Jackson led the Indian Wars, was an advocate of Indian removal, his era's euphemism for ethnic cleansing ( or genocide) and was a wealthy slave owner. He helped clear much of Georgia and Alabama of the Creek tribe under orders from Pres. Jefferson, which made the installation of cotton plantation slavery possible. The Democratic party began as pro-slavery, anti- Indian and in its current form is liberal only in the sense that the rest of the world recognizes that word to mean, i.e. the hands-off, free market economic liberalism.
Liberals in modern U.S. colloquialism is mostly a pejorative term that has lost all meaning.
