<human>:  I have a question about the history of the town of Jacksonport, Mississippi. Why is it called Jacksonport?
<bot>: The town was named after Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States. Jackson was a hero of the American Revolution and a major figure in the War of 1812. He was also a slave owner and a proponent of the Indian Removal Act, which led to the forced removal of Native Americans from their lands in the southeastern United States.
