I was born for a storm and a calm does not suit me.
~ Andrew Jackson
Andrew Jackson was one of our nation's most successful and most controversial Presidents. He had fiercely loyal supporters who would do anything for him and enemies that did everything in their power to destroy him. Jackson is our driving force behind our Conflict in the West Unit. In order to have a better understanding of Jackson's Presidency we are going to look at Jackson's early years and the origins of his political views.
In class we are going to be viewing segments of the PBS Documentary Good, Evil, & The Presidency. Here is a link to the documentary online. Today we watched the sections: Introduction and Wild Young Man.
Today's handout that goes with the Video.
