 American Minute with Bill Federer

 March 25

 "Old Hickory."

 During the Revolution, young Andrew Jackson refused to polish the
 boots of a British officer and was slashed on the arm with a sword
 and jailed.

 His mother died of prison fever while caring for captured American
 soldiers.

 Jackson carried a bullet in his body from a duel defending his wife's
 honor.

 In the War of 1812, General Andrew Jackson defeated over 2,000
 British in the Battle of New Orleans.

 On January 30, 1835, President Andrew Jackson survived an
 assassination attempt when Richard Lawrence fired two pistols at him
 at point blank range. Davy Crockett, who was with the President,
 disarmed the assailant.

 On MARCH 25, 1835, Andrew Jackson wrote in a letter:

 "I was brought up a rigid Presbyterian, to which I have always
 adhered.

 Our excellent Constitution guarantees to every one freedom of
 religion, and charity tells us (and you know Charity is the real
 basis of all true religion)...judge the tree by its fruit.

 All who profess Christianity believe in a Saviour, and that by and
 through Him we must be saved."

 Andrew Jackson concluded: "We ought, therefore, to consider all good
 Christians whose walks correspond with their professions, be they
 Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Baptist, Methodist or Roman Catholic."
