Andrew Jackson
Andrew Jackson was the President of the United States for a single term. He held the position from 1829 to 1837. We won’t be surprised to hear that you recognize him from the 20 dollar bill! Isn’t it fascinating to learn that he opposed the creation of paper money and advocated for silver and gold coins instead? At 13 years old, he was the captive of the British in the Revolutionary War. That’s right – this makes him the only President to have once been a prisoner of war. Among other things, he managed to prevent the secession of South Carolina and paid off all the national debt during his term.

Andrew Jackson’s Inauguration Party
There was some charm about President Andrew Jackson that made the public feel like he was one of them. After he concluded his inauguration speech, he and his party moved to the executive mansion to start the celebrations, but things went awry. A massive crowd followed the group and stormed the mansion. hey drank copious amounts of alcohol, ransacked the kitchen, dirtied the venue and made a ruckus. They were eventually dispersed when the alcohol was moved outside.
