my guess about andrew jackson is that he knew that barack obama wanted to change and take andrew jacksonace jackson with harriet tubman. and he wants to make sure he doesn't do anything that barack obama wanted to do. i don't think he has a clue who andrew jackson was. i think someone told him that andrew jackson was uncouth and was -- among whites, that is, popularly elected president and that was enough for him. i can't imagine he would know anything about andrew jackson. look, every president gets to choose the portraits they have in the oval office. you learn a lot about a president, about the portraits they choose. if somehow marianne williamson should become president, a lot of stars would have to align in a different way. >> you never know. >> we can look forward to seeing the kind of people she chooses, which president she puts there. i don't think trump knows a darn thing about andrew jackson frankly. >> it's interesting. i asked her about reparations during the debate. she took umbrage. i don't understand why. i thought it was a perfectly legitimate question. listen, williamson

of religion in the formation of the democratic party and the place of religion in the rise of andrew jackson. he is also the host of the jackson podcast, which is sponsored by andrew jackson's -- >> thank you very much for coming to listen to our panel, it is wonderful to see, and i would like to say a special thank you to michael for letting me join, and a special thanks to charles for funding my truck -- trip here. in the early days, president james k polk received a letter from his old classmates, william don mosley, they had studied together at the university of carolina, and both men have joined the ascendant credit party, during the jackson admonition, polk, serving in the house, to help advance jackson's calls mostly represent lenore county in north carolina senate, from 1829 until 1837, following his defeat for the senates governorship, mostly with his family, when he aided the territory received into the union as a state. eventually serving as first governor in 1845. polk mostly curried, but mostly expressed his concern about the oregon territory and a possible war with great britai

one political cartoon depicted andrew jackson as a devil, tempting the people with the spoils of his office. while a comedic letters featured him mocking the followers of jackson as if jackson was descend issing from hempb with a glow and a halo as some kind of divine figure. a cartoon of mark van buren depicting him as a king after the panic of 1837 has him being crowned by the demon himself. polk was not spared from the association with the demonic cartoon displaying a half being strukted by a demon concealing himself with the mask of andrew jackson on what to do about the oregon territory. ceremonies have also been a feature of the jack sewn ysonia painted against the people. they placed the effigy and robe around its neck, an empty boxes and consigned the whole thing to the flims shouting the a a identity approval of the crowds. a man from pittsburgh noting the burning of the trader claylike wise confessed in the letter i am constrained to believe fully aagreeable to scripture that might not be slain. they found such religion blasphemous wondering what a religious community is is

jefferson's ideological descendants, included andrew jackson and james k polk. the president responsible for the mexican war. jackson and polk new for jefferson's so-called yoman farmers to flourish, large amounts of virgin land were needed. they added 2.1 million square miles to the united states. when jefferson took office in 1801, u.s. was 1,891,000 square miles. when polk left office in 1849. it covered 3 million square miles but became the 48th contiguous state. since then, just 700,000 square miles have been added. most of it alaska. i emphasize land because the mexican war was all about taking hand from mexico. and the mexican war was the first but by no means the last american war. it began on a questionable pretext. we have soon it happen since then. sinking into havana. and the reported weapons of mass destruction in iraq. polk said the war was about indemnities in the disputed texas-mexican border but a secret purpose that he never publicly revealed was to obtain california. in 1846, the united states had no pacific ports. but longed to have them. engl

he was so closely aligned with andrew jackson he was called young hickory. this was a huge advantage because no one knew, first of all when he ran in 1844 who he was, because jackson was the most popular president and being associated with him was a great thing. 1844, polk had become the first dark course presidential nominee , he emerged from the democratic convention in baltimore, he was a compromised candidate. to hold his party together he pledged to serve one term and he stuck to his pledge. he once wrote in his diary that he was the hardest working man in america. if he was not that, he was certainly the hardest working american president, every waking hour six days a week, sometimes seven, was occupied by public business. his wife was his partner of politics and government, they had no children and this was their life, politics and running the country. she was educated at the female academy in salem north carolina. she's the only first lady to serve as her husband secretary. in the white house they often worked side by side at their desk through the ni

as harry truman had thomas jefferson and andrew jackson. quote, he said exactly what he was going to do and he did and this is true, polk, in fact, accomplished everything he promised when he took office and he lowered the tariff and established an independent treasury and he annexed taxes and took position of oregon and most importantly, he achieved his fifth secret goal and that was to obtain california, and it all turned out well for the united states, but not for mexico, bankrupt and ravaged by chaos and revolution and porfirio diaz's regime did mexico stabilize and begin to develop an industrial base. i want to add something about james polk. he's one of two presidents born in north carolina. the other one being andrew johnson. he was born near charlotte. andr andrew johnson was half a president, and both states were claimed at various times. polk's family moved to tennessee when he was 11 and he returned to north carolina to attend the dwrfrt of chapel hill and graduated with first honors and mathematics and the classics, and then he

the indiana washington sun in biblical fashion proclaimed in the name of andrew jackson, your altars will crumble as the guard of the philistines before the tabernacle of the eternal. there is still a small voice gathered among the people which says a time of trial is coming which points to the savior of the south and says the man is a man of the people. his cause is the cause of the people. like whigs, democrats as early as 1822 met in churches to show their support for jackson, van buren and polk. one scholar also pointed out how the new democratic movement infused theology to show that the expansion of the american nation under polk was the very will of god. how did these diverse groups that helped jackson, van burn and poek land the presidency. given these religious statistics, in what sense can we think of jacksonian democrats, whether they be catholic, jewish or mormon as the more secular party. my emphasis as a scholar of religion is to emphasize the religious identifier as corrective. ecclesiastical rituals are almost completely ignored by many historians in general. simply f

look, andrew jackson was the founder of the modern democratic party. wouldn't be able to run for president. not only lbj but hubert humphrey a pioneer in civil rights would celebrate the jefferson jackson day and raise money on that day. so he has been their hero, too. it is interesting how all of this is really about trump. everything is about trump. so because people compare andrew jackson to donald trump, now they don't like andrew jackson. it's fascinating. brian: there is a lot of comparisons, a man that wasn't accepted by washington. took his case to the people. brought it through campaigning. no one ever thought he would win. he ended up winning. and then a lot things he did ended up rank cling. he hired his family like jackson hired his family only people he could trust. doug wead, always great to talk to you. thank you so much. >> thanks, brian. will. brian: ilhan omar and regard tlaib talking about there on again off again trip to israel. what's not being covered? we'll discuss it. that a handle is just a handle. or... that you can't be both

does andrew jackson, the age, he is best known for? also supremacy but universal white male suffrage in the space of just a few years. for before people had property restrictions they had to pay certain amount of taxes and the ability to vote for all white men. political philosophy he believes all white men should vote and made that change rather suddenly. but if it is now african-american men, they are not prepared for it. morean see here even explanation that it is white supremacy guiding his interpretation here. tells the senators that "white men must manage the south. same year he told the governor of missouri this is a country for white men and by god so long as i am president it should be a government for white men. he was being pretty clear here, right? present andrew johnson in greenville, it said he was a white supremacist and i was told they are harsh words and we should not say that. i said, he said those things about himself. is 1867 he wrote to >> he said it would be worse to give african-americans the right to vote. that

connected through the politics at tennessee where as we heard they were both strong allies of andrew jackson. polk helped get jackson elected to the senate which earned him a political friend for life. and jackson had rewarded catrin's political friendship with a seat on the supreme court in 1837. and political friendship is the key phrase there because politics is how presidents decided on their supreme court nominees. you may know that 19th century justices did not have the same kinds of credentials as they do today. state and federal judges often moved seamlessly between traditional political positions, such as state representative or lieutenant governor, then into the judiciary then back into those political positions. and so as a result, there were really no feeder courts from which presidents could find a farm team of suitable supreme court judges as they often do today. instead, political experience was often the best indicator for who was going to join the supreme court. 19th century presidents typically made supreme court nominations squarely based on partisan reasoning rewarding po

andrew johnson, his hero was andrew jackson. his other hero was thomas jefferson. so states rights, protection of slavery, another thing he is also known for, and he was also a slave owner himself. he owned over -- nine slaves? prof. slap: 10 to 12. johnson played up the apprenticeship, that he was treated as a slave. there was a difference in actuality. in his mind, he conflated the two. that is one of the reasons why attackeden -- he planters, the wealthy slaveowners who he sees looking down on the poor whites like him even when he becomes wealthy. he still identifies and sees himself as a poor white. that guides a lot of his philosophy. a lot of what he does in his life is that self-image of being the poor hardscrabble white person pulling himself up. i talked about how he did not like planters. he viewed himself even before the war and certainly when secession started ripping the country apart, he was with the honest yeomen fighting the slave-ocracy, the words he was what he called the pampered, bloated, corrupted aristocracy. these are people with huge plantat

and said andrew jackson had been impeached and no one knew johnson was and cannot remember. or be assumed that this was probably more troubling than having people run away from me was that the impeachment process and impeachment of johnson had been a preposterous mistake and that intrigued me. to go back to eric's question i began the book six years ago deep into the obama presidency and i was not prescient and if anyone was prescient it was my publisher, basically and i was interested because in the previous book i had written as dad mentioned was a static nation covers a very large time in american history during and after the civil war. rather ridiculously ambitious project but when i was working on that particular book it seemed to me strange that the first ever impeachment of an american president which occurred in 1868 was an event that seem to make people's eyes glaze over and it seems that most people who knew and this was not eric of course but generally the public or whatever that we went from lincoln to grant without stopping so that in the fact that a static nati

andrew jackson is second here. and and you -- andrew jackson's other emotion is anger. the largest correlation success. you are approaching and tackling. you're taking on issues. jackson did have that quality of anger. the other person here is nixon. there is no portrait of nixon and the white house. this is the person he actually went to and met after a nonprofit fundraiser in houston many years ago. obviously when nixon was still alive seeking advice about running for the presidency. after i saw a documentary all those many years ago he sat down and but hold nixon for the entire evening. every likelihood that trump was going to make this endeavor. i did want to move to a happier note for a moment. the joy in particular the highest level of happiness where you get the twinkle in the eye. the single strongest reliable indicator of happiness. we've only two presidents. one of them is actually trumps predecessor. i thought i would read a little bit of a summary about taft to help you along. this is on william taft. they could nevertheless be pegged as a big softy. when the

we will begin by taking that picture of andrew jackson off the wall of the oval office. i assure you i am not a native american woman, but i find it one of the greatest insults. you will not be insulted. you will be more than not insulted. if i am president of the united states. >> in the midst of all this, i guess it should be no surprise that the president is returning to an old favorite obsession, the size of the crowds at his rallies. >> i think they said 17,000 people outside that couldn't get in. the fire martials close it at a certain level. the arena announced, i don't know the people at the arena, that i broke elton john's record. >> the thing is, pretty much everybody reported that the president had a big crowd in new hampshire. there was a viral tweet that showed some empty seats. and we know how seriously the president takes his twitter, so maybe that had something to do with it. but cnn confirmed today that president trump broke the attendance record at his rally last week, even beating elton john. by the way, what's with the obsession with elton john? >> i

his hero was tennessee's democrat andrew jackson. and he imposed the lincoln in 1860. but his love of the union made him loyal even when tennessee us is seceded. as president, he's committed to following lincoln's policy rather than stevens of revenge, confiscation, addition enfranchisement. you can see in world war ii, you'll have the need to have unity in times of crisis ask war. you need to have north and south reconcile what johnson was trying to do and have democrats and republics getting together. african-americans were need too. but their plight is to the those that appeal. johnson is is a fugitive. he has a shackle on his leg. he has to have that cut off. so he's a fugitive. he keeps the shackle all of his life. then when stevens comes in and offers to help him, i'll help you win the next election. he says i have been chained before. and then he promises that he's going to free southerners just as lincoln freed the slaves. you can imagine the naacp wasn't happy and protested. they protested before the film even came out. a worker gave a copy of the script to th

so sickles will go off when james buchanan and wants to be the first from andrew jackson. and with that stature and confirm with jamesr buchanan now former secretary of state a long time senator and congressman he says he's not interested in the appointmentnt but makes every concession and meets every demand so he is a really good aid and then to make the connection he hitches his wagon of alaska rear public service and in the end of going to the united kingdom together and then with those multiple languages and then to promote the united states like in victoria's court so the prohibition of statehood because then he will come back to make a way for james buchanan to run for president. but he tried to put an end to his career in fact with the missouri compromise and with election fraud in kansas with the hope of winning the presidency as someone who was untainted in any way. so that is what they ensure would be the next president of the united states so he laid the groundwork and then to be in line with the administration but not about that recurring theme but his own man

>>in this controversy with andrew jackson about the bank. is it your opinion that it is shocking to think that the bank person in charge of the bank with think that he could disregard the direction of his primary customer just to make a little money? >>yes. that was essentially the scandal. he was an interesting guy. he was very inclusive about optics and the way his behavior came off to other people and just kind of optics and public relations perspective. he was constantly doing things like that, that made the bank same arbitrary and tyrannical and heavy-handed, which is to a certain extent this colombian clumsiness to the way that he played his hand that made his position harder and harder to sustain. >>other questions? okay. thank you very much. let's give him a round of applause. >>[ applause ] >>we are featuring american history tv programs and a preview of what is available every weekend. lectures in history. american artifacts, real america, the civil war, oral history, the presidency and special event coverage about our nations hist

and the poor whites would be, his hero was tennessee democrat andrew jackson and he opposed lincoln in 1860. his love of the union made him loyal even when tennessee seceded causing lincoln to choose him as vice president in 1864. was president, he is committed to following lincoln's policies, rather than stevens average end, confiscation, suspension present this branch has been. you can see, or two, you're going to have, in times of crisis and war, you need to have north and south reconcile. and you need to have jacksonian democrats and ligonier republicans getting together. of course african-americans were needed for the war effort to. their plight is appropriated to bolster the films appeal to poor whites. the very first scene, johnson, runaway apprentice, fugitive, is a shekel in his life. and he is have that cut off. so he's the fugitive, shekel on the leg, if the poor white. he keeps a shekel all of his life. and then when stevens comes in, when is president and offers to help them, i'll help you when the next election, if you support radical reconstruction. and johnson replies,

the consulate who wrote a letter to andrew jackson about his behalf, he wrote that, he -- he didn't give a lot of detail either, buhe did say that wirz camfrom a very good background and had esteemable parents and came from a very respectable family, but we really don't know a lot about him, and he never spoke publicly about his life in europe. and once he arrived in the united states, he marries a fairly waity widow from -- wealthy widow from kentucky and he settles in kentucky for a while before eventually moving to louisiana. once in louisiana, wirz sets up a medical practice. now, he -- there is no evidence he received any kind of medical training, although he did say he had always wanted to be a doctor, but his father pushed him into business, right. he didn't want him to be a phi so once he is in louisiana, wirz sets up a medical practice, which, as you know from our previous discussions about medicine in the 19th century and during the civil war, that was not uncommon. it is the way things were done in the 19th century. you would apprentice with a practicing physician, and eventua

his heresy was tennessee democrat andrew jackson and he opposed the republican lincoln in 1860 but his love of the union made him loyal even when tennessee seceded causing lincoln then to choose him as vice president in 1864. now as president he is committed to following lincoln's policy rather than stevens of revenge and confiscation and disenfranchisement. so you can see in world war ii, we needed to have unity in times of crisis and war. you need to have north and south reconciled which johnson tried to do and you need to have draconian democrats and republicans getting together. of course african-americans were needed for the war effort to but their plight is appropriated to bolster the films appeal to whites. in the very first scene johnson as the runaway apprentice and fugitive has a shackle on his leg and he has to have that cut off so he keeps the shackle all of his life and then when stevens comes in as president and offers to help him, i'll help you with when the next election if you support radical reconstruction he said and johnson replies, pulls out the chain and says i've

his hero was tennessee's democrat andrew jackson. and he had opposed the republican lincoln in 1860 but his love of the union made him loyal even when tennessee see seeds. he is committed to following lincoln policy rather than stephens' of revenge, confiscation disenfranchisement. inned world war ii you need to have unity in times of crisis and war. you need north and south reconciled as johns johnson was trying to do. and you need jacquecine yan and lincoln republicans getting together. african-americans were needed for the war effort. but their polite is appropriated to bolster the film to poor whites. in the first seen johnson is a shackle on his leg. and he has to have that cut off. so he is a fugitive shackle on leg, cut off, the poor white. he keeps the shackle all of his life. and then when stephens comes in when he is president and offers to help him -- i'll help you one win the next election if you support radical reconstruction he says and johnson applies pulse out the chain and says i've been chained before and then he pr

address deserve to be called the functional representative of democracy not typically seen and not andrew jackson either here he is as stringing up his hapless predecessor he could compose formal speeches and richly rewarded his friends that was his style. and to profit in the southern manner for jackson didn't read history and was not predisposed to democracy in any real way but john adams and john quincy adams is a better democrat than jackson. wrap your mind around that. democracy is proclaimed more than it is practiced. and on the basis of the comprehensive study of history. >> and psychology it as much of jefferson at the heart of the revolutionary movement like the divine right of kings to cultivate john adams held what could be found in every heart and to worship the riches. this is why he identified the danger of the cult of personality it is when the personality of the leader is equated with the nation but to worship the idols that we the people as the soul of the body of politics. as adam watched the cult of personal first when he was in france they are franklin seduced the educated eli

there are two other people here that the president has the most affinity for one of them is andrew jackson and his other emotion is anger. so that is the emotion but i want to approach you to hit you. that has the largest coalition of success so then to take on issues and mix it up so jackson does have that quality of anger. and that helps to explain why jackson is higher up on the chart. the other is nixon. so with nixon in the white house but this is the person actually went to. many years ago when he was still alive. used to think that trump was not serious to run for the presidency after i saw the documentary all those years ago how we sat down and interviewed nixon for an entire evening for what it would take to get to the white house i change my tune. that i thought there was every likelihood he would make the endeavor. this is the second thing i want to take you to. and to apply to sadness where you get the crows feet and the twinkle in your eye joy is this angus strongest reliable indicator only to have joy is the most prevalent emotion one of them is obama the other is taft i thou

mother, i find somewhat to my consternation the person i most agree with in broad strokes is andrew jackson who gave a speech about her while dedicating a memorial that never got out. jackson got it right when he said george learned his sense of proportion, commanding presence, persistence as well as a measure of humility from his mother. so, okay. george's mother. stories that are a little spice ansizingbecause the founder's mr left no diary about five letters and a few objects of no great value compared to her sons 54 volumes of published letters, there's not much evidence about his mother. it has either been a problem for a great move. she's been portrayed as players and saintly and far more persistently as a shrew fossil fish, illiterate, worst of all possibly a pipe smoker. a mother before her son's career and who george couldn't possibly care for although he would try and that was his dutiful side tried. not surprisingly, they've treated very as a satellite reflecting his wife not generating her own. but although they do occasionally criticized the choice is about other things that th

they sent a letter to andrew jackson saying we actually need support, these guys are not taking this seriously enough. don't you realize that every house has one of these potential killers and it called the houses of slaves, slaveholders everywhere. you could kill us anytime you want with this type of attack so there are people that are afraid and also people whose fear is different and i think for the slaveholders and one of the fears the slaveholders had is not the fear they will get there heads cut off but the one fear they have is that they will not be able to control the black population. they have complete control of the black population for slavery and you will see a hold on, what do we need to see and the interesting thing is and reconstruction the fear of blacks plays into social control , they drum up all the blacks raping a white woman in and go out and kill and make sure black stay in place and don't vote or whatever but then the fear doesn't work that way. the fear of the slaveholders is that if we get so afraid of blacks killing whites. there's nothing that can be done.
