Andrew Jackson, 7th U. S. President

Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 - June 8, 1845) was the seventh President of the United States (1829-37). He 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. He supported a small and limited federal government. He strengthened the power of the presidency, which he saw as spokesman for the entire population. Jackson was nicknamed "Old Hickory" because of his toughness and aggressive personality; he fought in duels, some fatal to his opponents. He died in 1845, at the age of 78, of chronic tuberculosis, dropsy, and heart failure. His portrait appears on the US $20 dollar bill.
