Good Old Andrew Jackson
page: 10
share:
During the Revolution, young Andrew Jackson refused to polish the boots of a British officer and was slashed on the arm with a sword and jailed.
His mother died of prison fever while caring for captured American soldiers.
Jackson carried a bullet in his body from a duel defending his wife's honor.
In the War of 1812, General Jackson defeated over 2,000 British in the Battle of New Orleans.
In January of 1835, President Andrew Jackson survived an assassination attempt when a bearded man fired two pistols at him at point blank range.
On this day, March 25, 1835, Andrew Jackson wrote in a letter:
"I was brought up a rigid Presbyterian, to which I have always adhered. Our excellent Constitution guarantees to every one freedom of religion, and charity tells us (and you know Charity is the real basis of all true religion) ... judge the tree by its fruit.
All who profess Christianity believe in a Saviour, and that by and through Him we must be saved."
Jackson concluded: "We ought, therefore, to consider all good Christians whose walks correspond with their professions, be they Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Baptist, Methodist or Roman Catholic."
