Andrew Jackson was born in 1767 near the border of North and South Carolina. His father died before he was born, and his mother and brothers died when Jackson was 15. This was during the American Revolution. Jackson was too young to join the army, but fought the British anyway. However, he was captured and put to work as a servant. When he refused to shine the boots of a British officer, his face was slashed.
After the war, Jackson returned to North Carolina to study law. He then moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to become a public prosecutor and quickly built up a law practice. He also developed his cotton plantation, The Hermitage. In 1891, he began a romance with a married woman, Rachel Robards. Although they eventually married, the scandal followed Jackson throughout his career. In fact, Jackson fought a duel with a man who was rude about his wife and killed him.
Jackson entered politics and eventually gained a seat in the U.S. Senate. However, he did not like Washington, D.C., so returned to Tennessee. There, he was elected major general of the Tennessee militia. In 1814, Jackson’s troops and their American Indian allies defeated the Creek nation in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. Jackson then negotiated a treaty to end the war. This treaty required the American Indians, including his allies, to give up almost half of their land.
Jackson was made a United States major general. He went to New Orleans and fought the British there. The Battle of New Orleans in 1815 was a tremendous victory for Jackson. It sealed his place as a war hero and brought him great popularity.
In 1824, Jackson sought to replace James Monroe as President, but lost. In 1828, Jackson ran again and won. As President, Jackson fired many people and replaced them with members of his Democratic Party. Jackson believed in westward expansion. To achieve this goal, he pushed for the Indian Removal Act in 1830. By the end of his second term, 45,000 American Indians had been removed from their lands. Jackson also made many enemies, vetoing laws passed by Congress and using any means to get what he wanted. Newspaper cartoonists dubbed him “King Andrew I.”
However, his presidency is also known as the “Age of Jackson.” During this time, the common citizen began to feel more empowered because property requirements for voting were dropped in many states. Jackson, a self-made frontiersman, was very different from the polished, aristocratic founders of the previous generation.
In 1835, an unemployed house painter attempted to kill President Jackson. The President wrestled him to the ground and was not wounded. This was the first assassination attempt on a U.S. President. After his second term, in 1837, Jackson returned to Nashville, and died there in 1845.
