TRUTH !!

Jackson, the controversial seventh president of the United States, was notoriously thin-skinned. He had a temper that landed him the reputation of a volcano that "only the most intrepid or recklessly curious cared to see it erupt," according to biographer H.W. Brands.

But Jackson didn't settle his scores in 140 characters or less. He challenged his foes to duels - more than 100 of them (one opponent even died!). However, for the most part, people would stand and fire their gun in the air or purposefully miss their opponent, making the duel more about a test of courage when one's honor was at stake or their reputation was threatened.
