Independent Treasury?

I suffered typhoid poisoning as Speaker of the House defending Andrew Jackson’s Bank War after he visited Stephen White of Salem. White was the banker behind Senator Daniel Webster who was Secretary of State for President Harrison who died one month into office of typhoid. In my presidency I was against a third national bank and created an Independent Treasury governed by Congress. For this I will be assassinated 3 months after leaving the presidency by typhoid by Daniel Webster and Henry Clay. A doctor who was at the death of Harrison of typhoid was on the river boat where I caught my own dose.

I am President Andrew Jackson

I am President Andrew Jackson’s. After loosing money on a land deal with no species backing I started the Bank Wars in 1833 which culminated in the collapse of the Second Bank of United States. Another reason was that the British held 70% of the shares in the bank. I fought with James Knox Polk who was the Speaker of the House against Daniel Webster and Henry Clay. I visited Daniel Webster’s banker Stephen White’ s home off the Common in Salem to explain my reasons to him. Soon afterward I suffered an assassination attempt and Polk a typhoid poisoning. In fact after leaving his presidency Polk would die from a typhoid poisoning because he made the Independent Treasury. For my not renewing the charter of the bank, last year I have been removed from the Federal Reserve $20 notes.
