- Summary:
- This fully annotated and searchable XML-based archive collects Jackson's papers in one powerful online resource and is interoperable with Rotunda editions covering the most important personages of the nation's early history. Following a brilliant military career that brought him to national attention and set in motion the "Old Hickory" legend, Andrew Jackson was elected president in 1828. From the beginning, he stamped the highest office with his wildly individualistic character, feuding bitterly not only with enemies but his own cabinet, calling for sweeping reforms in government, and committing to a strong union while at the same time effectively terminating the Bank of the United States. A champion of the common man who nonetheless remains a contentious figure in human rights, Jackson encompasses America's contradictions unlike anyone else, and left the presidency forever changed.
