He was also the worst enemy of native Americans and wanted to exterminate them all

Not just pay it down but paid it off and destroyed the second bank of the US in the process.

It took them till Lincoln to get a central bank back (roughly)

Many fiscal conservatives are sociopaths so something like that is to be expected.

He fought a war against them after seeing members of his family killed as a small child. No doubt his actions towards native americans were horrible but his overall legacy is one of being a Patriot and a great leader.

He was an interesting dude. The civil war could very well have broken out 20 years earlier if we'd had a weaker president. Then again, by the time he got done pissing off the central bank and causing a panic, everyone was too worried about the economy to poke each other with bayonets for awhile.
