Andrew Jackson [10]
Andrew Jackson was historically a man of honor, but he also was very sensitive. He killed a man and brutally attacked many others. Sometimes in organized duels, but others, like his attempted assassin, he just beats with his cane. Jackson has strong roots of hatred of the Native Americans and this is what many believe contributed to Jackson's over-riding of John Marshall and the Supreme Court's decision against the Indian Removal Act.
