Andrew Jackson (Britain Keeps America)

Andrew Jackson a British army officer and first Prime Minister of Louisiana.

He first saw military service in the Ohio, and later climbed to ranks to become a General. He then led the British attack on French New Orleans during the Napoleonic Wars during the Lousiana Adventure in 1806. He led the British to conquer several regions of the Mississippi, which asserted his fame and dominance in Louisiana. In 1810 during the formation of the Louisiana colony, Jackson was chosen to become Governor.

Nicknamed "Old Hickory" because of his toughness and agressiveness, he led Louisiana in several wars with the Native Americans in the following years. He provided materials for Daniel Boone's famous travels through western Louisiana. Jackson stood up for Texan patriots and defeated Mexico in the Mexican War, and conquered new territory for the colony. In 1838 he resigned from his position as governor.

Today he is regarded as one of the Founding Fathers of Louisiana.
