Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, was a towering figure whose personal experiences shaped his political ideologies. Growing up amid conflict and hardship, including his youth in the Carolinas during the American Revolution, Jackson developed a resolute belief in the common man's right to participate in government.
