Jackson was a two-term President and won a plurality of popular and electoral votes in 1824, but did not get the required majority , so the House chose the President and they elected J.Q. Adams. Jackson was also famous for winning the Battle of New Orleans against the British and pretty much ending any Indian threat in the South.
