This website offers me a brief history of Andrew Jackson’s life and his background before he became a president. It talks of how he was elected by popular vote more than any of his predecessors. Also it states that he was the first man elected by Tennessee to the House of Representatives.

From this website I got info on how our seventh president Andrew Jackson’s life before presidency and it’s a secondary source because they weren't there for any of these moments in his life and are just putting the pieces of history together.

Now this source gave me a lot on his background as a general and how he was referred to as "Old Hickory" as he shared his men hardships such as walking while the injured rode or how loyal he was to his troops and how he joined other Native American tribes to battle with him at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.
This site is legit to me because PBS is known for dabbling into American and World History. It offers videos Pictures of the events and it was a secondary source because no one was there to witness this.

This source speaks of Jackson's military skill in the battle of New Orleans and how by using carefully dug fortifications repelled the British troops who tried to invade and seal off as many passages as they could to stop surprise attacks.

To me this site adds a little more to my understanding of Jackson's views and how he operates in times of war and how by using wit sustains little casualties of war.
