Avenging the People: Andrew Jackson, the Rule of Law, and the American Nation
Opal, J. M. (Associate Professor of History, Associate Professor of History, McGill University)
The most powerful American of his time, Andrew Jackson saw himself as the people's "great avenger." Yet his ideas also limited the people's sovereignty, imposing one kind of law to inflict one sort of "justice." Drawing from new evidence about Jackson and the southern frontiers, Avenging the People boldly reinterprets the man and his age.
