His victory in the Battle of New Orleans helped launch his political career. Although Senator Jackson won the most electoral votes in the 1824 presidential election, the race was thrown in the House of Representatives where John Quincy Adams prevailed. Four years later he defeated Adams and became the seventh president of the United States. He was the first to be a target of a presidential assassin. With the turmoil of the times, Jackson was confronted with sectional politics,nullification threats, and the responsibility of removing Native Americans from their ancestral homes.
