The correct answer is false. The first President to be elected who came from the West of the Appalachian Mountains was Abraham Lincoln. President Lincoln was the 16th elected President of America.
Andrew Jackson was born in South Carolina which is on the East of the Appalachian Mountains.
Answer:
The statement is true. Jackson was the first president to be elected who hailed west of Appalachian Mountains.
Explanation:
Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767. His parents were Scottish and Irish settlers Andrew and Elizabeth Hutchinson Jackson, Presbyterians who had emigrated from Ireland two years earlier.
When Jackson's parents emigrated to North America in 1765, they probably arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Most likely they traveled overland between the Appalachian Mountains to the Scottish-Irish community in the Waxhaws region, west of that range, eventually staying somewhere between the border of North Carolina and South Carolina, where President Jackson was born.
