Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is a show that is worth watching because message was good, the atmosphere/tone was appropriate, and the plot was logical.

The people around Andrew implied that this decision making is not their responsibility. This transfer of responsibility is a the prime example of Americans not giving enough thought in important decision making, because they all think it 's not their
