For over a century historians have been unable to agree about Andrew Jackson. Was he as Robert Remini has insisted for more than forty years a masterful politician who shaped the modern presidency and ushered in an era of new democratic politics? Or was he, as James C. Curtis and Andrew Burstein have argued, a loose cannon who possessed no vision for the American republic?In Andrew Jackson in Context, Matthew Warshauer, Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University and author of Andrew Jackson and the Politics of Martial Law, offers a detailed look at differing historians’ views on Jackson and places these perspectives within an accessible biography of the seventh president.Andrew Jackson in Context is an engaging, well written biography that is perfect for students and those who want to understand not only Jackson and his era, but what historians have written about him.
