Jacksons life
_Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8,
1845) was the seventh President of the United States (1829–1837). Based
in frontier Tennessee, Jackson was a politician and army general who
defeated the Creek Indians at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend (1814), and
the British at the Battle of New Orleans (1815). A polarizing figure who
dominated the Second Party System in the 1820s and 1830s, as president
he destroyed the national bank and relocated most Indian tribes from the
Southeast to west of the Mississippi River. His enthusiastic followers
created the modern Democratic Party. The 1830-1850 period later became
known as the era of Jacksonian democracy.
