The Politics of Jacksonian America
by Harry Watson

What better way to head into 2024, an important election year, than to visit 1816 America? That is what we thought…Focusing on Jackson, this book covers the rise of strong political parties and an increased popular involvement in national politics. What could more entertain you these upcoming January evenings?

Going by the title, one can imagine there will be some discussion of Liberty and Power. I am sure you will learn at least a couple of things you can discuss at the family dinner table without offending anyone (unless your family hates learning things – that I can’t help)!
