Andrew Jackson's Personal Opinion

214 Words1 Page

My opinion on Andrew Jackson is that he was a brave man, great spokesmen, and he was intelligent. Jackson had a great military success along with a knowledgeable success in the law field and in time leading up to presidency. People know Jackson from leading his army and defeating the British, along with becoming a great and honorable leader. Jackson went to Military school when he was only a young 13 year old boy. His mother was a widow leaving him to do a lot of chores and responsibility to him. His brother Huge joined the military alongside of Andrew and they went into battle together as a courier in the Revolutionary War. Both Jackson and Huge were soon later captured by the British. While Huge caught wind of the fatal disease

    While reading the book, Andrew Jackson, it shows different sides of him. I believe the author wrote this book for a great reason, which was to explain Andrews Jacksons struggles and courageous movements. I believe during Andrew Jacksons younger years that he had a troubled childhood which explained his outrageous behavior he had at times. I also believe Andrew Jackson was hard headed during his more mature years and people either liked him or they did not like him at all. Although Andrew Jackson had a troubled childhood the author makes it very clear that, he made something out of his life by becoming president, by being the leader of battles, and the Indian Removal Act.
