President
Andrew Jackson |
March 15, 1767 - June 8, 1845.
President of the United States from 1829 to 1837.
General Jackson was a CITIZEN soldier—no West Point Military Academy for him. The brave army that fought by his side and saved the United States were CITIZEN soldiers. They were the ARMED PEOPLE or MILITIA of the United States whose right to bear arms shall NOT be infringed. (2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution).
The British invaders were were veterans of the Napoleonic Wars and the best trained army in the world.
|
General Andrew Jackson was the hero of the Battle of New Orleans. |
|
The Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815. |
The British were actually fighting for the Spanish—their deadly enemy....Here is a quote from Jackson historian Augustus C. Buell:
The British plan of subjugation was complete. Soon after the battle it was learned that General Pakenham had a proclamation written, signed and ready to be promulgated the moment his army should enter the city. This proclamation denied the right of Napoleon to sell Louisiana, denounced the pretensions of the United States to its sovereignty, declared that Spain, the rightful possessor, was incapable of maintaining her territorial rights and, finally, asserted a provisional occupation by the British forces as a virtual protectorate in behalf of the Spanish crown. The night after the battle this proclamation was burned. It may have been used to illuminate the scene where the corpse of its author was being prepared for shipment to England in a cask of rum. (Buell, History of Andrew Jackson, Vol, II, pp. 80-81).
The Triune God was fighting against the British because they planned on giving the Louisiana Territory back to Spain. That was the reason they were routed and suffered so many casualties.
| British losses................700 killed, 1400 wounded, 500 prisoners. |
| U.S. losses...........8 killed, 13 wounded. |
Winston Churchill said this of the Battle of New Orleans:
Never in the field of human conflict were so many killed with so few casualties on the opposing side
It was the most lop-sided victory in the history of warfare because a small ragtag militia had defeated the most professional army in the world.
By this miraculous Divine intervention, the young U.S. Republic was saved from the threat of foreign invasion until the Civil War.

During the 19th century, January 8 was a BIG holiday and celebration in the U.S. Almost like the 4th of July in January.
The War of 1812 or the Second War of Independence
President Jackson's parents were born in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, Ireland. His parents emigrated to the U.S. in 1765. If the family had waited 2 more years, President Jackson would have been born in Ireland. He was one of the greatest sons of St. Patrick that ever lived.
On June 12, 1812, war broke out between Great Britain and the U.S. The eastern seaboard of the U.S. was invaded and Washington City was burned to the ground. This was just a diversionary tactic or feint as the main blow was aimed at NEW ORLEANS —the key to the Louisiana Territory.

In December 1814, a huge armada of British ships and over 10,000 of the best soldiers in the world approached the city of New Orleans. New Orleans was the key to the mighty Mississippi River and the gateway to the Louisiana Territory. They felt supremely confident, and looked forward to a quick victory, and then as a reward the BOOTY and BEAUTY of the city of New Orleans!!
The British were filled with contempt for the performance of the U.S. citizen soldiers and they referred to them as "Dirty Shirts."
President James Madison dispatched general Andrew Jackson to forestall the invasion. General Jackson led a force of about 5,000 militia comprising Tennessee and Kentucky volunteers, free blacks, and assorted Creoles and Indians.
As the British government was conducting "peace negotiations" with the U.S. in Belgium, a huge armada was secretly assembling in Jamaica ready for the invasion of New Orleans.
Protestant Prime Minister was assassinated just before the war began!!
On May 11, 1812, Spencer Perceval, the Protestant Christian Prime Minister of Great Britain, was brutally slain by an assassin from Liverpool, England, named John Bellingham. He left a grieving widow and 12 children.

Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1809 to 1812. |
|
Spencer Perceval was shot in the House of Commons, and died instantly from a gunshot wound. |
Spencer Perceval was brutally gunned down in the very Houses of Parliament on May 11, 1812.
Prime Minister Perceval was a lot like General Jackson in matters of personal and public conduct. The Prime Minister was very patriotic and loved his country. Though he had a wife and 12 children to support, he refused to use the office of Prime Minister to enrich himself.
King George III called him one of the most honest men that he ever knew.
Had the British conquered New Orleans, he would never have given the Louisiana Territory back to Spain. That is why he was slain in cold blood as a warning to any future Prime Minister who might prove recalcitrant
Normally, the Jesuits like to use the cup of Borgia to get rid of unwilling world leaders. In this case, it was a public execution as a warning to any future uncooperative Prime Ministers. As expected, the assassin John Bellingham, was tried and hung within a week, because DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES!!
Top U.S. general was on the Spanish payroll!!
General Jackson was surrounded by traitors in very high places, who, for the sake of filthy lucre, were more than glad to help the British give their country to the Spanish.
|
General James Wilkinson (1755-1825). |
|
Aaron Burr (1756-1836). |
The British were supremely confident of success because the top U.S. general on the eastern front was also a paid agent of Spain. His name was General James Wilkinson and Benedict Arnold was a "patriot" compared to this general.
He took an oath of loyalty to the king of Spain and was involved in several schemes to destroy the infant Republic. In the Spanish archives in Havana, Cuba, he was known as "Agent 13." He was also married to Anne Biddle of the Philadelphia banking family.
Anybody who threatened to expose him was brutally murdered, including Meriwether Lewis, of the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition to the Pacific Ocean.
The Louisiana Territory was just purchased from France by the United States. This Territory was initially claimed by France, but France secretly ceded it to Spain in 1762. In the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the British ratified the treaty giving Spain hegemony over the vast area.

The Louisiana Territory was purchased from France in 1803. It doubled the size of the United States. |
Spain . . . and England . . . were furious when they found out that Napoleon had sold the vast territory to the U.S. Spain was a broken reed and could do nothing militarily but England had the most powerful navy in the world.
The British never recognized Napoleon's right to acquire the Louisiana Territory from the Spanish and then sell it to the U.S.
They were determined to conquer it and then hand it back to Spain. That was their modus operandi . . . until they met general Jackson!
President Jackson versus the U.S. Bank
President Jackson faced a far deadlier enemy than the British muskets when he reached the White House. That enemy was the moneychangers of the U.S. Bank. A central Bank was part of the scheme by the Spanish to strangle the British colonies after their separation from Great Britain. The first Bank's charter was drafted in 1791 by the Congress, and signed by George Washington.

Inauguration of President Jackson on March 4, 1829. |
The people loved the hero of the battle of New Orleans and elected him to the Presidency in the year 1828. He served his country in that high office for 8 years. Little did he know before taking the oath of office that he would face a far more dangerous enemy than ever he faced from the British muskets.
That ferocious enemy was the MONEY POWER represented by the U.S. Bank.
|
Nicholas Biddle (1786-1844), president of the U.S. Bank. |
|
U.S. Bank headquarters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (circa 1836). |
Biddle was Rome's agent in the United States . . . and her best brain. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania at the age of 13, and from Princeton at 17. He mastered the secret science of paper money and banking at an early age.
He was head of the 2nd Bank of the U.S. With many Congressmen and Senators financially beholden to him, he wielded great political power. He deliberately created a banking panic and a depression for the purpose of frightening the voters and blaming it on President Jackson. Biddle was later arrested and charged with fraud, but his powerful protectors shielded him from justice . . . in this life.
President Jackson's unflinching determination and unwavering patriotism prevailed against Biddle and his Bank. President Jackson called the Bank a monster and was determined to pull all its teeth. He said:
I am ready with the screws to draw every tooth and then the stumps.
The paper-money system and its natural associations—monopoly and exclusive privileges—have already struck their roots too deep in the soil, and it will require all your efforts to check its further growth and to eradicate the evil.
The Federal Reserve or 3rd Usury Bank of the U.S.
The direct successor of this corrupt bank that President Jackson terminated is called the "FEDERAL" Reserve Bank. It is not FEDERAL and it has no reserves. It actually lends money at USURY to the U.S. government, and as collateral, the U.S. government collects INCOME TAX to repay the loans.

He who pays the piper calls the tune so the FEDERAL Reserve Bank has a virtual stranglehold on the entire country.
Usury is a form of economic warfare, and is strictly prohibited by the Bible.
God did permit usury in the Bible but that was to help destroy the 7 wicked nations that inhabited the Promised Land.
Once those nations were destroyed, usury was outlawed by the Scriptures.
The President's Lady

Mrs. Andrew Jackson (1767-1828). |

Tomb of Andrew and Rachel Jackson. |
Behind every great man is a GREAT woman ....Rachel Jackson was the faithful wife of President Jackson. She was the victim of a failed marriage in a time when a divorce was almost impossible to obtain. In order to stop her husband from reaching the White House, the most vicious rumors were spread concerning her former marriage. She literally died of a broken heart just before her husband's inauguration. President Jackson said this about his beloved Rachel:
A being so gentle and so virtuous slander might wound, but could not dishonor.
Her life story was written by award wining author Irving Stone in a book entitled The President's Lady. It was made into a Hollywood movie in 1953 starring Charlton Heston and Susan Hayward.

Editor's Notes
General Wilkinson was never convicted of treason and died in Mexico in 1825. When the U.S. invaded Cuba in 1898, the full story of General Wilkinson was discovered in the Spanish archives in Havana.
One of the greatest enemies to progress and invention was DEBTORS' PRISON. Many inventive people feared to borrow money to finance their inventions because of the fear of going bankrupt . . . and ending up in prison. In 1832, during the Presidency of our Hero, he signed the Bill outlawing debtors' prison.
