Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States of America. He was elected President in 1828 and again in 1832. Prior to becoming President he had been a lawyer, professional gambler, cock-fight promoter, slave-trader, pioneer and Indian-killer, and cotton plantation operator in Tennessee. He became famous during the War of 1812 after his troops won the Battle of New Orleans. He was the first President to be elected from the Democratic Party.
