ANDREW JACKSON
He fought duels, defied the Supreme Court, and put the people in the White House - and we're still arguing about him today.
Andrew Jackson is the most controversial face on American money: war hero to some, villain to others, a mystery to most. You know the nickname "Old Hickory." You've seen him on the $20 bill. But do you really know the orphaned backcountry boy who clawed his way from the Waxhaws to the White House and rewired American politics forever?
If Andrew Jackson has always been a contradiction you couldn't untangle - patriot and slaveholder, champion of the common man and architect of Indian Removal - this is the book that finally makes sense of him.
Inside, you'll discover:
* **How a poor orphan became "Old Hickory"** - from a Revolutionary boy soldier scarred by a British sword to the hero of the Battle of New Orleans.
* **The making of modern American politics** - the "corrupt bargain" of 1824, the brutal 1828 campaign, and the birth of the people's presidency.
* **Jackson's most explosive fights** - the Bank War, the Nullification Crisis, and the moment a president became "King Andrew."
* **The dark legacy** - the Indian Removal Act, the Trail of Tears, and the true human cost of Jacksonian democracy.
