It's important that we know where and how we came to be. For example we wouldn't really understand why you're a certain religion if we didn't know who settled the land and what happened. Not only that, but also a lot of things happened back then, a civil war, WWI and WWII, the Cold war, war of 1812, that made things what it is present day. Also history makes sure that we can honor people for freedom, such as Abe Lincoln who freed slaves. The point I'm making here is that history is a way to remember important events that have effected many things and many places and without keeping track of history (for example if we didn't keep track of the Constitution) we wouldn't have the somewhat peaceful society of today.
What Jackson meant by this quote is if one man stands up for what he believes in, many will follow because it is not that they do not believe in what they are following it is only because they are just too afraid to be the one to stand up.This also means that one man standing up for something he truly believes in is greater than many people standing up for something they don't. This idea influenced his leadership greatly because Andrew Jackson had qualities most Americans admired. He was a patriot, a self-made man, and a war hero and this quote adds to that by showing Americans what he truly believed in and in turn making people want to follow him.
