Abstract:
The birthplace of Andrew Jackson has been claimed by both Carolinas. In 1957, South Carolina created the Andrew Jackson Historic Park that honors his birthplace, though North Carolina also claimed Jackson, since his mother birthed him when she went to a funeral inside the state. The historical argument is based on differing primary sources that have him born at Waxhaw, South Carolina or Twelve Miles Creek, North Carolina.

Abstract:
One of the most sensational and best known duels fought on American soil was that which took place between Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson on May 30, 1806. Dickinson was the aggressor, provoking Jackson with his disparaging remarks. Jackson responded with a challenge and the two men faced each other for a duel, Jackson perhaps winning due to the clever addition of a rule constricting the position of their firing arms.

Abstract:
Andrew Jackson's rise in politics in North Carolina was attributed to several factors: his legendary status as general, the desire of North Carolinians to come out of the shadow of Virginia's presidents, his vague stance on tariffs, and most particularly, his stance on internal improvements, where eastern and western portions of the state both supported internal improvement projects, an important factor in the formation of the People's Ticket.

Abstract:
President Andrew Jackson was raised in South Carolina; however his birthplace may have been North Carolina. Jackson’s parents settled near the North Carolina/South Carolina border and Jackson himself claimed he was born south of the border. The author uses oral histories and land tract data to argue that the McKemey household where Jackson was born fell within the North Carolina boundary in Mecklenberg County.
