Unit 6 Test Review 1.) How did Andrew Jackson first come into the national spotlight? During the War of 1812, he was seen as a military hero for winning the 1815 Battle of New Orleans. 2.) How did the 1824 Election turn out for Andrew Jackson?

The Southeast Cherokee lands (including gold in Georgia) were wanted by the white settlers. 8.) What big Supreme Court decision happened with Cherokees fighting their relocation?
