Andrew Jackson was born in a log cabin on the border of North and South Carolina. While trying to help the war at the age of 13, he was captured by the British. Later he was rescued by his mother. Though he was an orphan by 14, he was a very strong young man. He survived smallpox when he was very young, and then severe gunshot wounds as an adult. He then became an extraordinary lawyer in Tennessee. As well as a landowner, and a judge. Plus he married to Rachel Donelson Jackson, and even said, "Heaven will be no heaven to me if I do not meet my wife there." Clearly, this is the kind of backround our next president needs?
