'''Andrew Jackson''' (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845) was the seventh [[president of the United States of America]], elected as a hero after his military triumphs over the Creek Indians of the Southeast and the [[British]] at [[New Orleans]] in 1815. As president (1829–1837), he destroyed the Bank of the [[United States]], ethnically cleansed the remaining southeastern Natives, and built a new political coalition, the [[Democratic Party]]. A self-made man, Indian slaughterer, war hero and a fighter (and duelist) who believed in action instead of words, he was long an iconic [[Democrat]] folk hero.
