That's true, Andy Jackson is the only President in history to pay off the national debt. If Andy Jackson hadn't been such an asshole to the American Indians and padded his pockets from the sale of the tribal lands he stole from them I would say he was a great President.

That's true, Andy Jackson is the only President in history to pay off the national debt. If Andy Jackson hadn't been such an asshole to the American Indians and padded his pockets from the sale of the tribal lands he stole from them I would say he was a great President. He was the first President who used the Presidency to enrich himself to the point of being a very very wealthy man. But he did pay off the national debt.
What was stolen from them? Why is the US theft and Constantinople is just a battle lost? The Colonists won a battle (several battles) across a vast, untamed continent and were magnanimous enough to give the losers their own lands to build casinos and sell cigarettes.
Andy Jackson was pretty good at bringing various indigenous tribes to the table, working out a treaty and then re-negging on that treaty. Knowing the land under the tribal ownership would suddenly become available he'd swoop in, buy the land up on the cheap before anybody else could do so and then sell the land for immense profits. Just ask the Cherokee Nation about Andy Jackson.
Some of them weren't defeated in battle. They came to the table and pursued peace by way of treaty and were then betrayed by the Jacksonian government.

They had to be defeated and dispossessed. We wouldn't be here otherwise. Life is War of one kind of another.
