Final answer:

Andrew Jackson did not have moral reservations about slavery, despite being a slaveowner.


Step-by-step explanation:

Of the statements provided, the one that is NOT true of Andrew Jackson is: He had moral reservations about the institution of slavery, although he owned more than 100 slaves. Andrew Jackson was a known slaveowner and did not express moral opposition to slavery. The other statements are accurate. He was wounded in duels, served as a frontier attorney in Nashville, Tennessee, was the last president born of the Revolutionary generation, and married Rachel Robards while she was still legally married to her first husband.
