Only as Americans could awaken and nurture a corresponding independence of manners and opinion would the Revolution be completed and a proper foundation for the Republic established. According to Cremin (1980), The goal was nothing less than a new republican individual, of virtuous character, abiding patriotism, and prudent wisdom, fashioned by education into an independent yet loyal citizen. The citizens of the United States would need, however, to be educated in the values and responsibilities necessary for national cohesion and survival. The home, job, and church all played a greater role in education than did the schools (Barr, Barth, and Shermis 1977). The majority of Americans at this time were uneducated. The year 1783 marked the end of the American Revolution and set this country on a path as the "United" States of America. To tell the saga of Jackson's presidency, acclaimed author Jon Meacham goes inside the Jackson White House. Democracy made its stand in the Jackson years, and he gave voice to the hopes and the fears of a restless, changing nation facing challenging times at home and threats abroad. Jackson's election in 1828 ushered in a new and lasting era in which the people, not distant elites, were the guiding force in American politics. Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the nation to his will in the cause of democracy. The definitive biography of a larger-than-life president who defied norms, divided a nation, and changed Washington forever Andrew Jackson, his intimate circle of friends, and his tumultuous times are at the heart of this remarkable book about the man who rose from nothing to create the modern presidency.
