Book Reviews of Andrew Jackson: And His America (Milton Meltzer Biographies)
Book Review: WHO IS THE OLD MAN ON THE $20 BILL?
Summary: 4 Stars
Written by a distinquished popular historian, this critical biography of the seventh United States President traces Jackson's dramatic rise to power from poverty. Hailed as the "greatest man of the age" by admirers and attacked as "King Andrew the First" by critics, Jackson dramatically expanded the presidency's powers and dominated American politics for two decades. After defeating the British at the Battle of New Orleans and conquering the Creek Indians, Major General Jackson became a national hero. Jackson soon organized what became the modern Democratic Party to become President, vigorously ruled as President, and wiped out the Federal debt. Synthesizing conflicting perspectives on this charismatic populist leader, this well-written book also examines promotion of slavery, the forced relocation of Indians against a Supreme Court decision, and expansionist policies. Excellent annotated source notes for people interested in further pursuing this fascinating era in American history.
