Printed below portrait: 'THE UNION / MUST AND SHALL BE PRESERVED.', Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 - June 8, 1845) was the 7th President of the United States of America. Though he would die more than a decade before the start of the Civil War, Jackson's Nullification Proclamation of December 10, 1832, which made it illegal for states or municipalities to nullify federal laws, is attributed to having contributed to the tension between democrats and republicans, leading further to the secession of numerous southern states from the original Union.
