	USA-Presidents.Info - Andrew Jackson
		Jackson followed Jefferson as a supporter of the ideal of an agricultural republic, and felt the Bank improved the fortunes of an elite circle of commercial and industrial entrepreneurs at the expense of farmers and laborers.
		Although Jackson sympathized with the Southern interpretation of the tariff debate, he was also a strong supporter of federalism (in the sense of supporting a strong union with considerable powers for the central government) and attempted to face Calhoun down over the issue, which developed into a bitter rivalry between the two men.
		Jackson was responsible for the notorious Indian Removal Act of 1830, and thus the Trail of Tears, in unconstitutional defiance of a Supreme Court ruling.

	Facing South: Another Tulia in Texas
		Under the guise of removing drugs (specifically, crack cocaine) from the streets, local lawmen may have themselves broken state law, primarily by relying on a local crack addict as their sole informant to send 28 of the 29 defendants to prison for sentences from one to 20 years.
		This may sound familiar: The story bears an uncanny resemblence to the infamous Tulia case in western Texas, where in 1999, 15 percent of the town's African-American population was arrested, prosecuted and sentenced to 750 years of prison time based on the uncorroborated testimony of a disgraced undercover officer.
		They were pardoned by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, after scathing international criticism and a judge accused Coleman of being a liar, thief and racist.
