Andrew Jackson grew up in the region around Raleigh, NC and later moved to Nashville, TN (so both states tend to claim him although he was living in TN when he became President). Those are eastern states, but they are more traditionally identified as "the South," so I suspect your question would be answered "south," particularly as the country was typically stratified as "north" or "south" at that time. ("East" and "west" tended to refer more to matters of territorial expansion at that time in our history.)
