There is clearly a lack of understanding of American history.
Abraham Lincoln was President of the United States of America during the Civil War. Jefferson Davis was President of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War.
Trump was rewriting History, WOW!
What led to the Civil War and how long did it take?
Trump was basing his opinion based on how Andrew Jackson handled the Nullification Crisis.

Nullification Crisis
The Nullification Crisis was a sectional crisis in 1832–33, during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, which involved a confrontation between South Carolina and the federal government. The crisis ensued after South Carolina declared that the federal Tariffs of 1828 and 1832 were unconstitutional and therefore null and void within the sovereign boundaries of the state.
nul•li•fi•ca•tion (ˌnʌl ə fɪˈkeɪ ʃən)
n.
1. an act or instance of nullifying.
2. the state of being nullified.
3. the failure or refusal of a U.S. state to aid in the enforcement of federal laws within its territory.

I see that you don't know your American History as well. Steven, Andrew Jackson had nothing to do with the Civil War at all and this is what this rewriting of history told by TRUMP is all about. TRUMP, even went as far to speculated that Jackson might have even been able to stop the Civil War from breaking out, calling him "a very tough person" with a "big heart."
Andrew Jackson was the 7th president of The United States of America from 1829 - 1837 some 8 years. The Civil War did now start until April 12, 1861 some 24 years after Andrew Jackson was out of office.
Now tell us Steven do you agree with Trump's statement?
It doesn't matter if I agree with President Trump's speculation. I told you what he was referring to, the Nullification Crisis, when South Carolina threatened to secede from the Union, and Andrew Jackson's role in it. Aside from that Ron you are a terrible student of history. You can't even understand the present.
NO! NO! NO! It does matter. In that interview from TRUMP their was no mention of some Nullification Crisis. This is a term used as a excuse for TRUMP'S, the leader of the free world rewriting of the great American History.
YOUR WORDS: Aside from that Ron you are a terrible student of history.
Steven I challenge you to refute my the dates in my last reply for it's accuracy, are you up to the challenge?
Even eighth-graders can comprehended that slavery threatened our early Republic and was only resolved through a bloody Civil War. President Trump's recent comments reveal his juvenile comprehension of this issue.
To suggesting that President Andrew Jackson was a visionary and could have brokered a deal with the South to prevent the Civil War is naïve. It indicates total ignorance of our great history and our great past and not to make those errors of human wealth and suffering again.
This notion implies Jackson was more adept than that other guy, you know Steven, the 16th President of The United States of American Abraham Lincoln.
NOW STEVEN ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE? RETUFE MY DATES IF YOU CAN. (LOL)
I'll put your dates into perspective for you Ron. The first World Trade Tower attack was in 1993. That was 24 years ago. The threat is ongoing today. Clinton was President then and Trump is President now. Two hundred years from now there is sure to be some future Ron Gray thinking he knows all about 2017.
Come on man, you are really sounding foolish now. If forgot that main reason of why we are here, in this silly, imprudent, irrational and thoughtless rendition of your formulas depiction of the future, you got you forgot the leader of the Free World rewriting history to fit his own agenda, which could be so easily checked for accuracy and be refutes as a LIE.
NOW AGAIN STEVEN, ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE? RETUFE MY DATES IF YOU CAN. BECASE YOU LAST ATTEMPT WAS PURE BULL💩AND YOU KNOW IT!!! AS I PICK MYSELF OFF THE FLOOR FROM LAUGHING AT THAT ONE. WOW!!!(LOL)
Now try again and stay on topic.
Here's the difference Ron. You see this story as something major and it is anything but.
PLEASE SAVE THIS SPACE FROM PASTED NEWS

For me Steven, the freeing of my ancestors is very important to me and I don't want this president, the leader of the free world misleading and rewriting history, telling the American people and our children, that Andrew Jackson would not have had the Civil War, the freeing of human beings from slavery because he was tough and he had a big heart. THAT IS THE LIE.
What Trump is dog whistling to people like yourself is that Andrew Jackson was very angry some 24 years before it happen, that freedom would come to human beings in the south.
"SLAVERY," These are the days and conditions I don't want to see for the future.
I can't make this up Steven, this is the LIE, that keeps on LYING. These are his words. I know damn well you want to run from this subject and change this topic because this is the truth and you can't REFUTE a word I have said to you.
GO Ahead and GTF out of my face with your BULL💩. This topic will stay the same with you or without you Steven, which you can't REFUTE a thing I have told you yet and in the future. WOW!!!
So you don't like Andrew Jackson and you see Trump as a modern day slave owner. Is that it?
I had nothing to do with Andrew Jackson and I se that trump mislead the American people of the history of Andrew Jackson.
NOW STEVEN ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE? RETUFE MY DATES IF YOU CAN. (LOL)
Interesting, you are he same person who told STEVEN to leave BIA for years and you have no idea of this subject matter at all.
It hardly qualifies as misleading the American people.

what a filthy, lbgtv Queer Relationship you two have....!
STOP IT....both of you LIARS.....Stop Disrespecting BIA, and the African American Family
In his first Annual Message to Congress, Jackson recommended eliminating the Electoral College. He also tried to democratize Federal officeholding. Already state machines were being built on patronage, and a New York Senator openly proclaimed "that to the victors belong the spoils. . . . "
Jackson took a milder view. Decrying officeholders who seemed to enjoy life tenure, he believed Government duties could be "so plain and simple" that offices should rotate among deserving applicants.
Robert, don't bring your inadequacies to this blog. LBGTV Queer Relationships is not presented anywhere in this blog until you walked into the room.
Now if you want to make a comment on this report, please feel free.
That information is great about Andrew Jackson however, if the is your attempt to REFUTE my statements and the date of the Civil WAR then where is that evidence?
Your objection is not about dates Ron. Everyone, including the President, knows what the dates are, that is trivial. Your objection is to Jackson and Trump's admiration of him.
My mission is to be smooth about showing you that Trump was wrong in his attempt to rewriting history. Also, to show you that Andrew Jackson's information that I told you was accurate and precise.
On several occasions I have put a challenge to refute my findings, which you have not yet refuted a thing that I have said to you Steven.
You have said that the President, knows what the dates are, that is trivial. Untrue STEVEN, a former president some 24 years later had nothing to do with the Civil War, Mr. Andrew Jackson at this time was just a regular citizen, again and had no power to effect the direction of the Civil War at all.
Now if Trump admired Andrew Jackson, get his story right, that would show that greatest admiration of Andrew Jackson.
Remember Steven, Trump is the leader of the Free World and his words carry a lot of weight, when this man is found to be inaccurate, the rest of the world loses faith in him. that is his responsibility and his obligation to get it right.
NOW STEVEN DO YOU WANT TO STILL UP FOR MY CHALLENGE? CAN YOU REFUTE MY DATES OR ANYTHING ELSE I TOLD YOU, IF YOU CAN?
For me Steven, the freeing of my ancestors is very important to me and I don't want this president, the leader of the free world misleading and rewriting history, telling the American people and our children, that Andrew Jackson would not have had the Civil War, the freeing of human beings from slavery because he was tough and he had a big heart. THAT IS THE LIE.
Trump is not the leader of the free world and he did not rewrite the freeing of your ancestors. The freeing of your ancestors involved government going back to the 18th century and not just the civil war.
The United States of America is the leader of the Free World.
The "Leader of the Free World" is a colloquialism, first used during the Cold War, to describe either the United States or, more commonly, the President of the United States of America. The term when used in this context suggests that the United States is the principal democratic superpower, and the U.S. President is by extension the leader of the world's democratic states, i.e. the "Free World". The phrase has its origin in the late 1940s and became more widely used in the early 1950s. It was heavily referenced in American foreign policy up until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991, and has since fallen out of use, in part due to its usage in rhetoric critical of American policy.[5]

It took the Civil War to end slavery, here take a look:
Slaves and the American Civil War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaves_and_t...
Both Williams and Blackburn have made huge contributions to our understanding of this tumultuous period in American history. Nevertheless, the analyses quoted above miss the central fact about the American Civil War: it was a violent and thoroughgoing social revolution that overthrew slavery and constituted what was arguably the single biggest step forward in the entire history of American working people.
An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery, passed by the Pennsylvania legislature on 1 March 1780, was one of the first attempts by a government in the USA to begin an abolition of slavery.[1]
The Act prohibited further importation of slaves into the state, required Pennsylvania slaveholders to annually register their slaves (with forfeiture for noncompliance, and manumission for the enslaved), and established that all children born in Pennsylvania were free persons regardless of the condition or race of their parents.
Those enslaved in Pennsylvania before the 1780 law entered effect remained enslaved for life. Another act of the Pennsylvania legislature freed them in 1847.
All that was done without the bloodshed of the Civil War.
Did you understand the meaning of "The Leader of The Free World?"
There is no such thing as leader of the free world. You can't even define the free world.
Russia is part of the free world but the President of the United States sure is not the leader of Russia.
Do you really think that American democracy is functioning when the Democrats object to the President meeting with the Russian Foreign Minister? American democracy is dysfunctional and can't even lead itself.
Speaking to reporters at the Russian Embassy after his White House talks with Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Lavrov showed his irritation over repeated questions about Moscow’s alleged interference in the presidential elections.
“I never thought I’d have to answer such questions, particularly in the United States given your highly developed democratic system,” he said, according to a simultaneous translation of his remarks into English.
Hey Dummy, what is the matter with you, you don't believe WIKIPEDIA?
YOUR WORDS: Russia is part of the free world but the President of the United States sure is not the leader of Russia.
What is the matter STEVEN, Are you a Russian TROLL? Did you see me mention anything about being a part of anything?
I clearly said: "The Leader of The Free World?"
YOUR QUESTION STEVEN: Do you really think that American democracy is functioning when the Democrats object to the President meeting with the Russian Foreign Minister?
The United States of America has imposed sanctions on Russia and Putty wants them lifted. Only the leader of the free world could do that.
I see that you want to go off topic and talk about anything but Steele: Trump’s Civil War Comments Show ‘Clear Lack’ of Historical Understanding.
NOW STEVEN DO YOU WANT TO STILL TAKE UP MY CHALLENGE AND REFUTE MY DATES OR ANYTHING ELSE I TOLD YOU, IF YOU CAN ABOUT TRUMP ATTEMPT TO REWRITE AMERICAN HISTORY ?
I clearly said: "The Leader of The Free World?"
"NOW STEVEN DO YOU WANT TO STILL TAKE UP MY CHALLENGE AND REFUTE MY DATES OR ANYTHING ELSE I TOLD YOU, IF YOU CAN ABOUT TRUMP ATTEMPT TO REWRITE AMERICAN HISTORY?"
Leader of the free world is an old political slogan from the Cold War era. It may have been true in 1950 but it has no applicability today, especially given the meltdown of America as so abundantly demonstrated by you Ron. This blog is a prime example. The President did not reference any dates or rewrite any history. He's an admirer of Andrew Jackson and gave an opinion that Jackson may have been able to avert the Civil War had he lived in that time. Did you know Harry Truman was a big Andrew Jackson fan too?
It is Term Leader of The FREE WORLD still used to this day. What other country has the biggest Army and Navy in the world, what other country STEVEN?
The United States currency leads the way in stability and security, all over the world. That is why investor trade with the DOW Jones Industrial Markey because we lead to world, still in the all mighty dollar.
You rally need to take you head out of your ass and look around and get out more often. The United States of America is not in a financial meltdown after Obama brought us back from the greatest recession since The Great Depression and we are still rolling strong from it.
Admiration is find but to go as far as to put Andrew Jackson in that kind of hypothetical scenario and speculation was not a wish thing for the leader of the free world to be in public.
Russia has beat the United States. They've turned their Democrat minions to their purpose and you all are doing a fine job of destroying our democratic union, as evidenced by this blog.
The United States has the foot on Russia's neck, that is the reason why Putty wanted Trump elected so those sanctions can be lifted and Trump is bowing down to the Russians. What are you, why can't you see that?
"NOW STEVEN DO YOU WANT TO STILL TAKE UP MY CHALLENGE AND REFUTE MY DATES OR ANYTHING ELSE I TOLD YOU, IF YOU CAN ABOUT TRUMP ATTEMPT TO REWRITE AMERICAN HISTORY?"
Trump made no attempt to rewrite history.
And with the explanation about James Comey tonight to Lester Holt, you will see why President Trump admires President Jackson.
It is safe to say that Trump's statement Steven lift a lot of people baffled. To begin with, that statement of Trump's shows a stunning lack of basic historical knowledge. Not only was the president Andrew Jackson was dead before the Civil War occurred but Andrew Jackson Jackson was pro-slavery. That president was in favor for letting slavery last as long as it could.
Andrew Jackson was Unabashedly, proudly, without-a-doubt, pro-slavery and for a modern day president Leader of THE FREE WORLD to say that he admires a man like this, that would allow the Southern states to continue owning slaves, which has led many to ask: Is Trump is saying he would have been okay with a continuation of slavery.
That statement of Trump's caught my attention and got me to thinking about this ugly division of racism that divides this country every time breaks in the form of taxes or benefits go to the rich, they bring out this tool of racism to divide the masses and you always see poor white's giving up their freedoms, in the belief that it will hurt the Blacks more, when we are all in this together if you don't make $250.000 a year or better.
That's why I asked Ron:
So you don't like Andrew Jackson and you see Trump as a modern day slave owner. Is that it?

NO!!! FuFu!!! there is no such thing as a modern day slave owner in The United States but he will bring in cheap labor to undercut skilled union labor and this has been documented time after time and time again.
So you don't like Andrew Jackson and Trump is a modern day rich white man that uses and abuses the less fortunate. Is that it?
Who happens to be the leader of the FREE WORLD.
Because he don't care for You and I. What has he done to help The Main Stream American?
He's doing what's needed for the American economy.
WHAT?
It's there if you want to see it.
what is the matter with you can't you think faster then this, I ask you what?
Tune into Fox News and you will see what.
I am asking the man who said this: He's doing what's needed for the American economy. I asked YOU what? Now you want to direct me to FOX NEWS.
