∙ 11y agoJackson gained national attention as a war hero by his overwhelming victory in the Battle of New Orleans. The US did not have many victories in the war of 1812 and so was looking for a hero . Jackson capitalized on his success by visiting Washington soon afterward and meeting the important people there.
After he lost to Adams in 1824 he became a US Senator and more of an insider and developed a political party organization. He instigated support from newspaper editors who essentially ran a Jackson campaign for the next four years
by attacking the current Adams administration as well as supporting Jackson.
Besides being a war hero. Andrew Jackson led the movement of the "common man" and derived much support from Westerners and those pushing for westward expansion. He also gained support from Southerners as a slaveholder and a sympathizer to slavery supporters.
