Andrew Jackson was born March 15, 1767, in the Waxhaws region between
North Carolina and South Carolina. He was a lawyer and landowner best
know for his military victory over the British at New Orleans in the War of
1812. Elected as the 7th president in 1828, he was known as the "people's
president". He founded the democratic party and is a supporter of
individual liberty. He died on June 8, 1845.
Inauguration
On March 04, 1829, Andrew Jackson took the oath of office and became the seventh
President of the United States. Inauguration of Jackson has become a part of the
American political tradition, because thousands of people participated in the
ceremonies. The lasting images of the inauguration have made a staple in the stories
of the American Presidency as well as the stories of Andrew Jackson and his time.
Jackson's inaugural address was the first that took place at the East portico of the
Capitol in Washington. This site was selected for the thousands of people who had
traveled to Washington, D.C., to witness the inauguration. Public admiration greeted
Jackson before the ceremony began, and thousands crowded around him when he
left his hotel to walk to the Capitol. Jackson played the role of a hero of the
democratic, as he wore a plain black suit and no hat. His high figure and gray hair
made him easily visible to the crowd. Somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 people
were present when Jackson made his inaugural speech and took the oath of office.
Before and after the ceremony, Jackson bowed to the people, a symbolic gesture that
was the exact opposite of a monarchy, where people bowed before the King or
Queen. His speech was brief, only 10 minutes long. But in the address, he reaffirmed
many of the promises that he and his supporters had made during the campaign. He
stated that he would work against corruption and to reform. He promised to put an
end to the national debt and keep small the size of Government.
