American Presidents: Andrew Jackson




Podcasts – Teaching American History show

Summary: Andrew Jackson was the focus of Saturday, October 10th's American Presidents webinar, moderated by Chris Burkett and featuring Jeremy Bailey and Jace Weaver as panelists, with a live teacher audience of over 80. Of particular interest was Jackson's balance between executive power and his support of states' rights - something that is often difficult to reconcile. During the discussion two books were mentioned as being particularly good resources for information about Jackson: Presidential Greatness, which has a chapter about Jackson; and Andrew Jackson, by Robert Remini. The post American Presidents: Andrew Jackson appeared first on Teaching American History.
