THE BOOK OF DAMN
YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
Jackson does something about the banks
Chapter 24
In fact, the Yanks were so busy adding states,
2Not to mention making money,
3That they went through a whole bunch of presidents without really noticing them,
4At all.
5iFor example, there were presidents named John Quincy Adams and Something Harrison and Something Tyler and Martin Van Buren and Millard Fillmore that nobody remembers to this day,
6Except that jJohn Quincy Adams was the son of John Adams, and too smart to be president,
7kFor some reason,
8And one of the others caught a cold at his inauguration and died almost immediately,
9lFor some reason.
10mAnd somewhere in there, Andrew Jackson became president.
