AAAJJJAndrew Jackson had a long life. He made various decisions in his life that influenced him to become President of the United States. Early in his life, Aj was born into a poor Irish Immigrant family, on March 15th, 1767. As a child Aj attended a good school and his mother had hopes for him to become a  Presbyterian Minister.” When he was thirteen, Jackson and his brothers joined the patriotic cause and volunteered to fight the British. His oldest brother Hugh died of heat stroke following the Battle of Stono Ferry in 1779. ” “In 1781, Jackson and his brother Robert were captured. After their capture, a British officer slashed Jackson with his sword because he refused to polish his boots. He and his brother Robert were taken prisoner-of-war and both contracted smallpox in prison.” Jackson finally recovered, but his brther died. After he recovered, his mother nursed the sick in the war! She caught cholera an died. This left jackson as an orphan. Jackson decided to do something important with his life, so he became an attorney. Jackson purchased his 1st african american slave named nancy in 1788.

Analizing our opinions on Andrew Jackson bec0ming President:  Andrew saw many of his loved ones die, so since he saw and felt the feeling of sorrow and lonleyness, he can relate to the people of his country that are dying. He majored in law, and ran for president. Now he has a scence of what law & government does and he can relate to his country.
