HOW DID ANDREW JACKSON EARN THE NICKNAME “OLD HICKORY”?

He was appointed the major general of the Tennessee militia in the War of 1812

February 1813 - He and his troops were sent to New Orleans for

a British invasion.

The invasion never transpired, so he was ordered back to Nashville (no one received pay).

First, he refused to disband.

Short on money and supplies, he walked along side of his men the entire 500 miles of wilderness back to Nashville.

His courage and determination earned him the nickname “Old Hickory” from his men.

EARNING THE NICKNAME “OLD HICKORY”

HOW DID ANDREW JACKSON BECOME A HERO? Andrew Jackson served in the American Revolutionary

War and the War of 1812 Now…in War of 1812, there were 2 large groups of Native

Andrew Jackson led his soldiers against Creeks In March 1814, Creeks lost an important battle in

Alabama (The Battle of Horseshoe Bend) & surrendered to Andrew Jackson As a result, Creeks had to give most of their land in Alabama &

Georgia to Americans in the East
