His reputation as a strong president and a \"champion of working-class democracy\" has nevertheless been viewed through a more nuanced lens in recent years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 2016, President Barack Obama decided to replace Andrew Jackson's visage on the front of the $20 bill with a portrait of abolitionist Harriet Tubman. Meanwhile, current President Donald Trump has repeatedly drawn parallels between himself and Jackson via his infamous Twitter account and public speeches. He even put a portrait of Jackson in the Oval Office and visited his tomb in Nashville shortly after being sworn in. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe present day is thus an apt time for a look into Jackson's divisive life and legacy and that is what this captivating book offers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSome of the topics covered in part one of this book include: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe War Orphan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gentleman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Scarlet Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Congressman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupreme Court Justice and Major General\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Hickory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWar Hero\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresidential Candidate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Tumultuous Presidency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJacksonian Reform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eHistory chiefly remembers Martin Van Buren as the eighth president of the United States (1837- 1841). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe darkness of his times (the first depression, the question of slavery, the forceful relocation of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands) easily come to mind, but America was also hurtling towards the future we live in during Van Buren's reign. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe seeds of the modernity we recognize so well - railway networks, democracy, the printing press - were sowed in his era. Six small townships and cities - in Maine, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, and Arkansas - still bear his surname. To understand the history of American politics, one must understand Van Buren's often overlooked legacy. This book will give you an in-depth understanding of this man, born a tavern owner's son, who became one of the founders of the Democratic Party. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSome of the topics covered in part two of this book include: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Skilled Lawyer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Albany Regency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecretary of State; Vice President In-Waiting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Panic of 1837\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Gothic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriumphs and Defeat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComebacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eScroll to the top and select the \"Add to Cart\" to learn more about Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 10 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 27, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51798649700640,"sku":"9781720420828","price":19.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/8e8582d637a38df90ff83648ec0dd778.webp?v=1780795766","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/american-presidents-a-captivating-guide-to-andrew-jackson-and-martin-van-buren-the-two-founders-of-the-democratic-party-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
