PLEASE HELP************* I don't know what to say. The year is 1845 and you are a newspaper reporter who is assigned to write the obituary for Andrew Jackson. The first thing you must determine is whether your piece will paint Jackson's life in a positive or negative light. While typically, it's not kind to speak ill of the dead, you have free reign to voice your opinion (whether it be positive or negative) on the decisions he made and actions he took in his life.
