None of our national leaders has come from a more humble beginning ...

Andrew Jackson.

Dirt poor is dirt poor.

Jackson and Lincoln had very similar beginnings.

If anything, Jackson may have had it slightly easier, as he had fairly well-off relatives that helped out somewhat, albeit at the cost of young Jackson being treated as a “poor relation.”
