Best Answer

Former President of the United States, Andrew Jackson, was scarred on the left hand and head by a sword from a British redcoat, leaving him scars on his hands and feet - having refused to clean the boots of the army officer. Jackson became an orphan before the age of 14, giving Jackson an intense hatred of the British for the rest of his life.
