| | Welcome to The American Presidency |
| | Andrew Jackson was born at a settlement on the banks of Crawford's Branch of Waxhaw Creek in South Carolina on March 15, 1767, the third son of immigrant parents from northern Ireland, Andrew Jackson and Elizabeth Hutchinson. | | | Jackson was duly nominated for the presidency by the Tennessee legislature in July 1823. | | | Jackson's administrations were highlighted by the frustration of sectional attempts to weaken the central government by state nullification of federal law, and by the President's confrontation with the Bank of the United States. |

| | After helping to draft the Tennessee constitution in 1796, Jackson was elected the state’s first congressman, serving one year in the U.S. House of Representatives and then for a year in the U.S. Senate. | | | Jackson received a plurality of electoral votes, but in the absence of a majority, the names of the three leading vote-getters were placed before the House in accordance with the provisions of the U.S. Constitution. | | | Finally, in perhaps the most significant act of his first administration, Jackson told the nation that his veto on July 10, 1832, of the bill to recharter the Second Bank of the United States was a blow against monopoly, aristocratic parasites, and foreign domination and a great victory for honest labor. |

| | Reason: Not the Same Old Hickory: The contested legacy of Andrew Jackson |
| | Jackson’s individual style, from his avid personal campaigning to his presidential use of an advisory "kitchen cabinet," is now considered the trademark of a larger-than-life figure who embodied the will of the nation. | | | The reigning biography on Jackson remains Robert V. Remini’s trilogy -- Andrew Jackson and the Course of American Empire, 1767-1821; Andrew Jackson and the Course of American Freedom, 1822-1832; and Andrew Jackson and the Course of American Democracy, 1833-1845 -- published between 1977 and 1984. | | | The image of Jackson that emerges from Old Hickory’s War and The Passions of Andrew Jackson is both compelling and, on the whole, convincing. |

| | Andrew Jackson |
| | As national politics polarized around Jackson and his opposition, two parties grew out of the old Republican Party--the Democratic Republicans, or Democrats, adhering to Jackson; and the National Republicans, or Whigs, opposing him. | | | Hostile cartoonists portrayed him as King Andrew I. Behind their accusations lay the fact that Jackson, unlike previous Presidents, did not defer to Congress in policy-making but used his power of the veto and his party leadership to assume command. | | | Biography: More nearly than any of his predecessors, Andrew Jackson was elected by popular vote; as President he sought to act as the direct representative of the common man. |
