Jackson was the first president to come from a state other than the original 13 (he was from Tennessee) and was a military leader before becoming president. Jackson was an ordinary man with little education compared to the presidents who preceded him. He was a general known for fighting aggressively with anyone willing to fight with him. He had been in numerous bar fights and duels. Jackson related to the common man and argued the government had become to centralized and the people had lost their voice. He pushed for states' rights and a descaled federal government.
