Product Description

It was the Era of Good Feelings, but all was not well with the young Republic. From 1825 to 1849, presidents John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, and James K. Polk grappled with the legacy of the Monroe Doctrine, Indian removal, territorial expansion, the National Bank, tariffs, economic depressions, War with Mexico, near war with Great Britain, and the place of slavery in the growing nation.

As one would expect from confident citizens of the burgeoning young country, conflicting arguments swirled around the hot-button issues of the day. This rich resource of primary documents enables students to read these arguments first hand, and feel the passions and study the logic driving their often forceful positions.

All of the primary documents are annotated and placed into historical context. A thorough index concludes the work.

A FIRST WORD WITH THE READER.

Life is ever the greatest teacher. The story
of great men is of absorbing interest, not only
to youth but to thinking men at every stage of
their lives. The political biographer is not
likely to make much of the personal religious
character of the man the story of whose
political honor and ambitious career he
seeks to narrate. So that it often happens that
a public man whose religious life was most de-
vout and who drew the nourishment for his
most splendid deeds from the hidden springs
of worship and communion with God, stands
in the eye of the multitude as an unknown
quantity religiously. It has been the purpose
of the author in these chapters to present in the
case of the score of men and women whose
lives are studied the religious side of their
career. Such information has been sought
from every quarter available, and is presented
in a way which it is hoped will picture the
truthful and helpful Christian personality of
each character portrayed.
