And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Every school child should be able to instantly name these bad ass Americans.
Back when people knew to glare menacingly at the camera/painter, and not smile.
Strongly disagree. Not one of these men can make any difference in the rest of these schoolkids' lives. Their countenances are only junk trivia, of zero value to anyone. Even if they were alive today, it would be as worthless to recognize them as it is today to recognize any of the contemporary politicians' mug shots.

Amazing how serious everyone was when getting their portrait done. Nobody smiled, as is the practice nowadays. Weird.
Jackson would've had Calhoun shot if he could have.
