Summary:

In the hotly contested Presidential Election of 1824, Speaker of the House Henry Clay ruthlessly maneuvers events in order to emerge as the new President of the United States. His political machinations, however, push the nation onto the brink of national crisis, as Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams form a political alliance against Clay and his fractions. In order to divert the nations's attention, Clay launces a war against the Confederacy of the Arkansas- the allilance of Indians, black freedmen, and escaped slaves whose birth we witnessed in 1812: The Rivers of War. The final result of the Arkansas War will forever transform the American landscape.
