What led Andrew Jackson to become a historical figure?

Probably the main incident that most affected Andrew Jackson happened during the American Revolutionary War. Andrew was a Prisoner of war captured after the Battle of Hanging Rock. That was the westernmost British fort in South Carolina. In that area, a number of Cherokee indians fought on the side of the British. One historical sign in the area refers to a Cherokee General Tsali. A British Lieutenant ordered Andrew's brother to polish his boots. His brother replied, "I am a Prisoner of War and not a man servant." The Lieutenant then took out his sword and killed Andrew's brother. Next he ordered Andrew to polish his boots. Andrew gave the same reply. The Lieutenant struck Andrew with his sword but did not kill him. From that moment on Andrew was driven to oppose the British and the Indians. That experience seems to have been the driving experience behind the rest of Andrew's life.
