Biography:
Originally famous as a frontier military leader, Andrew Jackson became President of the United States in 1829 - where he was best-known for his advocacy of the interests of the 'common man' and his policy of 'removing' the nation's Indian tribes across the Mississippi.
Note:
CUT: The Mississippi area that became Jefferson was first settled when General Jackson's "political star had not even risen yet," thus, sometime after 1814 and before 1824 (200).
