'''Andrew Jackson''' (1767–1845), seventh President (1829–1837), founder of the Democratic Party and the archetype of American plebeian nationalism — "Old Hickory," the general of New Orleans who broke the British-backed Creek confederacy and crushed the Second Bank of the United States.

== The stages framework ==
Jackson's veto of the Second Bank recharter (1832) and removal of federal deposits was the defining anti-finance action in American history: he framed it as the people versus the "monster" — a privileged paper-money oligarchy (Nicholas Biddle, foreign investors) feeding on the republic. His 1834 censure fight and the Specie Circular completed the assault. For Infrared this is the primal scene of American anti-usury politics — proof that the American people will back a leader who attacks finance by name.

Haz invokes Jackson as evidence for the continuity of American populism: MAGA's base is Jacksonian America nationalist, anti-bank, anti-elite, suspicious of cosmopolitan finance.

""Andrew Jackson appears in Infrared streams through the Jacksonian democracy framework — U.S. politics as objective stages — and the bank-war lore.

The stages framework

From the ELECTION!!! | ACP UPDATES stream:

> "U.S. politics has these objective stages. There was Jacksonian democracy. There was the Reconstruction era after the Civil War. There was the era of populism in the 1890s and early 1900s. These all reflect different forms in which U.S. politics was taken. And MAGA is one such form. And Marxists have to adapt to this — they have to adapt to the new [form]."

The bank war lore

From a caller on the Debating CRAZY Tweaker stream (Haz letting the anti-central-bank history stand while rejecting the caller's ethnic framing): Jackson "refused to renew the 20-year Central Bank charter around 1835-36 and he actually paid off the debt" — and there was an assassination attempt (1835, Richard Lawrence). The bank war as the primal scene of American anti-finance politics is community canon.

Also noted

The Indian Removal Act raised in debate over "stolen land" framing — Haz answering by comparative history (Han expansion, 91% Han majority) rather than denial (RED PILL NEWS stream).
