Andrew Jackson was an American lawyer, planter, general, and statesman who served as the seventh president of the United States from 1829 to 1837. Prior to his presidency, he gained recognition as a general in the U.S. Army and held roles in both houses of Congress. While he is often celebrated as a champion of the common man and a unifier of the nation, Jackson has also faced significant criticism for his racial policies, particularly in his treatment of Native Americans.
