Jackson served as delegate to Tenn. in the 1796 Constitutional convention and a congressman for a year (from 1796-97). He was elected senator in 1797, but financial problems forced him to resign and return to Tennessee in less than a year. Later he served as a Tennessee superior court judge for six years starting in 1798. In 1804 he retired from the bench and moved to Nashville and devoted time to business ventures and his plantation. At this time his political career looked over. In 1814 Jackson was a Major General in the Tennessee Militia, here he was ordered to march against the Creek Indians (who were pro-British in the war of 1812). His goal was achieved at Horseshoe Bend in March of 1814. Eventually he forced All Indians from the area. His victory's impressed some people in Washington and Jackson was put in command of the defense of New Orleans. This show of American strength made Americans feel proud after a war filled with military defeats. Jackson was given the nickname "Old Hickory", and was treated as a national hero.

The Second Bank of the United States was not made into an issue of his election in 1828 by Jackson. However he decided the bank, which is not a government bank, but chartered by it in 1826, had failed to provide a stable currency, and had favored the Northern states, and few loans were granted to the southern and western areas because they were a larger risk and the bank didn't see it in it's interest to make such a gamble with it's money. And in his mind the bank was in violation on the Constitution. Even though the bank's charter wasn't due to expire until 1836, Jackson's political enemies pushed a bill through congress granting the banks re-charter, Jackson vetoed the bill. The "Bank" issue was a major item in his re-election in 1832. In his second term Jackson decided to remove federal deposits from the bank into "pet banks" which virtually took away the power Nicholas Biddle's power as president of the Second National Bank, which left him and anti-Jackson people very upset with what they called the abuse of his powers. The increase in loans from the state chartered caused a land boom and gave the federal government a surplus (which it split up amongst the states), the increase in loans brought on the use of paper currency that was issued by the state banks, Jackson prohibited the use of paper money to by federal land or pay federal debts. This demand for coins called specie led to many bank failures in the Panic of 1837. I don't think he knew what he got himself into when he did this, and could of handled the situation a little better, but not all the blame should fall on his shoulders, because it wasn't his fault the private state-chartered banks
