In order to begin answering the question, we have to start at the beginning. Their childhoods. Andrew Jackson the 7th president and Franklin Roosevelt the 32nd president couldn’t have come from more different worlds. Andrew Jackson was born to two penniless immigrants, who had come over from Ireland. Unfortunately Andrew's father died before he got to see his third son born.1 Throughout the families hardship they somehow found the means to send Andrew to school. Andrew learned to read which was very rare, in the 1770.2 The Revolutionary War started soon after he was born. At the age of 13 Jackson joined a regiment. He and his brother, were eventually captured by the British and imprisoned together. Hearing her two children were being held by British soldiers, Jackson’s mother went somehow managed to get the boys released; howeve

The first election that Andrew Jackson participated in, was the election of 1824. Five members of the Democratic-Republican Party ran for the office, John Quincy Adams, John C. Calhoun (who later dropped out), William H. Crawford, Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson. Jackson was viewed by the world as a wild, almost barbaric man. The initial outcome was that no candidate had a majority of the electoral college, the election was thrown into the House of Representatives. On the first vote, thirteen states voted for Adams, seven for Jackson, and four for Crawford. Several western states that had supported Clay shifted their support to Adams and the House elected him president. John Quincy Adams was elected president, however, being that Adams elected Clay as his Secretary of state, the victory was not viewed as a true one. Even though Jackson was view as rough around the edges and a little radical, he still managed to win his next two elections, making him the 7th president of the United States. Roosevelt was seen in a different light before his presidency began. Nobody really thought that he had what it took to be President. People with public influence made him out to be a political lightweight. Roosevelt, however, proved them wrong when in his first election, in 1932, not only did he campaign like a pro, but he also won the election by a large margin. This continued for the twelve years of his presidential career.10

Both of these former presidents, had very interesting campaigns and elections. On the one hand there is Andrew Jackson who is in some way “cheated” out of the first election he ever runs in. On the other is Franklin Roosevelt, the President who is famous for taking the country by surprise, and for actually holding the office for more years than any other president.

r his older brother died on the long trip home.3 His mother, who later went to do her part in the war effort, was a nurse for the American prisoners and was fatally stricken by cholera.4 Andrew Jackson was left without a family, he was an orphan. Andrew was sent to live with relatives, due to the terrible deaths of all his immediate family members. Since Andrew Jackson was lucky enough to get an education at an early age, just before turning eighteen in late 1784, he left home and took up the study of law.5

Franklin Roosevelt fortunately didn’t have to deal with quite as many childhood obstacles as Andrew Jackso
