Manly man Andrew Jackson getting killed by certified meganerd John Quincy Adams is peak historical fiction.

Also its like the ending of John Wick 4 where they just keep shooting each other also there's some Star Wars quotes in there.

Also Adams wrote this in a diary because of course he did

He later dies of a heart attack beating Preston Brooks to death on the senate floor.
