By then, Jackson had also moved on to bigger things. In 1798, he left the Senate and went back to Nashville, not to return to national politics for 25 years.Jackson carries the dubious distinctions of being the first president to be physically attacked in office, in May 1833, and the first to have an assassination attempt against him in office (January 1835)—the misfire of both pistols wielded by his assailant only added to his legend.Two years later, when a group of Creek and Seminole Indians refused to recognize U.S. claims to their land and invaded the U.S. from Spanish Florida, attacking settlers as they advanced, Jackson was ordered back into action. Perhaps Jackson had seen some good in the “great, hulking fellow” as they fought that fire in Jonesborough years before. In 1802, Jackson was elected a major general by the Tennessee militia.“Summon a posse, then,” Jackson ordered.This reference to his elopement with Rachel startled Jackson.The Franklin had been recommended to Jackson by John Henry Eaton, Tennessee’s senior senator and the author of a biography that affirmed Jackson’s heroism as the general who vanquished the British army at New Orleans in 1815. The scandal of Rachel as a bigamist would plague the couple to the end of their days.Unfortunately, the candle-lit nuptials held at the O’Neale residence on January 1, 1829, only incited fresh criticism of the couple. While it provoked “no very marked exhibitions of bad feeling in any quarter,” recalled Van Buren, the event was nonetheless awkward and tense. Natchez Hills Winery at Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage offers guests the experience of enjoying and learning more about the 7 th President’s historical ties to wine while tasting wines made locally here in middle Tennessee! Washington elite and Jackson’s own cabinet members socially ostracized Secretary of War John Eaton and his wife over perceived social differences. The nation’s new capital, Washington, D.C., was more than 600 miles away, with not nearly the influence on local affairs now exercised by the federal government. His governorship was short-lived and contentious—he resigned December 1, 1821.At 17, Jackson decided to become a lawyer after briefly teaching school and moved to Salisbury, North Carolina. During that captivity, a British officer struck him with a sword for refusing to polish the officer’s boots, leaving Andrew with a scar on his face and one hand and a hatred for the British; he would carry all three for the rest of his life.Having suffered through hardship, severe wounding, life-threatening illness and the loss of his immediate family, Jackson never forgot the price he and others had paid to obtain America’s liberties. Until Jackson’s arrival, the only lawyer in the area had been retained by a combination of these debtors. He received some unexpected assistance from the outlaw Bean. Robards did not obtain an official divorce until 1793. Damn the gossipers, he insisted, “if you love Margaret Timberlake go and marry her at once and shut their mouths.”In the early 19th century, Tennessee lay on the edge of American civilization. Jackson once wrote to his wife, Rachel, at home in Nashville, Tennessee, that “every Sunday evening [she] entertains her pious mother with sacred music to which we are invited.”“Mr. Sheriff,” Jackson said through clenched teeth, “since you cannot obey my orders, summon me; yes sir, summon me.”Some of his indiscretions were less destructive but more scandalous. That was long enough for him to have heard all the rumors about Margaret’s premarital teenage romances. Jackson took many buying trips to stock his stores, traveling to major cities like New Orleans, New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. The legislature had convened in the city, preparing to discuss the scandal. He became known for his daring, his playfulness, and his hot-headed temper.It was soon clear to Jackson that better opportunities must lie in the West. Knowledgeable staff will guide you through a tasting of different varietals, educating new wine drinkers and sharing stories with the seasoned connoisseur. Yet when Rachel died of a heart attack less than three months before his inauguration, Jackson blamed the political defamers for hastening her demise. The pair had wed in 1785, but Robards believed that his wife was unfaithful and sought a divorce in 1790. In 1817–1818, he pushed the Indians back into Florida and in an unauthorized invasion captured Pensacola. And Jackson was never far from chicanery.
