He belonged to the US Legislature and the US Senate from Tennessee for a brief time. After giving up, he served on the Tennessee Supreme Court as a justice from 1798 till 1804.

In the year 1801, he was selected colonel of the Tennessee militia, and the following year, he was chosen its leader. Throughout the Creek War of 1813 to 1814, he led forces to success in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.
