Jackson was a frontier child. His parents were Scottish immigrants and farmed. Jackson's father and brother died in the Revolution so he became the man of the family in his early teens. Because of his location on the frontier schooling wasn't considered that important. Often frontier children were taught at home how to read and write. If there were 50 households a school was formed. The school day was in the early morning so the children could get home to help the family with chores by midafternoon. Most children didn't go beyond the 6 grade and were too busy helping the family. Often teen boys were sent to do work for other farms and the parents collected their pay. This was legal until they were 21. Jackson grew up hard and was known as the "frontier president ." This was one reason he was elected because he presented himself as a man of the people.
