The invincible Andrew Jackson, one of the luckiest guys ever

Post by Winston »

Here is an awesome History Channel documentary on the life of Andrew Jackson, who was invincible both in battle and in politics, or so history says.

He must have had an angel watching over his shoulder, because he should have been killed many times in impossible odds, but always managed to escape. Get this, during a duel with the best marksman in town named Dickinson, even though he was inexperienced with a pistol, he got hit just a few inches near his heart. And when he fired back, he hit Dickinson in the exact place that would kill him, thus beating the best shot in town even though he had no experience with a gun.

If that's not odd enough, this next one seems to be an eve bigger miracle. When he was President, an assassin walks right up to him and takes out his gun and fires it at him at point blank range, but the gun misfires and doesn't go off. So then he takes his backup spare gun out and fires it at Jackson, yet it ALSO misfires! What are the odds of that happening? How come Lincoln, JFK and RFK weren't that lucky?

There was one funny part at the end, after Jackson passed away from old age, when one guy asks another "Do you think he will go to heaven?" and the other guy replies "If Jackson wants to go to heaven, ain't nothing gonna stop him from getting there" since this guy had a virtual 100 percent success rate, according to history, of getting everything he wanted and winning every single conflict with everyone and everything, as though he had been invincible.
