pro jackson cartoon. remember the hydra of corruption, jackson going up against that financial beast and, well, jackson, it's a hard campaign for jackson. nicholas biddle flexes his muscle. nicholas biddle on behalf of the bank gives henry clay a $50,000 campaign donation. quite a lot of money for those days. not only that, but the bank for years already has been funding and loaning money to newspapers all across the country and that press, that press all of a sudden and a couple months before the election just piling on to jackson. things look really bad. jackson what's he going to do? is he going to win? things don't look so good, but jackson is confident. jackson is confident and in the midst of this trial jackson says, quote, the bank is trying to kill me, but i will kill it, jackson says. i will kill it, and, well, what happens? the election occurs, election day comes about, victory for jackson. jackson wins the election in a landslide. clay wins four -- excuse me -- five states, jackson takes the bu

jackson says, clay says. jackson says, no, you're mad! i can't believe you're doing this, jackson. jackson looks at clay, oh, yeah. clay, how many times are you going to run for president, clay, huh? two times? three times, four times? five times? how many times does a guy lose, clay, before you realize that you can't win. you can't win, clay. clay is out of his mind. can't believe this is going on. you're bluffing, clay says. oh, i'm not bluffing, mr. clay. i'm not bluffing. i'm going to take this bank down if it's the last thing i do, believe me, i'm going to do it. clay does not believe jackson. congress is an uproar, all of a sudden, what is going to happen? should we side with clay? should we side with jackson? should the bank be rechartered. the number one issue on everyone's mind. and jackson has some enemies, not just clay, but the president of the bank himself, nicholased biel -- biddle. a man who really could not be more opposite from andrew jackson. they shared something in common. they were both very determined, very stubborn and bull-headed. but biddle was extremely we

jackson born here in 1767. his father died just a couple weeks before jackson was born, so he never knew his father, but was raised with his mother and two brothers in an aunt and uncle's home and many ways treated somewhat like a serve ant. that contributed to his somewhat extreporous nature. but he was born on the frontier. the first president not from one of the virginia aristocrat tick families or from massachusetts. was largely self-taught and his ability to communicate and express his ideas grew over the course of his life. he was a very forceful writer, very direct, not unlike his speaking voice as we're told. still not necessarily eloquent, but a very forceful and writer with greater clarity as his life went on. the two panels that you are seeing here are talking about the origins of the war of 1812 and that war gave jackson the opportunity to put himself on to the national stage. before 1812 jackson had achieved a level of prominence in tennessee. he actually helped to write the first tennessee state c

of andrew jackson. the parallels are interesting and i think they are mostly stylistic. if you look at the rhetoric, for example. jackson at that time was a loose cannon. he was hot tempered. he could prove a bit stubborn on many points. there was one instance in 1834. henry clay, a senator at the time, there was a movement by the senate to censure president jackson. as a result jackson said that clay was as reckless as a drunken man in a brothel. you could imagine trump saying something similar, in a tweet. at the end of jackson's presidency, he said he had two regrets. that he didn't shoot henry clay and hang john c calhoun. did he mean that literally? probably not. but there is a stylistic consistency. a lot of trump's positions share more with the whig party. it was the whig party that supported tariffs. it was the whig party that supported using federal money for infrastructure, which president trump has talked a lot about. between the two groups, the whig party was more likely to harbor nativism.

andrew jackson center. about the life of andrew jackson is born for the storm. it's the largest most expensive exhibit we have done on his life in our 127 years at the museum. the title comes from a jackson quote. the full quote is, i was born for a storm and the calm to -- did not suit me, which could not better encapsulate the life of andrew jackson. we have entered into the exhibit and i am standing next to the model of two log buildings here for a specific purpose. the smaller of the buildings is reminiscent of the kind of house jackson may have been born in in south carolina in 1767. what's interesting about this is the larger log building next to it that has opened up to see the inside are two buildings here at the hermitage. the larger building is the one that andrew and rachel lived in for the first 17 years that they owned hermitage. it was built in 19 -- 19 -- 1797. the smaller building andrew and rachel built after they moved here in 1804, half of it was the kitchen for the log house. the other h

jackson's popularity was so great that if you had jackson endorsing you or to get a bill passed and you had jackson's endorsement, very lickkely it would pass. there was a constant flow of people. it was a very busy room. these are bound newspapers that he saved. he was kind of a political junkie. he subscribed to 16 different newspapers and had a number of them bound. these have his marginal notes. adjacent to that is his bedroom that's very personal. all the furniture is original. the wall paper is original. the fabrics are reproduction of the day he died. even his dead room slippers and dressing gown are in the room. it's a very personal day. it's a room he died in on june 8th of 1845. sam how son was very close to jackson and much like a son to him. they traveled from texas to nashville. they arrive a couple hours after jackson arrives. the visual is so great. the family is clustered around the bed. sam houston is holding this little boy up over the heads of the family so he could say he had seen the face of andrew jackson. i hope people visit the hermitage and lee having a better u

should we side with jackson? from andrew jackson. they say it's a very determined, very bull headed didn't have a college education. >>> gives henry clay a $50,000 campaign donation. quite a lot of money for those days. not only that but the bank, for years already has been funding and loaning money to newspapers all across the country. and that press, that press, all of a sudden a couple of months before the election, just piling on to jackson. things look really bad. jackson, what's he going to do? what's he going to do? is he going to win? things don't look so good but jackson is confidence. jackson is confidence and in the midst of this trial jackson says, quote, the bank is trying to kill me but i will kill it, jackson says. i will kill it. and well what happens? the election occurs, election day comes about, victory for jackson. jackson wins the election in a landslide. clay wins five states. jackson takes the bulk of the states. you will notice south carolina refuses to vote for jackson in the middle of that nullification cris

katie lamar jackson: right. the americans in the camp included you and your special forces team, but also the might forced him. would you like to talk about the might forced? they sent to: reinforced teams. at the time, we had a team -- are 12 man team was down to nine. --force might forced made it the tent american there. with that, there were seven might forced that came in and they arrived three days before the attack. katie lamar jackson: so they were fresh on the ground. bennie adkins: they were. they were. this is what they did for support, support other troops during the battle. katie lamar jackson: right. so, the battle goes on for 38 hours and a lot of casualties. bennie adkins: yes. katie lamar jackson: the losses of a lot of men both on their side and on your side. you were manning, as i recall, a gun. at that time my and --n was a mortar with an 81 millimeter mortar. this was an indirect weapon. frame i utilize my machine gun. i had two or three rifles. that, today,n would not be authorized or utiliz

the result was that jackson won. about two weeks after he was declared the victor rachel suffered either a stroke or a heart attack and died five days later. what you see here in the display case is avail that was being made for her by a group of her friends that were put in a wardrobe together for her to take to washington and coaching her. technically she was never first lady. one of the things i am particularly proud about is that we pride ourselves on telling the whole story. there is nothing that we shy away from. we have a policy that says we embrace controversies. jackson have nothing but controversies if you will. the one that i think most people are aware of is jackson and native american removal. the relationship between native americans and european americans had always been a touchy one starting from the founding of the country. jackson ended up being the guy who pushed native american removal as part of his program as president. the majority of the country and congress approved indian removal. there were

and you posed the question, where does jackson fit in on that and of those three, we can give jackson the primitive rage leg of that stool. it's pretty clear he is at odds with schlessinger on the importance of jacksonian democracy in that regard. >> you say he's at odds with schlessinger. the points we outlined scle schlessing schlessinger, where is he not at odds with him? first of all, schlessinger, you have jacksonian democracy forming in the crucible of eastern cities, the place where class conflict needs to form. where different classes are in close proximity to each other. you have that, with rogen, takes place in the west, the story about the americans venting their primitive rage towards the west. finding where they can express their feelings of child omnipotence, make claims to paternal authority. it's all about moving west. it's not what turner said. it's not like a safety valve for economics, but a psychological economic valve, expanding west this promise out here can distract you from the actual problems facing capitalism back on the east. jacksonians are looking very muc

will name it after jackson. that escapes -- you then have a name and you can stop there and say it is the age of jackson. >> it's a powerful presence. he expands executive authority. he stands down the location. he needs his do at some level. i would have voted for quincy adams over jackson. in terms of presidents who got things done, jackson. >> we have done something remarkable. we've managed to talk about the age of jackson and jacksonian democracy for two hours. we have and mentioned folktale. i think one could make an argument that part of the origin , aside from the historians compulsion to find a theme, find something to fit it altogether, the idea that this was a democratic age and there was something unique about it comes from tocqueville. not for the record tocqueville celebrated american democracy in the way a lot of americans may think he did but he did say it was distinctive. one way to elevate ourselves out of a morris of complexity and say, is there something distinctive to the united states and t

here again, jackson says it's not clear - it's not clear what jackson wanted. but we can infer he wanted to for pressure on mexico. >> he wants to debate this. gains sent u.s. troops into northeast texas. it was in the theory he was protecting american citizens. most of the battles between texas and mexico were in southern toxic -- texas. >> once again, gaines became the subject of jackson's i -- eye. the secretary said gaines, why are you sending troops into texas? >> he replied, i thought you wanted me to make an impression. >> that's not the impression we wanted you to make, we don't want it in the newspapers! and gains -- gaines was an impetuous guy so there was definitely fault on his side. >> and all of these cases show jackson put generals and difficult situations, denying them troops, the authority, or autonomy. first saying, here is the mission and then trying to micromanage their performance. >> than he would condemn them for not being aggressive like clinch and scott, or being too aggressive like wool and gaines. jackson and his henchmen were critici

why does he say andrew jackson. but for andrew jackson, indian policy would have taken different turn. you come up with a similar result. it would have been perhaps significantly different. because they were two different -- two different approaches. >> it would have taken a different turn. thinking out loud here. had the indians not been removed, not been -- not been all the other things, removed is a nice euphemism for it before andrew jackson, if i understand correctly and maybe i don't what we're kind of bringing up here is a tension between the individual explanation and the national explanation. to what extent are jackson's characteristics is his mind set and his actions genuinely typical or reflective of what the whole country is or what extent is it just him? have i got that question right? so would it have been different and certainly in some immediate short term ways, yes. but if we're going to argue that it is jackson, then we got to explain what -- why in a larger sense indian white relations looked pret

for the 25th anniversary he presented it to jackson. has been here since 1840 and has moved around the house. we think the dining room is the appropriate place but it was made out of hickory because jackson's name was old hickory. to me the two most significant rooms in the house i jackson's bedroom and his adjoining library. to me that is the beating heart of the house. the library was really a political epicenter if you will even though we are 800 or 900 miles from washington and his retirement years jackson never wanted to give up being president so from that room he is continually firing off letters to subsequent presidents and people in congress who supported him to make sure that they were following through on policies or laws that he had pushed through while he was president. his popularity was so great that if you had jackson endorsing you to run for president or any elected office or to get a bill passed and he had his endorsement likely pass. there was constant people coming here to gain support. today there's so many personal

today, in jackson, mississippi, i was honored to have the young people from parkland, florida in jackson, mississippi. please give them a round of applause. [applause] i'm tremendously proud of these young people, because they remind me of one of my favorite quotes. from a revolutionary, a ,sychologist, a great author dr. franz fanon. mustote, "each generation discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it." we see people across the nation, like the kids in parkland, florida, who are daring to come up with -- take up that call. young people who no longer want people to speak to them. they want to speak for themselves. we must take this energy and allretize it, concretize it around the nation. in the deep south, where there is opportunity for democrats to win. [applause] organize. fromit from the mystical, the mysterious. and identify what our message must be. iswe see, a country which gripped with school shootings from coast-to-coast, we have to speak to the uncomfortable truths of what gun violence looks like in our nation. and as a black man, i long for the day where i have as many rig

let me first ask about jackson hole. kuroda is not going, draghi is not going, but it is the most important news to look forward to over the next 24 hours, over the weekend. what do you expect? i got really bad news and i hate to disappoint you, but i am not sure jackson hole will be very interesting. it hasn't caused a big moving u.s. yield since operation twist was announced in 2011. nearly seven years without a big reaction from jackson hole. that said, the one reason people are a little excited apart from not much else going on, is because of the large treasury shorts out there. this has not been going well for a while and yield has been drifting lower. it doesn't look like any hawkish talk can get them higher and --ple are worried there a there may be a change in the position. if so, it spills over to many other markets. even though jackson hole is not likely to surprise, you need to keep an eye on it. guy: mark, this is a weird one. donald trump apparently offered to buy btp's when he met with conti at the white ho

from pop icon a budding musical on the late michael jackson. levy collection fantastic moment photography by your honolulu. and easy rider you're going to is a loyal holland fan from the very hour. the king of pop is back michael jackson would have turned sixty this week to honor him the musical beat it to celebrates its were premiere on the same day just a few days before there was a lot of publicity for the musical him berlin well the flash mob some two hundred fifty people danced like michael jackson outside the city attack and they even set a new world records so the king of pop lives on after his death in the hearts of the fans and in the new musical beat it we were invited to join the rehearsal. before i leave the dress one night i test subconscious that tell myself i am michael jackson and it's not a self belief it's just a conviction that i have to carry on to stage so i try my best that's all you can do is really push yourself to say this is how michael would have done it. if. one of the most successful artists of all time the late gre

when can something like that come to jackson. there was no a sit in in jackson. i was fearful for my mother that if i acted independently without support our end up like in the till. it's a great possibility that that would happen. he have a make the decision like miss travis is talking about. i'm ago get arrested he did that in new orleans. and then breast -- bus rides into jackson. if you were a freedom writer from jackson. i was a pretty hard decision to make. and this is what jesse told me about the night he got arrested. i went to down to blair methodist church. i heard james bevil speak. they were saying things like you know guys if you want to change things in mississippi you've got to take an active role. their other actions that we are and a half to take. this is the initial one. our citizens and want to want to be involved in this. they like the way they are living. now back to jesse. i heard that from barnett before. he said look we have to go. yes we have to go but i want to think about it. we got in the car with fred. and we drove down to the railway

jackson's cabin was open. this guy came in, and jackson doesn't know the guy. the guy says a few words to him about how he has been insulted, and then he does something to jackson. if you read about in the papers at the time, it says he thrust his hand into jackson's face. when i read this, i said, what the devil is that about? you can't find anyone who describes what kind of assault this was. it turns out it was a nose pulling. the way you show contempt for someone, if you are not dueling with them and you want to show you are superior, you show contempt for their nose. if you ask, what is the most important part of their body at this time? you would say the genitals, right? wrong. it's not the genitals. it's the nose. this unlocks the whole thing. you can go back and read the stories they are writing and telling each other. noses are important. you have come across this. what is the pinocchio story? it comes out of a culture of honor. every time he tells a lie, his nose grows. does anyone know cyrano de bergerac? in both of those things, someone with a large

by him and challenged jackson to a dual appeared jackson's -- to a dual. jackson's response was you are a stranger in the town, i am not knowal with you, i don't you're standing, if we exchange shops, i am admitting you are my equal. i'm not going to shoot you to make you my equal unless i know who you are, and the rules of dueling said don't dual with a stranger. then it is a standoff good the guy who -- a standoff. the guy who challenges jackson could have called him a coward. if the community relieved it, he is a coward. would suffer -- he social death and have to leave the community. but jackson was so well known that the guy he rejects, he gets letters from friends outside the community trying to prove he is a man of honor and social standing. tobrings these things jackson, isn't this amazing? it's like letters of reference to fight a dual. he knows social death is at stake and jackson says, it is not good enough. jackson had the power to do that. if the community goes along, that is it. the story is over, you have to leave town, the way that student

we are waiting for jay powell to speak at jackson hole. there is an added political dimension and flavor to what is going on in wyoming. to flag what is going on in the price of a barrel of crude because we are up by .8% this morning. , first weekly gain in two weeks. a host of factors suggesting slightly tighter supply, whether it is u.s. sanctions on iran that are pending. all of that adding up to a fairly positive week for the oil price. we are putting in the australian dollar of ours because based on our headlines, we have been vertical shift within the liberal party in australia. the continuity candidate beating off the right-wing challenge. by .5llar bounces up percent or so. it was up by .6% earlier and down by 1.4% in yesterday's session. we are ready for jackson hole. nejra: we are already waiting for that speech from jerome powell. with that in mind, i wanted to show the curve, dead simple. we continue to the relentless flattening. 20 basis points, hitting that for the first time since 2007. those. it in fresh cycle i wanted to b

you look at jackson, his faith was total. he would not drink a glass of water without thinking god for the gift of water -- thanking god for the gift of water. cadets would come in, he would helpis head and ask god to them, teach the men to beat better -- be better in the power he spent with them. if i did that today the aclu would be on the like termites in heat. withe away from that study an in vehicle love for his -- inviable love for his faith. peter: i consider it the study of confederate history. some question whether it is necessary. whether we should expose young minds to the confederate past. i want you to explain to the audience why should we continue to read about the confederate past, the impetus you, about stonewall jackson. why is it important for us to know this man? dr. robertson: it is important to us to know these people because the civil war solved two problems. one, it solved the issue of slavery. second, it solved the issue of federalism. governmentower of goes, where it stays and where it stops. it puts

romaine: let's get back to jackson hole now. mester gave us her take on raising rates and her take on the yield curve. for raising interest rates i think is compelling. we have an economy growing above , and, lower unemployment inflation basically at our goal of 2%. we have been trying to engineer, calibrate our policy path to the so this gradual increase in rates seems to be a very compelling case now, given that we are accommodative some. michael: do you think the market gets that and the chairman does not need to steer us? will be talking about some long run issues as well as short run issues, and i'm looking forward to his speech. you think in september you drop the accommodative sentence from your statement and forward guidance? that weinutes mention are thinking about how we want to change the statement. we look at the statement every time to make sure that we are being transparent about our views on policy and gives an indication on where policy is going. -- we are in a situation where we are data dependent and we want to

jackson wasn't alone, though.ive republicans, who we have been studying, also blasted the policy of detente in 1974 and 1975. conservative intellectuals and activists like william buckley, the editor and founder of "the national review," warned that proponents of detente were falling for fake soviet overtures and in turn making agreements like the s.a.l.t. agreement that would weaken the united states. the new letter, the report, talked about the, quote, fraud of detente. by 1975 president ford was starting to back down from his staunch support of this policy. under nixon, the administration had undertaken the policy of vietnamization, which had combined an intense secret bombing campaign and a gradual withdrawal of troops from vietnam. the problem for ford was that the strategy didn't work. and the aftermath was going to be a political problem for the president. the south was falling to communism after this long and devastating war. the fall of south vietnam to communism in 1975 and the unification of vietnam was
