Andrew Jackson – 145

Andrew Jackson was the President of the United States from 1829-1837, which means he only served for one term. Do you recognize him from somewhere? Perhaps it’s because his face is on the twenty dollar bill. Many find it ironic that his face is on a bill, as he was a big opponent of the creation of paper bills and wanted all currency to be coins instead. When he was 13 years old, he was held as a prisoner of war in the American Revolutionary War. During his presidency Andrew Jackson not only prevented the secession of South Carolina, but he also managed to pay off all of the United States’ debt at that time.
