Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Andrew Jackson’s Early Life The son of Irish immigrants, Jackson received little formal schooling. The British invaded the Carolinas in 1780-1781, and Jackson’s mother and two brothers died during the conflict, leaving him with a lifelong hostility toward Great Britain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Andrew was ordered to clean the boots of a British officer. Brash even as a 13 year old, Andrew refused. The officer slashed at the youth with a sword, leaving Jackson with scars on his left hand and head. Many a Jackson biographer has speculated, probably correctly, that this spawned his intense hatred of the British.

Detailed explanation-3: -He indulged in violent hatreds, and the extent to which his political positions reflected mere personal animus is still debated. Jackson demonized many of those who crossed him, including John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay, Bank of the United States president Nicholas Biddle, and Cherokee Indian chief John Ross.

Detailed explanation-4: -He was the first man elected from Tennessee to the House of Representatives, and he served briefly in the Senate. A major general in the War of 1812, Jackson became a national hero when he defeated the British at New Orleans.
