= Andrew Jackson was born march 15th 1767 and died june 8th 1845. Andrew was born in the backwoods settlement of the carolinas. In his late teens he became a succesful lawyer he was a lawayer from 1783 to about 1795. Jackson was then nominated the only person to be elected be part of the house of representatives, he served as a senate for a little while then moved on to a bigger and tougher job he became a General of the U.S. military. Jackson biggest succes was probably the battle of New Orleans in 1812. Jackson defeated the british and was now a war hero at this point, this victory that Jackson brought to America led to a high point in American moral all around, the United States now thought that america would respect american nutrality and accept that american was no longer a colony. Another one of Jacksons and succes and one of the most important was when he bacame the 7th presidant of America. Jacksons presidancy led to 2 new political partys called the Democrats and the National Republicans. But one sort of failure/protest was when a second bank was recomended but Jackson was hostile about it and they threw the banks power right at him. Another sort of act that Jackson was sort of frowned upon by was when South Carolina undertook to nullify the tarrif Jackson sent and army to threaten them and so the tarrifs were lowered. President/General Andrew Jackson was one of the greatest American Generals of all time but not so much to say for his presidancy (his presidancy was no spectacular compared to his years as a Genral, but he certainly was not the worst of the presidants thats for sure...). Andrew Jackson died on june 18th 1845 when he retired to hermitage after making his freind van buren vice presidant, Andrew Jackson lived a good and honorable life....in retirement. =
