Some of those who sat in this chair you’ve probably never heard about, since the office is considered a "final resting place for has-beens and never-wases." -

His supporters in Congress obstructed all the efforts of the legally-elected President. When elected on his second try, he vowed to seek revenge against those who had stolen the first election. A checkered past followed him into the White House. He killed at least one man. His marriage may not have been legal. His business activities were questionable. He gave early support to individuals who may have been planning the secession of southwestern states. Despite all of this, the people loved him!! The President was Andrew Jackson. He broke the political power of the educated eastern elite and championed the emerging power of the "common man." Elected to two terms, the changes in America were so profound that the era has been commonly called "The Age of Jackson." His ascendency to the highest office marks a notable transition point in the American story. Learn about this interesting and transformative American President's controversies, challenges, and contributions.
