Monumental inscriptions!. Book illustration from Library of Congress

An account of six military executions ordered by Gen. Jackson in 1815. During the 1828 presidential election, John Quincy Adams' Federalist proponents created a series of "coffin handbills" aimed at Tennessee war hero Andrew Jackson, a radical Democractic-Republican. Published by Philadelphia journalist John Binns, this broadside was the first in a series that attacked Jackson for the execution of Tennessee miliatiamen in Mobile during the War of 1812. John Binns initiated a negative campaign that proved ineffective; Jackson won by a landslide.
