Andrew Jackson's plantations in northern Alabama

In the 1810s and 1820s, future president of the United States Andrew Jackson owned three plantations in the Muscle Shoals region of northern Alabama, along the Tennessee River, at Melton's Bluff in Lawrence County, at Evans' Spring near Florence in Lauderdale County, and at Big Spring in Franklin County (later Tuscumbia in Colbert County). Jackson knew about the "potential of North Alabama for settlement" because of "repeated travels" through the country, due to his trading business, and warring with the Creeks and the Seminoles as a major general of Tennessee militia and the United States Army.
