Josh: 我对安德鲁·杰克逊的就职典礼很感兴趣,因为有传言说当时人们把白宫都给拆了。虽然杰克逊是一位民粹主义总统,受到民众的爱戴,但历史学家对当时的混乱程度存在争议。玛格丽特·贝尔德·史密斯对当时的场面进行了夸大,她不喜欢杰克逊和他的支持者,认为他们不属于华盛顿。她描述了人们为了抢潘趣酒和蛋糕而互相推搡的场景,就像黑色星期五的促销活动一样。但其他目击者,如丹尼尔·韦伯斯特,并没有提到类似的混乱场面。因此,我认为玛格丽特·史密斯的描述可能存在偏见,当时的真实情况可能没有她说的那么糟糕。 Chuck: 我同意Josh的观点,玛格丽特·史密斯的描述可能存在夸大。虽然她提到了一些疯狂的事情,比如流血和玻璃器皿被打碎,但丹尼尔·韦伯斯特并没有提到类似的混乱场面。韦伯斯特只是说,很多人从远方赶来见杰克逊,认为他拯救了国家。我认为,韦伯斯特的描述可能更可靠。虽然当时的场面可能有点疯狂,但可能没有玛格丽特·史密斯说的那么糟糕。也许有人站在桌椅上看得更清楚,或者有人把桌子弄坏了,但可能没有到“拆了白宫”的程度。
