- Опубликовано: 19 май 2023
- The duel between Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson took place on May 30, 1806, near the Red River in Kentucky. The dispute stemmed from a series of personal and political disagreements between the two men. Dickinson had insulted Jackson's wife, Rachel, and criticized his decisions as a judge. The actual duel was conducted with pistols at a distance of 24 feet. As the duel commenced, Dickinson fired first and struck Jackson in the chest, causing a severe wound. Jackson, determined to defend his honor, calmly aimed and fired, mortally wounding Dickinson, who died shortly thereafter. Despite his victory, Jackson suffered from the bullet lodged near his heart for the remainder of his life. The incident played a significant role in shaping Jackson's reputation as a man of resolve and bolstered his future political aspirations.

The entire saga between Jackson and Dickinson sounds exactly like a multi-chapter side mission on RDR2.
That would’ve been awesome
I now want this as DLC! 😂 💀
AJ wasn't one to mess with. This is the guy who would later lay a beating on his own attempted assassin.
Live by the gun, die by the gun
But Jackson didn't die by the gun. So much for that inaccurate old saying.
@craigbhill wasn't talking about Jackson .... the other guy actually lived by the gun 🔫 Lmaooo I found had watched the video, the reference would have been obvious
Dickinson
@@craigbhillJackson didn't live by the gun. He was just good at using one and killed a lot of men who wanted to live by the gun. That was her point.
Duels would cut down on all this nonsense in Congress! Bring them back!
Sounds like Dickinson liked to look for trouble-and he found it!
Yes 100% agree.
Great work like the narration
Thank you! It was a bit of a challenge with only a few pictures to work from.
@@Lifeinthe1800s was that your own narration? It was very well done!
Yes it is and thank you for the compliments! I'm just starting out in the field of narration.
Andrew Chadson
When men were men. U stood behind ur words with your life back then not hide behind a cell phone or computer when u bashed or down talked a person
It's not being a man, it's being an idiot. Nobody needs to die over stupid petty shit.
@@TruthSpeaker. Honour is important.
I think you missed the part where he reloaded and murdered Dickinson in cold blood
@@ComradeZeromus Dickinson was absolutely demonic to Jackson's wife, Rachel. He beat her, refused to divorce her etc. IIRC.
Love that background music!
Thank you! It was a challenge to find something that fit.
So Jackson reloaded his pistol? How is that honorable?
From what I read, Jackson re-cocked the gun rather than reloading it. Which apparently was also against the norms. But it seems like.Andrew Jackson didn't give a damn for norms.
Jackson was truly a great president! It would have been a very interesting point in history to live! If I'm not wrong he was the last president to bring the U.S. completely out of debt! A real man's man!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Probably not, if you were a Cherokee Indian!
@@brianharris9835 Jackson should be judged by how he served his own people. He served his people admirably.
I remember in school, teachers/principals would allow kids (boys and girls against their same gender) to settle their problems privately! Some became friends, some just learned to stay away from each other, and some wanted to take it further. 90% of time it was friendship, or understanding!
Definitely not todays standards...
And how did the kids that "wanted to take it further" actually carry that out? Did they progress to using weapons on each other after school?
@@april1st183 Don't know. Everyone had common sense back then, and knew the results of weapons. Unlike the ignorant entitled morons today.
Interesting don't blame Jackson. A man can only y take so much.
I heard about the duel between the two before A good job on this old story and good narrating too
Thank you!
New mr beast challenge, “on todays videos whoever challenges me to a dual and wins gets to keep my channel and a million dollars”
Now that would be a nws
As a Jackson further down the generational line, I must concede that that fiery temper still exists. And it can be used for our advantage, and/or be our downfall. As I age, I've learned to use it wisely!
Jordan Peterson has a lot to say about this. Act accordingly. I walk softly and carry a big caliber. My Irish great grandparents were insisted to fight to defend the north and freedom . My grandpa was navy in ww1 my dad ww2 my brother's Nam Era and gulf I know I have it in me to defend the innocent. ( or myself) but I hope I never need to.
They told me at the museum that he had no
Natural children…..
He didn't have natural children. He adopted a native child. I'm decended from others in the family
I'm from Irish decent and my blood runs hot if someone puts down America! Jackson has always been my favorite president and if you're related to him then hat's off for you!God Bless America!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Also the man who did the Indian removal act.
Such pain & grief resulted then & still occurs today, 2023. What stupidity!
Everyone wanted to kill all the natives. Jackson was the nice guy who wanted to keep them alive.
RIGHT?! 1st thing I said! History still being whitewashed in the U.S. & getting worse.
Good!
Yes, exactly. I wouldn’t call him brave.
While duels might seem outsated and barbaric today, back then, it was commonplace, despite my just saying a molent before it was also considered outdated and barbaric at the time. Now, allow me to wax poetic about how honorable and noble it all was.
My Ancestors lived in the same community as his family in the 18th Century . The Waxhaws .I’m pretty sure his treatment by the British around there made him dislike them
Coldest president ever
So he lost because he was hit in the shoulder first, he did commit murder.
Hit in the soldier? 😂
@@Dude0000 haha,noticed now
Absolute Mad Lads: Andrew Jackson. Get on it Dankula!
Andrew Jackson was a G…
EVEN today duels are legal - and if need a lawyer to represent you - holla at ya boy - before or after the duel
Greatest U.S. President to ever live. The balanced the budget and kicked the banksters out. Too bad people like Lincoln, Wilson, and Roosevelt let them back in and basically handed over the majority of power to them.
Don't forget Barbara bush and the drunk driver
Life in the 1800s where could I look for information on the web about my great great great Grandfather who was friends with Abraham Lincoln and visited him at the White House and also know Andrew Jackson.
That's what my Grandfather's obituary said but I can't find anything on it 🇺🇲 THANKS
If the legal system ran like that today, think how much quieter public life would be.
just devlare gang shootouts as duels and the murder rate looks great, democrat style
The time before John Wick 4
This would solve so many problems today
Nice eyebrows 👌 😅
Ayo the homie A Jackson was on his grimey ish .. aj smacked ninjas b 😂
Someone had to go
That's how they settled disputes back then, effective
1 BADASS MAN We need a President like that now 🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅
Andrew Jackson was not what I would call a good guy
I call him a genocidal POS.
He was the first common man to become president, paid off the national debt, and despite people calling him racist for The Indian Removal Act, he adopted 2 Native American orphans.
@@Benjifan2000 The child whose parents he had slaughtered? I wouldn't call that adoption, more like kidnapping. What a hero.
@@Nathan-gn3ls The Native Americans wouldn't take care of them, and he was their legal father.
@@Benjifan2000 he was not a good man and he killed thousands of people on the Trail of Tears. Whatever do you mean "first common man"? What do you call John Adams?;
An excellent revelation😊👍👍…a shame today…that we cannot settle things with…a duel 😔 At least…not in public 😉
Agreed 100% most are too cowardice nowadays to back up there threats and slander today. They say whatever with no reprocussions anymore.
@@michaeldouglas1243 Today a husband becomes a "trans wife" or a "trans toddler"! For real! And feminists would hate being the reason for a duel!
In reality,Richard Nixon,or Bush 1and 2 beat the snot out of that psychopath.
Jackson, a gentleman bad*ss.
We should bring dueling back to the states. How can something that's consensual between two opposing parties even remotely be barbaric? They're both agreeing to it, they both know the risks involved. Hell, have it supervised by cops, whatever, just bring it back and let us utilize it as a resource to do away with idiots 😂
Be careful what ya wish for. Some idiots can be good shots. Sometimes it's all they know how to do.😂 Ya don't want a country full of dueling idiots running around, right?
so LOL that a lawless game of chicken that leaves 1 man tragically dead & the other permenantly in pain somehow bolstered the reputation of the killer, who appears to have broken the rules with a second shot. how american.
As if this didn't happen in other countries as well. Of course it did. Dueling was common in Europe at the time, so how do you account for this being "American"? Where do you think American traditions came from?
@@ironcladranchandforge7292 hello. america has a rich tradition of lawlessness. whether it was jackson taking a second shot, the 1890s robber barons, JFK buying an election, or the current uniparty, the US has a history of lawlessness. do you think biden won his election fair & square? i rest my case.
Bring back the duel.
Reading a southern history book and the parts about Jackson being rough and easy to anger and not fitting in with the establishemtn reminds me of a certain more recent President who put on a good "every man" show with wild abandon to protocol and properness. It's clear history is ever present as we grapple with what type of personality we want in our leaders.
its a coincidence. drumpf should not have won but for low turnout from the blue base for the awful hilary. even biden half dead could beat him.
As though "personality" is the most important trait we should consider. God forbid if a President should write a mean tweet!! How about voting for a person who isn't corrupt and senile? How about voting for a person that doesn't run our economy into the ground and put us upon the precipice of WW3? Oh but the mean tweets, the mean tweets.........
@@ironcladranchandforge7292 hear hear !!
@@ironcladranchandforge7292right on.
Very nice and intuitive observation. True leadership is something that seems even more difficult to find nowadays.
Trump vs Biden
Biden would shoot himself in the knee
We already did that, Biden whooped him like a red-headed step-child. And he's about to body him once and for all come 2024.
They'd stick the barrels in their own mouths 😂😂😂
Honor. Integrity. Bring it back to the Presidency because we don't have that in 2023.
😂 We definitely didn't have it with this ass hat either, fellow American.
You are a traitor to the United States. That said, your disgruntled tears are like warm butter.
Dueling needs a comeback. You want it so bad commie, cati.😊
Derping needs a comeback.
