Andrew Jackson, born in 1767, attained the rank of major
general. Through his military exploits during the war of 1812,
Jackson was nicknamed "Old Hickory." His victory in the Battle of
New Orleans helped launch his political career. Although Senator
Jackson won the most electoral votes in the 1824 presidential
election, the race was thrown in the House of Representatives where
John Quincy Adams prevailed. Four years later he defeated Adams and
became the seventh president of the United States. He was the first
to be a target of a presidential assassin. With the turmoil of the
times, Jackson was confronted with sectional politics,nullification
threats, and the responsibility of removing Native Americans from
their ancestral homes. Jackson died in 1845.
This new volume on the Andrew Jackson presidency will
cover:
-- Economic development
