The official vocation of farmer, in the US, is not a particularly hard laborer struggling for housing or food or healthcare. They are a property owner and employer dramatically underpaying the people who are actually dirt poor, particularly the labor underclass of immigrants. Accordingly they are frequently white supremacists.
But what is happening to them is that large companies are buying them out when "times get tough", where the big company can weather financial storms more easily than individual "farmers" and can dictate things like prices via monopsony power, including dominating consortia that literally set prices if you want to sell certain crops through normal channels.
This is basically the story of scammy petty bourgeois car dealerships getting bought out by big companies. I am not particularly sympathetic to the small business tyrants that internalize their business failure so extremely. They knowingly hurt hundreds of people if not more during their "careers" and live off others' labor.
Nope. Jackson was old and feeble and required someone to walk him to and from the funeral. The crowd, including Davey Crockett, restrained the assassin, who was found not guilty because he had incredible delusions. Jackson himself, old and confused, immediately claimed it was the political opposition come to get him and waved his walking stick around trying to hit the already-subdued man.
Jackson was a cruel racist settler colonist who only punched down. He was not personally particularly physically threatening and most of his "deeds" were done after age 45. The idea that Jackson was at all physically imposing is just Americans making things up because they have no respectable history. And those myths became rumors and common knowledge and then get repeated with veneration - e.g. I would suspect your knowledge of the cheese wheel comes, in some way or another, from a West Wing episode.
