President Andrew Jackson’s story is the first I'm telling in a series on Presidential History and the expanding role of the executive branch. In order to understand future Presidencies, like those of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, LBJ, or Trump, you need to know Andrew Jackson. This video explains Jackson’s time in the White House, from the Nullification crisis and the National Bank War, to the Indian Removal Act. Sources below. Enjoy! My main source was American Lion by Jon Meacham and his endless research at the Hermitage has been an invaluable help in crafting this video.
