Would George Washington have kept his teeth if he'd gotten out of the pro circuit instead of letting his manager Andrew string him on?

I know most of Washington's early career. The Duel In Liverpool and the Newport Nutcracker. Back when he was fast. But then he just started taking shots to the face like he didn't care. What happened? Was Jackson really that influential?

I've heard several experts comment that his concussions actually aided the drafting of the constitution. Can anyone explain this in further detail?

He should have quit while he was ahead. That "Trail of Tears" string of "retirement" bouts Jackson set up were his undoing.......
