Not Andrew Jackson its Andrew Johnson that got impeached.. Johnson was after Lincoln
Andrew Jackson is considered one of our "great" presidents - he ushered in the Jacksonian era of politics which is true to this day where the mass populace voted, there was the growth of the president figure (Jackson had more vetoes in his terms than all his predecessors combined), and really started the spoils system
Whether you hate those features now or not, he is still widely regarded as a big president in history / figure - Andrew Johnson, on the other hand, is the guy who got impeached, not Jackson
