Andrew Jackson

Explore the Captivating Life of Andrew Jackson When Jackson left the White House after two presidential terms, he had achieved a rare feat: he left office with even more popularity than when he first entered it. 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. In 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. The 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. Some of the topics covered in this book include: The War Orphan The Gentleman The Scarlet Woman The Congressman Supreme Court Justice and Major General Old Hickory Sharp Knife War Hero Expansion Presidential Candidate A Tumultuous Presidency Jacksonian Reform Retirement And much more! Scroll to the top and select the «BUY NOW» button for instant download
