Andrew Jackson man of the prople?
Andrew Jackson was a man of the white people. He was prejudiced against Indians because of an Indian attack from his childhood, and it was during his presidency that the Cherokee were betrayed and sent on the infamous "Trail of Tears." In the politically correct 1990's there were some who demanded Jackson's removal from the $20 bill. Jackson was a great general and an American hero, but he was a highly flawed hero. He lacked the education and elitist background of previous US Presidents, which made common people identify with him, but his administration proved to be corrupt nonetheless.

How did jacksons background differ from all the president before him?
Andrew Jackson was the only president (up until then) to have not gone through formal schooling. This was one of the many things that his party, the Democratic-Republican Party, advertised to the voters. His nickname, "Old Hickory" emphasized his common background. His party often mentioned how he was born in a log cabin, and his rags-to-riches background was largely retold. Born to a poor family, his parents died when he was thirteen. Jackson managed to climb the social ladder when he became licensed to practice law at the age of twenty-one, and then married into a rich family. So basically, although Jackson was actually quite well-off by the time he ran for president, he still had a 'common man' background (unlike the wealthy born gentlemen of previous presidents) that upped his popularity, and his vote count.
