Biographical History
Andrew Jackson, 7th President of the United States. Born on March 15, 1767 in the Waxhaw Settlement in South Carolina; though just a boy, participated in the battle of Hanging Rock during the Revolution, captured by the British and imprisoned. He worked for a time in a saddler's shop and afterward taught school before studying law in Salisbury, N.C. In 1788 he was appointed solicitor of the western district of North Carolina, comprising what is now the State of Tennessee. Upon the admission of Tennessee as a State into the Union Jackson was elected to Congresses.
In the military, Jackson served in the Creek War of 1813 as commander of Tennessee forces; his victory in the Creek War brought him a commission as major general in the United States Army in May 1814. This led to his army to victory over the British in the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815. He was elected as a Democrat as President of the United States in 1828 and reelected in 1832. He retired to his country home, the Hermitage, near Nashville, Tenn., where he died June 8, 1845.
Jackson is known for singing the Indian Removal Act in 1830. This act, which has been described as ethnic cleansing, displaced tens of thousands of Native Americans from their ancestral homelands east of the Mississippi and resulted in thousands of deaths.
