Seventh President (1829-1837)
Andrew Jackson (1767 - 1845) was the seventh President of the United States, serving from 1829 to 1837. Born in the Carolinas, Jackson became a national hero for his role in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. A populist and military leader, he was known for his fierce policies, including the controversial Indian Removal Act, which led to the forced relocation of Native American tribes. Jackson's presidency marked the rise of the Democratic Party, and his tenure was characterized by his strong opposition to the national bank and his advocacy for the common man. Despite his divisive policies, Jackson remains a significant and polarizing figure in American history.
