Explore the Lives and Relationship of the Two Founders of the Democratic Party

Two captivating manuscripts in one book:

Andrew Jackson: A Captivating Guide to the Man Who Served as the Seventh President of the United States Martin Van Buren: A Captivating Guide to the Man Who Served as the Eighth President of the United States

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.

History chiefly remembers Martin Van Buren as the eighth president of the United States (1837- 1841).

The 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.

The 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.
