The Vice-Presidents The Presidents EA Contents JOHN C. CALHOUN Biography John Caldwell Calhoun, (1782-1850), kal-hoon', American statesman and political philosopher. From 1811 until his death he served in the federal government, successively as congressman, secretary of war, VICE PRESIDENT , senator, secretary of state, and again as senator. Always he was at the heart of the issues of his time, notably the nullification crisis and the conflict over slavery. Loyal to his nation, to his state of South Carolina, and, above all, to his principles, he sought to preserve the union while advancing Southern interests. Early Career Born in Abbeville district, S.C., on March 18, 1782, Calhoun grew up in an atmosphere of controversy and social change. The extension of cotton culture was bringing slavery into the up-country, where small farmers like his father were challenging the political dominance of the low-country planters. Calhoun was largely self-educated before he entered Yale as a junior in 1801. He graduated with honors in 1804; went on to law school, in Litchfield, Conn.; and was admitted to the South Carolina bar in 1807. Practicing in his native district, he quickly gained the reputation that took him to the state legislature. There, from 1809 to 1811, he helped establish an enduring balance of power between South Carolina's tidewater planters and piedmont farmers.

Inaugural Address Quick Facts The Presidents NBK Contents ANDREW JACKSON Biography Andrew Jackson made such a lasting impression upon his times that the period when he was PRESIDENT is usually called the Age of Jackson or the Era of Jacksonian Democracy. As the victor in the battle of New Orleans, during the War of 1812, he was one of the nation's most famous military heroes. As president he stood for equality of opportunity for the common man, for the right of ordinary Americans to better themselves. The average American responded by taking a far more active interest in politics than ever before. When Jackson was first inaugurated, in 1829, one admirer wrote, "It was a proud day for the peopleGeneral Jackson is their own president!" Jackson's hardiness when marching with his troops and his unwavering devotion to their welfare led them to nickname him Old Hickory. The name stuck and well fitted Jackson's vigor and determination as president. A visitor to the White House in 1832 wrote of him, "In person he was tall, slim and straight. ... His head was long, but narrow, and covered with thick grey hair that stood erect, as though impregnated with his defiant spirit; his brow was deeply furrowed, and his eye ... was one to 'threaten and command.' ... His whole being conveyed an impression of energy and daring." Early Years Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767, in the Waxhaw settlement on what was then the frontier of South Carolina. His parents, Andrew and Elizabeth (Hutchinson) Jackson, were immigrants from Northern Ireland. Young Jackson's father had died a few days before his birth, and he was raised, with two older brothers, by his widowed mother, who lived with relatives. He acquired some schooling and grew up a tall, lanky boy with reddish sandy hair and a quick temper.

But this August dignity I treat of, is not the dignity of kings and robes, but that abounding dignity which has no robed investiture. Thou shalt see it shining in the arm that wields a pick or drives a spike; that democratic dignity which, on all hands, radiates without end from God; Himself! The great God absolute! The centre and circumference of all democracy! His omnipresence, our divine equality! If, then, to meanest mariners, and renegades, and castaways, I shall hereafter ascribe high qualities, though dark...then against all mortal critics bear me out in it, thou just Spirit of Equality, which hast spread one royal mantle of humanity over all my kind! Bear me out in it, thou great democratic God!...Thou who didst pick up Andrew Jackson from the pebbles; who didst hurl him upon a war-horse; who didst thunder him higher than a throne! Thou who, in all Thy mighty, earthly marchings, ever cullest Thy selectest champions from the kingly commons; bear me out in it, O God! Herman Melville

Apperson Despite his meager background and his disadvantaged youth, Andrew Jackson became one of the great men of his age. Of the Presidents of the United States in the nineteenth century whose contributions continue to be a living part of the fabric of American life in the twenty-first, three ought to be remembered as towering above the others: Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. Each was a complex personality whose intellectual and political sagacity still challenges the historian and biographer. Jefferson and Lincoln have their splendid memorials in Washington and their monumental images grace Mt. Rushmore; but Jackson is missing. Perhaps it is because he epitomized the heroic potential of the average man and the average man is rarely awarded public monuments.

FRtR Presidents Andrew Jackson > A brief biography > Eviction of Indians, Taking of Florida (8/22) Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) 7th President of the United States 1829 - 1837 A brief biography Index Previous Next Eviction of Indians, Taking of Florida In the next few years, Jackson continued to serve as Major General over much of the south-east, with a salary of $2,400 a year and $1,652 in expenses. His staff lived with him, including Sam Houston, the future hero of Texas, and John Eaton (to be heard from later). The main military activity at that time was the driving of Indians out of lands which white Americans were pouring into, or were about to pour into. Sometimes there was the justification of Indian raids and massacres; sometimes not. One such affair, the First Seminole War, resulted in U.S. acquisition of Florida. Spain was fighting a losing battle against revolutions in South America. Florida was mostly a vast swampland, and, being separated from the rest of the Spanish territory, it just caused a dispersal of military manpower. Added to the U.S. however, it would make borders tidier and more defensible, largely preventing, for example, the sort of north-south pincer movement the British tried in 1814. Also the Seminole Indians straddled the Florida-Georgia border, and they could and did make crossbred raids, retreating to the other side when pursued. Another reason Spanish Florida was seen as a danger by the U.S. was that it contained a fort, inhabited by escaped slaves who, it was felt, encouraged other slaves to run away to its safety. The fort was blown up in 1816, killing 270.

96. 5 Black Presidents andrew jackson was our 7th president from 1829 to 1837. Joel Rogers says that andrewjackson Sr. died long before president andrew jackson Jr. was born. http://www.geocities.com/cureworks1/5blkpres.htm

Computer Underground Railroad Enterprises ... Contact 5 BLACK PRESIDENTS From the Book Their Place In World History By: Dr. Leroy Vaughn The Five Black Presidents of The United States Of America Thomas Jefferson Andrew Jackson Abraham Lincoln WHO IS NEXT? Warren Harding Calvin Coolidge Joel A. Rogers and Dr. Auset Bakhufu have both written books documenting that at least five former presidents of the United States had Black people among their ancestors. If one considers the fact that European men far outnumbered European women during the founding of this country, and that the rape and impregnation of an African female slave was not considered a crime, it is even more surprising that these two authors could not document Black ancestors among an ever larger number of former presidents. The president’s names include Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding, and Calvin Coolidge. The best case for Black ancestry is against Warren G. Harding , our 29th president from 1921 until 1923. Harding himself never denied his ancestry. When Republican leaders called on Harding to deny the "Negro" history, he said, "How should I know whether or not one of my ancestors might have jumped the fence." William Chancellor, a White professor of economics and politics at Wooster College in Ohio, wrote a book on the Harding family genealogy and identified Black ancestors among both parents of President Harding. Justice Department agents allegedly bought and destroyed all copies of this book. Chancellor also said that Harding's only academic credentials included education at Iberia College, which was founded in order to educate fugitive slaves.
