== History ==

Jackson rose to martial prominence through the [[UnitedStates/RedEagle|Red Stick War]]. He negotiated the terms of the '''Treaty of Ft. Jackson''', invaded [[UnitedStates/Florida#Spanish_Florida|Pensacola]], and repelled a British invasion at [[UnitedStates/NewOrleans|New Orleans]] in December 1814. (After the '''Treaty of Ghent''' had been signed but before news had reached the front.)

Jackson remained a nationalist and agitator in the South. He organized the removal of many [[UnitedStates/Creek|Creek]] and [[UnitedStates/Cherokee|Cherokee]] tribes. He ordered the re-invasion of Spanish Florida in July 1816 to demolish the '''Negro Fort'''. In late 1817, he re-invaded again with intent to seize the colony. (This annexation would be officiated in the '''Adams-Onis Treaty''' in 1819.)

== Policies ==

Jackson's trade policies leaned towards protectionism. While the [[UnitedStates/EconomicPolicy/TariffsOf1816Through1833|Tariff of 1828]] was passed under and signed into law by [[UnitedStates/JohnQuincyAdams|Adams]], Jackson did not try to repeal or reform it. Rather, he escalated the '''nullification crisis'''.
