Here, Andrew Jackson, at 13, was a messenger for the revolutionary army, was captured in 1780, refused to clean boots of a British officer and received a sword cut for his temerity.
Jackson holds claim to being the only president to have been a prisoner of war. He was captured by the British and held for about two weeks in Camden, S.C.
Old Hickory payed the Brits back by destroying their invading army in the battle of New Orleans, weeks after the peace treaty was signed, ending the War of 1812.
