So, who WAS this dude? He was a man, born in the Carolinas on March 15, 1767 Was the son of Irish Immigrants and had very little formal schooling His Mother and 2 brothers died when The British invaded the Carolinas He studied law and went to the North Carolina bar in 1787 Became an attorney and moved to Nashville and married his wife, Rachel (Donelson) Robards.

Who was this dude pt. 2  He soon had enough money to be able to build a mansion and have slaves.  This was important because, you know, he didn’t have this kind of money before and decided to make it rain.  He was the first man from Tennessee to be elected into the House of Representatives. He also was immediately reelected to serve in the Senate  But he resigned a year later, so....  He became major general in the War of 1812 (also known at the battle against Great Britain)  He led them to victory in the Battle of New Orleans (January 1815)  This happened after the war was initially over and Jackson was declared a war hero  Because of this, Jackson gained a lot of popularity and it sparked the idea that he should run for office.

Jackson’s Political Life  Although it was suggested Jackson run for office, he initially had no interest in doing so.  But by 1824, his supporters had rallied and helped getting him a nomination, as well as a seat on the Senate.  Jackson won the popular vote in a 5- way race, but for the first time in history, none of the candidates won the electoral vote.  Jackson was in the top 3 House of Representatives candidates, but ultimately lost to Adams when Henry clay supported Adams, thus leading to his victory.

But WAIT!!  Jackson soon got his limelight as President 4 years later in an election that threw lots of shade towards Jackson.  This was due to the fact that many said Jackson had committed adultery with his wife Rachel since she had not been legally divorced when they tied the knot.  Sadly, Rachel soon passed away after Jackson’s victory which led Jackson to believe that the heinous amounts of shade thrown at his wife caused her early death.  He was the nation’s first frontier president and his election helped define turning points in American politics.  Many defined themselves as supporters of “Old Hickory”, a nickname given to Jackson because of his determination on the battlefield along with his willingness to suffer alongside his men.

Jackson as President  There was a major battle between 2 emerging political parties during the Bank of the United States crisis in 1832 and its charter expiration.  Jackson and his supporters opposed the bank, seeing it as a privileged institution and an enemy to the common people, meanwhile, the Whig Party led an argument to the Congress for its re-charter.  Although in July, Jackson vetoed the recharter anyway, because he could.  Even with this controversial veto, Jackson won reelection over Clay with 56% of the popular vote and 5x more electoral votes.

Jackson as President Cont’d.  Although Jackson was a supporter of States’ rights, he had a battle with the South Carolina legislative, in which they adopted the resolution that federal tariffs were null and void, prohibiting their enforcement within state boundaries.  They tried to urge Congress to lower tariffs, Jackson sought and obtained the rights to have armed federal forces in South Carolina to enforce federal laws.  South Carolina eventually backed down, and Jackson earned credit for preserving the Union.  Andrew Jackson gave no rule when Georgia took millions of acres of land that were supposed to go to the Cherokee Indians.  1835, Cherokees signed treaty to give up the land for territory west of Arkansas  Trail of Tears

Afterwards….  Jackson’s successor in the 1836 election was Martin Van Buren who beat Whig candidate William Henry Harrison  He left the White House more popular than he did when he went in  After leaving office, Jackson returned Hermitage, where he passed away on June 1845 (age 78)
