# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in the colonial Carolinas in 1767, Jackson became a frontier lawyer in Tennessee, then a planter who enslaved hundreds. He built his reputation as a militia commander during the Creek War of 1813–1814, seizing vast indigenous territories, then became a national hero after his 1815 victory at the Battle of New Orleans against the British. He lost the 1824 presidential race in the House despite winning the popular vote, but swept back in 1828. As president from 1829 to 1837, he signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830 — an ethnic cleansing that displaced tens of thousands and left thousands dead on forced marches. He crushed South Carolina's attempt to nullify federal tariffs, killed the Second Bank of the United States, and in 1835 became the only president to eliminate the national debt. He died in 1845, his stock high for a century before it began to fall.
