The first president born after America's independence ushers in a new era of democracy
Dive deep into the political life of the first president born after America's independence. Martin Van Buren, skillfully crafted by Ted Widmer, a veteran of the Clinton White House, brings to life an era of no-holds-barred democracy. The story unfolds with the rise of Martin Van Buren, characterized as the first 'professional politician,' a man with stark contrast to his rugged and democratic champion predecessor, Andrew Jackson.
From his role as a U.S. senator to secretary of state, and then vice president under Jackson, his path to the Oval Office seems inevitable. Van Buren's presidency, however, is a stark shift from his political victories, marred with conflicts and the undeniable impact of the great banking panic of 1837.
This deep look into one of America's most contentious political eras will offer an enlightening insight into the power of democracy. Whether you're a history enthusiast or a student of political science, this narrative offers an invaluable perspective into our democratic roots.
