Jackson became a national hero in the War of 1812 with his great victory at New Orleans. Before that he served as leader in wars with Indians and led the army into Spanish Florida to stop raids into the US by escaped slaves and Indians who lived there. This military action eventually led to the US annexation of Florida.
In peace time he was a lawyer and a judge for many years including a term in the state Supreme Court and US Senator from Tennessee on two occasions as well as serving in the lower House. He also owned and operated a store for awhile, bought and sold land and ran his plantation with slave labor.
