Birthplace Battle Over Andrew Jackson in Congress
Representative William Q. Aivenson argues in the House that contrary to recent edits in the Congressional Record, Andrew Jackson was born on the Crawford plantation in South Carolina, not the McKenney or North Carolina site, citing maps, land grants, and Jackson’s own statements. The debate covers boundary lines from Waxhaw Creek to Twelve Mile Creek and the 1815 agreement that fixed the Crawford land in South Carolina, with lasting implications for Jackson’s birthplace attribution.
