I was discussing the movie, "The Last Samurai" with a co-worker the other day. He wanted to know what I thought about it, and I told him that it was a good piece of fiction, but that I wouldn't recommend it due to the fact that it inaccurately injects America into a historical event that it had nothing to do with. While I'm telling him what I think, another one of my co-workers is standing behind me and decides to challenge me. He goes on to say that America was involved and did help train the Japanese military and that somehow Andrew Jackson was involved. He goes on to patronize me, telling me that Jackson was one of our presidents. This urked me and I just ignored him. I've been doing some research and I can't seem to find any mention of Jackson ever being involved in Japan's history.
