Andrew Jackson Duel

Ten score and one years ago today, Andrew Jackson, who later became the first wholly popularly elected President of those United States, albeit indirectly, and whom Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn gave a large share of the blame for bringing democracy to America, walked victoriously out of a duel.

One could wonder what would have happened had that duel gone differently. To what extent was Jackson merely a symptom? The same question can be asked of Wilson, 80-90 years later.
