Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson was the first president that came from the plain, common people themselves. In the War of 1812 he was the hero of the battle of New Orleans. He was safely born in the Carolinas in 1767. During the American Revolution Andrew Jackson fought bravely against the British who were enemies of the Americans. He was only 13 years old during the war. During the battle he was violently captured and made to shine an officer's boots. He refused to shine the boots because he disliked the British officer. Since he refused, the British officer quickly grabbed his sword, and gave Mr. Jackson a scar on his face. Because of that scar, Andrew Jackson disliked the British the rest of his days.
