  • Summary Of Andrew Jackson And The Search For Vindication

    269 Words  | 2 Pages

    Andrew Jackson and the Search for Vindication was written by James C. Curtis as part of the Library of American Biography Series. He offers a pseudo psychological account of the life of Andrew Jackson that gives the reader a new perspective on the full life of our founding fathers. The reader will enjoy the unique perspective he gives to Jacksons childhood; you hear a lot about what our founding fathers did when they were older so it is refreshing to hear about the problems he had when he was younger. The book does a great job on making Andrew Jackson sound more like a normal person and not some perfect founding father that no average person would ever be able to become. However, with this new perspective on the childhood, he also brings

    There have been great men and terrible men who have risen to political power through some means; those individuals have done great or terrible things to better or hurt this great land that we live on, but I find everyone has a different idea of right and wrong. Men such as Andrew Jackson who kicked out millions of Native Americans from their land were and are regarded as “good men”. Our founding fathers created our system of government by taking ideas from around the globe, but neglected to bring in Thoth’s ideas and philosophies. Men like Abe Lincoln who freed the slaves were regarded as “bad men” in the south because at the time the South heavily relied on agricultural labor to make money. All kinds of men have led this country, but none

As the seventh President of the United States, Jackson had a major effect on the life of the common man, in such a way that the life of the common man would never be the same again.
