After achieving national prominence as the hero at the battle of New Orleans, except

for a few months as governor of Florida, he retired to his plantation in Nashville. However,

he had learned a lot about how the federal government operated under the current

administration and he saw widespread corruption, so he wrote letters and opinion pieces

for newspapers. A lot of people agreed with him and before long, people were proposing

him for President. Eventually he was drafted as a candidate and agreed to allow his name

to be placed on the ballot in 1824.

(He had been involved in state and local politics from his youth, having served as a

public prosecutor, state supreme court justice, member of the Tennessee constitutional

convention and the state's first congressman, later moving up to senator.
