and and and andrew jackson was military chief, military militia commander in tennessee. and he sent a report to congress, which every other word was misspelled usage was horrible. and quincy adams read the entire thing in front from congress. so that but but one thing you got to remember about mr. adams is nobody was more ambitious than he was. i mean, he. all the time he was in congress, he campaign for governor of massachusetts, campaigned the presidency. so politics being what it was when quincy adams ran in 24, he asked jackson to be his running mate. and louisa hill is hailed as famous ball in. their house which which became the talk of the town and was famous throughout the century. they the walls they took down the columns. they they had a a sand. as you walked in, there was a picture of the battle on. new orleans covering the floor. so, you know, quincy adams was not above trying to to to use jackson, but he regarded jackson. what what bothered him was was was the. what he believed be jackson's demagoguery. his appeal to people's worst. his he believed, moved tha

andrew jackson got a majority of the popular vote in the electoral vote, but not at and not a majority. he got the most, but he didn't get a majority. it was thrown into the view was thrown into the house with henry clay support and quincy adams, his presidency was not a disaster but an empty shell. quincy adams said -- was very much an andrew hamilton they believed in a strong federal government that would build roads into dowson reports and build an independent economy created national university and sponsor artistic and scientific inquiries but but this is aftere of 1819, downturn in everybody blamed the federal government that none of this legislation passed. , virtually none of it. his best-known achievement as president was to defend the charities you were being forcibly expelled from georgia. he failed but he he did his best to protect them. he and his father were, just politicians. they came from the link list -- new england federalist background believing in a public figure and turning out in droves to vote. how naÏve is that? and with the expansion comes in both of them were

it his hope in their private even andrew jackson. since the emotional reversal taking place inside the cherokee leader in a letter to an old war buddy. jackson called it despair. major ridge. john ridge and elias boudinot. what's the next three years? writing petitions, making speeches and trying convince their fellow cherokees to support a removal treaty removal to was the only option in which cherokees as a people and a nation would survive. did act in such emergencies as these for our private comfort. they wrote one letter. we choose to die here and bury our bones in the land of our fathers, where white people might desecrate our with the plowshare of the farmer. but when we think of our children, they pleaded, we will at all hazards, seek freedom in far regions of the west. on december 29th, 1835, the met in the home of elias, though an elected or appointed by the cherokee people, they signed their names to the of new a chota. unable to read or write in english, major ridge signed his name with an ax. he told the others. i have si

it the second one was who was andrew jackson. you will andrew jackson was president, the controversial president. and most popular answer michael's brother. when you have a new people to the electorate who, don't know anything about our history and don't even know much about pop culture, we're in trouble. and if our educational system doesn't get reform and doesn't get reform quickly, we're going to get what we which is going to primitive society because that's all we're going to be capable of doing. so i'm worried about. sure. and we took a lot of measures against china. that's why they've sanctioned me. there are other problems, too. russia, iran all these threats. but the one thing that's within immediate power to cure is the educational system. and if we don't get on with that, nothing else is going to make much difference longer. so that's both my optimistic thing. if we fix it and my pessimistic thing if we don't, then i was very encouraged. we were in austin yesterday. bunch two venture capital people who turned out to be

that paves the way the acquisition of florida, which is a policy basically pushed through by andrew jackson and and john quincy adams, who were political enemies for many years, but were allied in this effort. but we're getting past. so now i want to turn to current politics for a minute, because you are michael brown. but before i do that, i want to ask you if there's anything else about the book that we we haven't covered. you want to make sure you across to our audience? well, i think one of the things that fascinates me is is how contingent the success of the american revolution and the success of the american republic were on factor. is that were that could have easily gone the other way. i mean i you know mentioned about george washington doing a survey for lord fairfax that enables him to get a military command, which in turn him the obvious to command the forces and give us this man whose character insisted on giving up power and who, you know, was was a person who appreciated people of the talents, even though their opposition, they opposed each other of jefferson and hamilton and

andrew jackson yeah, so a little bit of andrew jackson what the vetoing of the right exactly got the vetoing of the means bill rhode sort of like some echoes of the bank we're here we see this come up and again in presidential history this idea that the president is like i've got the big picture idea. members of congress are just a little bit a little bit parochial and narrow in their vision but they also they have a tendency to come back and say maybe so. but this is what my constitu wants, want. and order to get a law passed. you need congress to vote on a president can't pass laws. and that's pretty much what happens with this water project. carter goes after it other democrats are mad and they end up cutting out about the projects. but it mostly, again, just kind of comes back on the administration that he's he's going these things that are important members of his own party and so he's legislating badly even as trying to do good government. this so i'm talking about inflation just kinofriefly here's a cover of time carter versus inflation. he's kind of taken on w new relevance a

the second party system had yet to be created and it was people like andrew jackson and henry clay and those guys and abraham lincoln. this was a moment of transition where the window was going to happen. the country was approaching its 50th anniversary and that was something of an achievement because everyone knew america was an experiment. that was the word that was often use. did the experiment worked and would we make it toto age 26? and with the values of the founding fathers were to continue on into the new generation? there was a lot of concern about that. even regardless of the sectionalism that were we continuing the story that we started in 1776. monroe invited lafayette under those circumstances that he was a figure of unity. some scholars will use the term a relic of the american revolution. in a positive sense not that he was president but he was a living reminder, a walking reminder of this and probably younger than some of the people here. he showed us the revolution revolution was still around. initially he only visited the 13 states from the colonies and the revolution

to andrew jackson. here's andrew jackson. even when he's talking about, vetoing the bank act 1932, basically talking about like questions about representation. right. he was a very popular populist, kind of talking about representing the will of the people. but is the will of the people. i'm not going to tell you, the polls. i can can capture that accurate, like for all the reasons we just talked about. right. but it's a hard problem. it's a problem. i don't think we can to walk away from because if we don't try to figure out what the people or kind of how we can try to do best to kind of figure out where we are as a people about political issues. right. and we leave that to kind of leads to kind of define those agendas that we could end up in. not terrifically great place. so what does that mean? right. so to wrap this up, like, how should you read the poll? like, how do i read the polls? the first thing that i do is i, i kind read them for fun, although it's a really perverse form of fun i guess. but like i, but i never, ev

and the second party system had yet to be created with people like andrew jackson and henry and those guys, and eventually abraham. so this was a moment of transition where no one knew what was going to happen the country. approaching its 50th anniversary and. that was something of an achievement because everyone knew america was an expert mean. that's the word that was often used. how would the experiment work? would we make it to 1826? and that also would the values of the founding fathers continue on in the generation? so there was a lot of concern about that even regardless of the sectionalism just were we continuing the story that we started in 1776 or so? monroe invited lafayette under. those circumstances that was a figure of unity he was a living and scholars will actually use this term relic of the american revolution as the positive sense that he was decrepit but that he was a living. remind you're a walking reminder in a sixties probably than some of the people here in audience and that he showed us that the revolution was still around initially he was to visit the 13 state

he forced them to stand in front of a painting of andrew jackson., i'm not certain he knows enough about history to know what he was doing, but the people around him knew exactly what he was doing to make those elders and those heroes stand in front of that painting was disgraceful. and i said that is how donald trump does things. tried to block expanding of casinos claiming that some tribes who were applying weren't truly native american. and he had a quote, if you remember if some of you have seen this where he testified in front of congress "they don't , look indian to me," that's what he said. and he said actually later, he said, "i think i got more indian blood than they do." now, he gets away with saying these things. let's name what that is. that is so damn racist and so unnecessary. and the idea that he would be president of the united states, this is about demeaning people. this is what he continues to do. [applause] and to all of you here, i think the one thing we know is all of the issues. and i think this is it, there are issues that imp

he took them to the white house and made them stand in front of a portrait of andrew jackson.booing] i don't know if he knows his history well enough to know what he was doing, but i damn sure guarantee you the people around him knew the insult they were throwing the indian country by making those heroes stand in front of that portrait. so just to be clear, donald trump showed his soul and i want to be clear, he goes further than that. he has opposed expanding the opportunities for casino operations by our native lands. and when they were applying for licenses, donald trump testified in front of congress and said they weren't truly native american. well, donald knew he looked at them. he said, they don't look indian. and then he went on to say, he, donald trump a direct quote has more indian blood than a lot of those so called indians. so his running mate once had a quote, he has a lot of these quotes. his running mate jd vance said, you know, the thing, the thing that people don't like about donald trump is the racist part of him. yeah. yeah, we don't really like that part of

i had a news conference and we had a news conference, a rope around andrew jackson's head, a beautifuliberty walked, i could see them walking. a certain part of the body. i said what a beautiful sight. that was the end, we have no problem until about a month or two ago in see when they became violent, fighting with police. putting spray paint on the beautiful alliance. they are sandstone spray paint for many years to come, you can't get it out, goes deep into the best of my knowledge, nothing happened to them. they were beating the cops up or that the cops were beating them up but they were fighting.

done in north carolina and pennsylvania in advance of that year's presidential election between andrew jacksonnd john quincy adams. election polls have this deep root in the united states and it is reflective of the interest in wanting to know what is going to happen, how things will turn out. it is a basic human instinct. the mission of election polls essentially is that they try to offer an accurate picture of the state of the race, what is likely to happen. many posters say we do not predict outcomes. we are just getting estimates. maybe they should write the prediction value of polls more broadly. nonetheless, there is a reluctance among how many posters say we are predicting versus offering estimates. if they are offering estimates, many posters still pat themselves on the back when they get it right and they come close. there are posters who claim to be the best active poster in the last five elections. there is this degree of self-congratulation when they get it right or get close to getting it right. it is prediction but they do not like to say this much. host: what you said struck me.

it is the statue of andrew jackson that says, the federal union must be preserved.e is writing to the future president describing a meeting with abraham lincoln and citing this example of unity. it also shows that kind of relationship between them. he's getting a dig in on his wife. my southern wife, read this to our son. i just found that fascinating from a psychological standpoint. it was a real insight to their relationship and the mythos that he would have grown up with . i mentioned before that we are very fortunate that alice roosevelt wrote letters that detailed the love between them are not available. they were donated in the 1980s and they were extraordinary. theodore roosevelt writing these phrases, there is nothing but you and underlining nothing whatever to her. he loved this woman so deeply and profoundly. there was never any evidence of it. historian could not say that definitively and there it is. now you can see it in his own hand. >> what a wonderful book. you found things like these letters but also such great insight. i'm sure you will all want to

for those who don't know a name, for andrew jackson higgins, who had a plant opposite new orleans at algiers on the mississippi river, who designed and invented and built these by the tens thousands. these are the you all see and these are the ones at the drop front ramp. they're very disposable, almost like tissues because you can get one use out of them, maybe two by the third time around their wreck. but they're driven by navy crews and, navy crew of three, a coxswain and two machine gunners. and that coxswain, unlike the guys down there in a, you know below the thought line waiting shore throwing up on their boots, the coxswain standing up at the back, driving that boat and not once, but twice. and then three times. and then four times. so i think navy connections are sometimes underappreciated for role that they played in the landing. thank you for that question. okay. any more from naturally as far away as you can get in the far. also. i'll ask one halfway through. all right. that's good. how did they clean up the mess as the battle was going on? it's been a long junkyard along

so when i get home, you can repeat it to me and it's statue of andrew jackson that stands outside the white house to this day. and it says the federal union. it must be preserved. that's extraordinary, right? i mean this is he's writing to the future president of the united states describing meeting with abraham lincoln and, citing this example, unity of the country. and it also shows that kind of relationship between miti and thi where he's getting a dig in at his wife. i read that my southern wife read this to our son so can the federal union. it must be preserved so. i just found that fast amazing from a psychological standpoint. it was a real insight into their relationship and to the the myth and the mythos that theodore roosevelt have grown up with. and then i mentioned before that we're very fortunate that alice longworth's granddaughter donated 24 letters that detail the love between and theodore. we're not available to mccullough. we're not available to more as they were donated in the 1980s to harvard, and they're extraordinaire. i mean, theodore roosevelt writing these phra

fringe group in, the 1830s, but the government and the post also and this includes president andrew jacksonas well and they kind of recognize they're in a difficult they don't to be seen to be censoring free expression of ideas. they don't want to get into the business of determining which ideas can be transmitted. the us mail and which cannot. and so they kind of fudged and had a little bit and the official perspective. so they come up with a couple of different. one of them at first is to say, okay, we'll just like the states decide, even though the us post office is, a national institution, that didn't really fly, their solution they ended up with also was a fudge was to say okay we'll transfer this mail down to the southern post offices because charleston wasn't the only one but we will not proactively deliver it to the people to whom it's addressed unless, they come and ask for it. so was a way of in their minds going around that dilemma where they didn't want to deliver it but they also didn't want to refuse to accept that. oh yeah, thank you for a great speech. you could you comment

and from the c-span archives, his in and author andrew jackson o'shaughnessy had this to say about of the so-called smear tactics from the election of 1800 and jefferson described his opponents as monarchy rats. monarchy and aristocrats. he said he was representing the spirit of 1776. this is how one of his newspapers described john adams a hideous hammer, a different hermaphroditic character, which is over the false and firmness of man, nor gentleness and sensibility. a woman. they nicknamed john adams, the duke of braintree or his lord rotunda, because it was regarded so pompous, and it has to be said, was obsessed with what titles should be used in america and utterly disapproved of the idea that we would talk about mr. president rather than his excellency. there were stories was circulated that was trying to marry one of his sons while he was ambassador in britain to one of george two thirds daughters. and indeed, adams had got along very well with george at third and later reprimanded when they correspondent late in life he reprimanded jefferson for calling george the third a tyr
