Meer over het boek
While summarizing the highlights of the Jacksonian era, Remini admits that Jackson was more a symbol than a cause of the rising American democratic forces of the period. He shows how Jackson was ahead of his time in suggesting certain political reforms: elimination of the electoral college, a one-term presidency, and four-year terms for U.S. senators. Remini also describes Jackson's program of removing the Indians west of the Mississippi River, his position on slavery, and the powerful urge to reform and improve society and the conditions developing from an increasingly industrial and materialistic nation.
