Jackson led a contingent of Tennessee and Kentucky sharpshooters who routed over 2,000 British troops in the [[Battle of New Orleans]]. This occurred shortly after a peace treaty had been signed by both America and Great Britain but before the news of peace had reached them. It was a great victory for Jackson and became source of enormous pride to the American public.

His military success gave him tremendous popularity with the common man, and he ran for President in 1824. He won the [[popular vote]] but the election went into the House of Representatives, where they chose [[John Quincey Adams]] instead. At the next election in 1828 Jackson defeated John Quincey Adams, and then won reelection in 1832. Always lucky in surviving numerous brushes with death, Jackson survived an assassination attempt in January 1835 when a deranged man fired two pistols at him at point blank range in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol.<ref>http://www.amerisearch.net/index.php?date=2004-03-25&view=View</ref>
