Best Answer

Both were victorious in battles against Indians.

Jackson went on to rout the British and gain a great victory which was important to the American psyche, at New Orleans.

Harrison was chosen by the Whigs, as a sort of duplicate of Jackson. Although he was really from the old aristocracy of Virginia, he lived in the west and had one notable victory over Tecumseh at Tippecanoe. He also had served as a territorial governor and had no political baggage to overcome, since he had never served as a elected official, (except as the clerk of a county court.)
