I've seen a lot of posts going over Armin's crying... Which I gotta say is getting me confused.

So apparently after the War of 1812, Jackson was all, "wow I kicked ASS. Bitches can't even handle me. FU England." *high fives Lafitte*

But then he gets bored, and America /really/ wants to expand but the gov is trying to be tactful about it, but Jackson is bored. So he decides to march into Florida and show the Spanish what for. (Besides they had been riling up the native americans again and selling them guns and whiskey-that's not cool. *no one bring up how now it's america making this mistake with mexican drug cartels*) So he marches right in, takes the two men who are to blame and hangs them.

One problem.

They are British.

Normally if you were to do this to a british subject, Britain would rain hell on you the likes of which you cannot even begin to conceive. Still, Britain was so freaking done with fighting in general, and they just weren't in the mood to bother with America. Fuck it, they just defeated Napoleon. Maybe if they ignored America, the Americans would go away (or at least continue to silently trade with them so they could both make a damned fortune and they'd say nothing more about it.)

So while everyone in the American government originally wanted to make Jackson apologise vehemently, Quincy Adams just calmly remarked, "the spanish weren't following the treaty we originally made with them, so we were simply doing their work for them."

Cold, Quincy. Cold. I like you.
