Two captivating manuscripts in one audiobook:
- 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.
