Andrew Jackson was the 7th president of the USA. He was the leader of the troops that fought during the War of 1812 at New Orleans Louisiana. He defended the fort from over 3,000 British troops. The British troops suffered 2000 death while Jackson’s troops only suffered under 100. He was elected President twice by the general population but the first time the electoral collage was corrupt and elected John Q. Adams has the 6th president.  The next presidential election Jackson ran again. During the race it was discovered the Jackson had married a woman that was still married to another man.This event brought uproar though the people.However Andrew Jackson was still elected the 7th president of the USA. Before he was elected his wife died. Once he was elected into the White House, he made some not so smart  choices. He got into several duals. Once he walked out his ten paces and then turned and was shot in the chest. After he was shot he raised his pistol and shot and killed the man who shot him. He lived the rest of his life with the bullet in his chest.

    This leads me into another question do you judge a man on his intent or his actions? I think you should judge a person on both. For example what if I wanted to murder someone but the cops caught you before I could kill him. Would they just let them go or charge me with attempted murder? I would get charged with attempted murder or conspiracy to commit murder,they would not just let me go free. I would also judge someone by there actions. If I actually murdered someone I would got to jail for murder.Therefore People Should be judged on the actions and there intentions. What do you people think? Comment Please
