Andrew Confidence Goodness Jackson Mercy True Merciful
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the final moments of General and former President of the United States, Andrew Jackson (1767-1845). Depicted in his later years, Jackson lies on his deathbed, surrounded by loved ones and holding a worn and open Bible. The title "I am in the hands of a merciful God. I have full confidence in his goodness and mercy" is inscribed below, reflecting Jackson's unwavering faith and trust in the divine. Born in the Carolinas in 1767, Jackson rose to prominence as a military leader, playing a pivotal role in the American Revolution and the War of 1812. He served as a representative and senator before being elected as the seventh President of the United States in 1829. His presidency was marked by significant achievements, including the Indian Removal Act and the establishment of the Second Bank of the United States. Despite his accomplishments, Jackson's later years were marred by personal tragedy and ill health. He suffered a stroke in 1836, which left him partially paralyzed and bedridden. As his condition worsened, Jackson remained steadfast in his faith, drawing strength and comfort from the Bible. On June 8, 1845, at the age of 78, Jackson passed away, leaving behind a legacy as a military hero, a respected statesman, and a devout believer in the power of God's mercy. This evocative photograph, taken in the year of his death, serves as a poignant reminder of Jackson's unwavering faith and the human experience of mortality.
