Jonesborough (or Jonesboro)
I believe that the writer intended to state that Jonesboro is in "eastern" Tennessee, not "western" Tennessee. It was, at one time, in western North Carolina. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.227.18.41 (talk) 14:55, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
This is true and needs to be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.13.74.164 (talk) 15:55, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
Yes, Jonesboro is in Northeast Tennessee adjacent to Johnson City. I live less than 20 miles from the town. Papawdon822 (talk) 01:52, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Edit request on 23 January 2012
In the section "Legal and Political Career", please change the phrase "Jonesborough, now western Tennessee" to "Jonesborough, now northeastern Tennessee" because western is incorrect.

Done--Edit request
In the second sentence of the second paragraph the word 'men' should be replaced with the word 'voters.' There were many 'men' who would not have supported a rich slave owner, and the juxtaposition of the previous sentence which specifically mentions slaves makes the distinction relevant. I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.181.224.161 (talk) 06:12, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

"At the time, Rachel Robards was in an unhappy marriage with Captain Lewis Robards, a man subject to irrational fits of jealous rage." The word -irrational- seems to be more of a value judgement than a statement of fact. I am not sure that everyone would agree that a fit of jealous rage upon finding your wife living with someone else as "irrational". TLCrawford 66.192.76.210 (talk) 18:43, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Foreign relations
The Siamese-American Treaty of Amity and Commerce was negotiated in 1833 on behalf of Andrew Jackson by Edmund Roberts. Following agreement of the Senate, Dr. W. S. W. Ruschenberger's return mission exchanged ratifications at Bangkok, 14th April 1836. Other than this, I know naught about Jackson's foreign relations. Does anybody? --Pawyilee (talk) 14:49, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

- Andy let his State department handle minor treaties like that one--I doubt he even read it. However he did pay attention to Texas and Mexico (and stayed out of their war). Rjensen (talk) 16:43, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
- Minor it may have been, but it contains most favored nation clauses; astute of State to work those in, as it was astute of Andy to stay out of the Tex-War, as well as the Laotian Rebellion.--Pawyilee (talk) 10:12, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- Also, Roberts credits the secretary of the Navy for his commission as ambassador-at-large, not State, though the Senate has to approve and to POTUS to sign off. It really is a remarkable treaty for the time. The two treaties negotiated had little or no affect on insular America, but the journals of him and his successor reveal that not everyone had a frontier mentality back then.--Pawyilee (talk) 08:35, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

thousands of tribes?
Is "thousands of Native American tribes" correct? It's in the lede, but it seems contradicted by the body. Perhaps "thousands of tribal Native Americans" (or more) is meant. Nick Levinson (talk) 16:39, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
- Done, by Fat&Happy; thank you. Nick Levinson (talk) 17:34, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
