Jackson grew up on the Carolina frontier. He was poor, but tough and determined. As a young man, Jackson took the Wilderness Trail to Tenessee. In Tenessee, he was a succesful lawyer, politician, and a business owner. He became the first President of the U.S that was born and raised on the frontier. He was also the first President to be poor. During his election, the only voters in 1812 were white men who owned land and were rich. Andrew Jackson didn't like that law, so he change it to men could only vote. The women and the African Americans could not vote at the time. After his election, people began to move south and west of the origional states. Bibliography: http://www.go.grolier.com Houghton Mifflin Social Studies United States History book
