The Andrew Jackson Song

Andrew Jackson

Was a psychopath

And woe to anyone

Who incurred his wrath

Yes, he's the hero of New Orleans

But also the father of the Trail of Tears

Andrew Jackson

Was a psychopath

Postcard - New Orleans, Louisiana

"St. Louis Cathedral And Jackson Square, New Orleans, La. Erected in 1792 at a cost of $50,000 and rebuilt in 1851. The site on which the St. Louis Cathedral stands was selected in 1718 by Bienville for a place of worship. In 1724 a structure of brick was erected and known as the Parish Church of St. Louis. It was destroyed by fire in 1788. Extreme right Pantalba Building where the Elite of the city dwelt."

1920s?

One of my favorite cities.

The words, "The Union Must and Shall Be Preserved" were carved into the base of the Jackson statue during the occupation of New Orleans by Union forces in 1862 under the command of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler. The words paraphrased a famous toast made by President Jackson in response to State Rights champion John C. Calhoun. My little phone camera couldn't really pick up the words too well, but trust me, they're still there.
