On this episode of Our American Stories, the election of 1828 marked a political revolution in America. Andrew Jackson, a hard-driving frontiersman who never forgot his roots, brought a new style of politics to Washington, one built on popular appeal, distrust of elites, and faith in the judgment of ordinary Americans.

In this installment of our ongoing Story of Us—Story of America series, Dr. Bill McClay, author of Land of Hope, tells the tale of the rise of Andrew Jackson, what Jacksonian Democracy was, and the promise and contradictions of America’s first common-man president.
