After a reckless youth of gunfights, gambling, and general mischief, he rose to national fame as the general who defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJackson ran for president as a political outsider, championing the interest of common farmers and frontiersmen. Determined to take down the wealthy, well-educated East Coast \"elites,\" he pledged to destroy the national bank--which he believed was an engine of corruption serving the interest of bankers and industrialists. A staunch nationalist, he sought to secure and expand the nation's borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Believing that \"we the people\" included white men only, he protected the practice of slavery, and opened new lands for white settlers by pushing the Native people westward.
