Andrew Jackson | Facts, Biography, & Accomplishments | Britannica

Future seventh president of the United States, Andrew Jackson 
was born in a backwoods region between North and South
Carolina to Irish immigrant parents on March 15, 1767.
 

Jackson was essentially an orphan—all but one member of
his family were killed during the Revolutionary War—who
rose from humble beginnings to become a celebrated military
hero and one of the nation’s most influential presidents.

After serving two consecutive terms as president, Jackson
retired to his Tennessee estate, The Hermitage, and died at
age 78.

This colorful and controversial president is pictured on the
$20 bill and was briefly immortalized on the Confederate
$1,000 bill.
