This visit was terrific, tiring, and an eye-opener.
The slavery, politics, and the everyday life on
a plantation of a wealthy, driven man was
somewhat repulsive.
Jacksonian "democracy" excluded women, blacks, and indians.
Women were to know their place, blacks were to be owned,
and indians were rounded up and marched to Oklahoma on the
Trail of Tears.
The Jackson Mansion.
Family cemetary at Old Hickory's tomb.
The original two-story Jackson house on the left was
re-tooled into slave quarters after the mansion was finished.
Well this fits!
We needed a diversion and a little music.
TWICE--and way past our bedtimes.
