Hero Of New Orleans

    On January 8, the day commemerated as the victory day of the Battle of New Orleans there were many losses. The British had two generals killed in battle and one severly wounded. Soldiers described battle field action as confused and hazardous, in the dark hours of  that foggy morning. The British suffered over 2,000 casualties where Jackson only lost 71 men. The British Privates that American Patriots faced that morning were the same ones that had defeated Napoleon. The British forces withdrew through a lake and head out onto the Gulf. After a few days of firing on Ft. St. Phillip they left never to be seen again. Jackson was the hero of that battle because of his constant encouragement and bravery. he kept his men shooting through the hard parts of that battle and would be able to kept this nation going through hard times if they arise.

Jackson's Early Life

As a child Jackson was born on the border of North and South Carolina. At the age of 14 he lost his mother to cholera. She was nursing American soldiers held by the British back to health. His father died before he was born. Jackson was now an orphan. At the age of 13 he was in the army and was captured by the British at the Battle of Hanging Rock. When one of the British officers demanded that Andrew clean his boots Jackson refused. As a punishment he struck Jackson over the head with his saber, leaving scars for life.

Finally a President for the People

                                                                                         

 

        Every once in a while there comes along a president who is a great leader, knows his politics, and is a regular guy. A guy with humble beginnings, who has taken many hardships in life, and is a war hero. That guy is ANDREW JACKSON! Andrew Jackson is an ordinary guy. Jackson lost a brother in the Revolutionary War and when the British struck again in 1812, he went off to fight. He was the hero of the Battle of New Orleans and was a confident leader too. He inspired his men to give it everything they had. Jackson is a people person. Since he was once poor he knows what it is like to be hungry or work hard to get paid minimal amounts. Jackson is nothing like those rich prats Adams or Clay. They are waited on head and foot. They will only favor the rich. Andrew Jackson is for the common man. So Vote for Jackson!
