Andrew Jackson, one of the most famous figures in American history, rocketed to fame with his stunning victory at the Battle of New Orleans. His bold actions in Florida cemented him as one of the most prominent figures in forming the United States. Jackson, Florida’s first governor and eventually the seventh President of the United States, invaded Florida several times when Florida was Spanish territory.
