where was andrew jackson born

Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767, in the Waxhaws region, which is a border area that lies between North Carolina and South Carolina. The exact location of his birth remains disputed, with two most likely sites being the Crawford Plantation in Lancaster County, South Carolina, and the George McCamie cabin in what is now Union County, North Carolina. Jackson himself claimed to have been born in South Carolina, although strong oral tradition and some testimony suggest North Carolina as well. This border area was not clearly defined at the time of his birth, contributing to the uncertainty. Jackson's family were Scots-Irish immigrants who settled in this region shortly before his birth.
