Andrew Jackson never backed down from a fight. Even in his youth, he fought in the American Revolution and, years later, won a great victory for the United States during the War of 1812. As the seventh president, he fought to allow more people, regardless of their wealth, to be able to vote, thereby making the American republic a more democratic place than before.
