==Synopsis==
The show opens when the cast, dressed as 19th-century American cowboys and prostitutes, take the stage. They are led by [[Andrew Jackson]]. They sing about their eagerness to strip the English, Spanish, French, and, most importantly, the [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]], of their land in the [[United States|US]]. Along with this, they sing of the desire to bring political power back to the public and away from the elite ("Populism Yea Yea").
Jackson's childhood is shown in the [[Tennessee]] hills during the late 18th century. His family and the local shoe cobbler die of cholera and in Indian attacks. This leads him to join the military, where he is imprisoned by the British. Jackson begins to express his disdain for the US government’s lack of involvement with the people of the frontier and how he wishes someone would stand up to them ("I'm Not That Guy").
