Andrew Jackson
Evan French
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States from 1829 to 1837, was a complex and controversial figure in American history. Known as "Old Hickory" for his toughness, Jackson rose to national prominence as a military hero during the War of 1812, particularly for his victory in the Battle of New Orleans. A founder of the Democratic Party, he positioned himself as a champion of the common man, advocating for expanded suffrage and opposing what he saw as elitist institutions like the Bank of the United States. His presidency was marked by several significant and divisive actions, including the implementation of the spoils system, the nullification crisis over states' rights, and the forceful relocation of Native American tribes along the infamous "Trail of Tears," which has marred his legacy. Jackson's populist rhetoric and exercise of executive power have left a lasting influence on the American political landscape.
