Andrew Jackson, born in the Waxhaws region around 1767, faced early adversity as his mother and two brothers died during the Revolutionary War. After enduring a violent encounter with a British officer, he became a teacher and lawyer in Salisbury, NC. His military career flourished as he emerged as a war hero during the War of 1812, particularly noted for his leadership in the Battle of New Orleans. Jackson also played a key role in the First Seminole War in 1818, establishing himself as a significant figure in early American history.
