An anti-Andrew Jackson pamphlet from the 1828 presidential campaign. These “Coffin Handbills” were widely distributed by his opponents, and attacked Jackson for, among other things, executing militiamen and massacring Native Americans. After describing how Jackson personally stabbed a man to death, the handbill asks, Gentle reader, it is for you to say, whether this man, who carries a sword cane, and is willing to run through the body of any one who may presume to stand in his way, is a fit person to be our President - to be the ruler of a peace loving People!!!
