EDITORS COMMENTS
Andrew Jackson: A Hero of the Old South, immortalized in Bronze in New Orleans' Jackson Square Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), the seventh President of the United States, is depicted in this stunning equestrian statue in Jackson Square, New Orleans, Louisiana. The statue, sculpted by Clark Mills (1810-1883) in 1856, stands as a testament to Jackson's military and political legacy. Born in the Carolinas in 1767, Jackson rose to prominence as a general in the U.S. Army, leading American forces to victory in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. His military prowess earned him the nickname "Old Hickory," and he went on to serve as a U.S. Senator and Representative before being elected President in 1828. The statue, which stands atop a pedestal adorned with reliefs depicting scenes from Jackson's life, shows the President astride his horse, dressed in military uniform and wearing a tricorn hat. Jackson's stern expression and commanding posture convey his strength and determination, making him a fitting symbol of the Old South. The statue, which is made of bronze, is a popular tourist attraction in New Orleans' historic French Quarter. It is a reminder of Jackson's enduring legacy as a military hero, a political leader, and a personage of great importance in American history. Mills' masterful sculpture captures the essence of Jackson's character and his place in American history. It is a contemporary work of art that continues to captivate visitors to Jackson Square and inspire awe and admiration for the man who helped shape the United States in the 19th century.
