只是这消息需要花费很长时间
It just takes that long for news
才能跨越大西洋到新奥尔良
to cross the Atlantic and get to New Orleans.
但这对美♥利♥坚♥民族来说真的无关紧要
But it really doesn't matter to the American nation.
他们所关注的一切
All they know and all they want to focus on

he had his eye out for land that could also grow cotton.
这片土地最吸引人的地方之一
And one of the big attractions of the land

在接下来的两年里

杰克逊利用他的地位
Jackson uses his position
以低价购买♥♥大♥片♥土地

先生们

in what is now the Deep South to carve out brand-new plantations..

对于大卫·克洛科特来说，这违背了美国边疆的承诺

have now turned into cotton farms
而原来的定居者被推向一边
and the original settlers are being pushed aside.
克洛科特的主要议题之一是占地者的权利

他感到那些占地者，那些定居者
He felt that the squatters, the settlers
应当能以合理的价格购买♥♥他们赖以生存的土地
ought to be able to purchase the land they were living on for reasonable prices.
这就与有钱有地的南方种植园主起了摩擦

He became a symbol of possibility, of hope
普通人也能站得更高
that the common man could actually rise to great heights.
一个只受过六个月教育的人最终进入了国会
A man with six months' education ends up in the halls of Congress.
这是一个不寻常的美国故事

但由于他在新奥尔良战役中的胜利
But he became this national hero
他变成了民族英雄
as a result of his victory at the Battle of New Orleans.
人们开始告诉杰克逊
And people began telling him
他能够成为美国的总统
that he could be president of the United States.
在美国建国的头四十年里
For the first 40 years of America's existence
总统不是来自于马萨诸塞州
the president hailed from either Massachusetts
就是来自弗吉尼亚州
or Virginia.
但现在，越来越多的人涌入了边疆
But now as more and more people pour into the frontier
杰克逊相信这个国家已经准备好
Jackson believes the country is ready
迎接一场前所未有的变革
for an unprecedented change.
安德鲁·杰克逊刚刚掌权之时
Andrew Jackson rose to power just at a moment
人们刚刚意识到
when people were becoming conscious
革命一代正在逝去
that the revolutionary generation was passing away
新生代正在崛起
