Question

What did Andrew Jackson do in Florida? What happened because of Andrew Jackson's action?

Answer 1

After the Battle of New Orleans, Jackson lifted martial law and took his army back to Tennessee. The residents of New Orleans, while grateful for his service, still chafed about their treatment during the siege and battle. A judge fined Jackson $1,000 for slandering another judge during the siege. Jackson indignantly paid the fine–twenty years later, he gleefully accepted a gift from Congress of the $1,000 plus interest. Meanwhile, back home, Jackson declared the Hermitage the official army headquarters for the District, allowing him to work from home. People around the United States were generally much more grateful to Jackson than the people of New Orleans were, and Jackson soon began touring the country in style, accepting the accolades of a thankful nation.
