Jackson, Andrew
Jackson, Andrew (1767–1845) Seventh US president (1829–37). Jackson became a national hero in the
War of 1812 when he defeated the British at New Orleans (1815). Jackson's popular appeal narrowly failed to defeat John Quincy
Adams in the 1824 presidential election. His supporters built the basis of the new
Democratic Party and Jackson was elected with John C.
Calhoun as his vice president in 1828. Jackson faced staunch opposition from the establishment and set up a
spoils system of political appointments. Calhoun resigned over the
nullification issue, and Jackson faced further conflict over
states' rights, the expansion of the
frontier and the tariff. His second term (1832–37) was marked by his trenchant opposition to the
Bank of the United States.
