Best Answer

Andrew Jackson was a very stubborn man, and when he won the Battle of New Orleans in the early 1800s, he was given the nickname"Ol' Hickory" because Hickory is a type of hard wood. An example of his stubbornness was when he was just a boy during the American Revolution His home was captured by British soldiers and one British officer ordered the young Jackson to shine his boots. Finding it degrading Jackson refused and the furious officer struck on the face with his sword, leaving a scar that Andrew Jackson became quite fond of, actually.

He was captured by the British during the Revolutionary War and a British officer ordered to shine his boots. Jackson felt that as a POW that such a order was insulting and refused. The officer struck Jackson with his sword and cut his face.
