Interesting old photos

The Andrew Jackson photo is the most mind-blowing to me for this reason. He was a child scout during the American Revolutionary war. A British soldier asked him to shine his shoes and Andy Jackson spit in his face so the soldier bayonetted him scarring him. He was once in spitting distance of the famous British butcher and low key warcriminal that the bad guy in the patriot was based on, Bannister Tarleton. That man lived through a lot of old history from an American perspective and met a lot of interesting people. What's more mind-blowing is the photograph below.



This is a colorized photograph of John Quincy Adams, the son of founding father John Adams, also born before and remembering well the American Revolution. Because of his parentage, he met and talked to many of the founding fathers like Jefferson and Washington.
