Andrew Jackson defied Congress's orders to disband his militia by leveraging public support and the political climate of the time. He argued that the national interest and the security of the nation justified keeping his troops mobilized, especially in the context of ongoing threats. Ultimately, he managed to negotiate a return home for his soldiers while maintaining their loyalty and bolstering his own political standing.
