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
