Description
This text provides a superb overview of the contributions of each of the first 7 presidents, Washington through Andrew Jackson. This Founding Era, when the United States built upon its founding principles, was affected by major events and major personalities. In each section, the writers overview the upbringing, life, and legacy of each president, while highlighting significant events and challenges that occurred during each presidential term. Additionally, the writers will evaluate whether these men were “good presidents” and particularly, how their administration built upon or detracted from the Constitution. Details and discussion are interesting and balanced, but will discuss (with decorum) the good, the bad, and the ugly. Such controversial topics which challenged our Republic include the slave trade, native wars, the XYZ Affair, Monroe Doctrine, Jackson’s Kitchen Cabinet, and the Indian Removal Act. Use this as a spine to provide a solid overview of early US history. For those who desire, the authors provide a significant number of endnotes for your further study. 452 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
