Assassination Conspiracy Theories Part 1 - Andrew Jackson

On January 30, 1835, a mentally ill man attempted to an assassinated President Andrew Jackson. Jackson was a controversial president and political tensions were extremely high at the time, so there were many who believed that Jackson’s political opponents were behind the attempt on his life. Jackson even shouted, “let me alone. I know where this comes from” as the crowd tackled Richard Lawrence to the ground, indicating that he believed his political opponents orchestrated the whole thing. Andrew Jackson was so divisive and made so many enemies that his own Vice President, John C. Calhoun, resigned from his position and returned the Senate to become a strong voice of opposition to Jackson. Calhoun and Senator George Poindexter of Mississippi used inflammatory rhetoric when criticizing Jackson such as describing him as a "Caesar who ought to have a Brutus", and some feel that this rhetoric may have inspired the assassination attempt. Jackson garnered so much hatred because of his support of the Indian Removal Act, opposition to the 2nd National Bank of the United States and handling of the Nullification Crisis. Tensions were so high that Vice President Martin Van Buren even began carrying two pistols whenever he entered the Senate building.
