Question

Andrew Jackson's actions from the revolutionary war

Answer 1

When the American Revolution broke out, Jackson and his brothers leapt at the chance to fight the British. Jackson's mother had regaled her sons with stories of the battle for freedom in their native Ireland, including tales of how Jackson's grandfather had fought against the British in Ireland and participated in the siege of Carrickfergus. For Jackson's family, fighting the British was more of a personal affair than a political one.
