So, I've heard a number of times from Americans that President Andrew Jackson was very racist. And sure, I can imagine that's true, considering he lived in the early 1800s.
My question is, when compared to the common man of his time, was his opinion of POC particularly extreme? Or was he just a man, living in his own time, with beliefs that aged badly but happened to be very common?
There's always more that can be said, but this is a question we get fairly often. While you wait for a new answer you might enjoy reading this older thread.
