The War of 1812 was more than Fort McHenry and the burning of Washington. There was also a Southern theater, which launched an iconic and polarizing political career. Tennessee’s Andrew Jackson, supported by Davy Crockett and Sam Houston, was the victor in the 1814 Creek War.  In time, battlefield victory would evolve into political victory, and the American presidency would never be the same.
