On this episode of Our American Stories, Andrew Jackson was a duelist, a slaveholder, and a military hero with a serious temper. He was also the first president to claim the White House as a mandate from the common man. He shattered the political elite, crushed the national bank, and left behind a legacy that is still being debated. Dr. Bradley J. Birzer, author of In Defense of Andrew Jackson, shares the story of one of the most controversial and beloved figures in American history. We want to thank our partners at Hillsdale College for granting us access to this audio.
