@ramsey@paninid@fedwards9965 The main detail that makes Jackson unusual relative to the early 1800's south was his fierce loyalty to the union. IMO, that loyalty emerges from two things: British soldiers tortured him as a child, which is why he wrecked them so hard in the war of 1812, giving him a furious blend of trauma and narcissism tightly coupled with stories about defending the nation.
His narcissism is arguably why he is a little more good than bad, which is a mindfuck
