A bold reinterpretation of John C. Calhoun’s
political philosophy, emphasizing the depth and originality behind his theories.
George Dangerfield. The Era of Good Feelings
(1952).
An older book, but so well written and informative
that it deserves is status as a classic. All students will enjoy this grand
overview.
Angie Debo. And Still the Waters Run: The
Betrayal of the Five Civilized Tribes (1940; reprint, 1972).
A classic work by one of America’s most talented
and sensitive historical writers, a truly engaging history of this tragic sequence
of events.

Jacksonian America, 1815-1846 (1991).
A far-reaching reassessment of economics and
politics during this period focusing on the rise of the market economy and the
responses, both positive and negative, that led to the rise of Jacksonian democracy.
John William Ward. Andrew Jackson: Symbol
for an Age (1955).
More a study of American culture during the
age of Jackson than a biography of the man himself, Ward seeks to explain Old
Hickory’s status as a living myth during his own time and as a continuing monument
in American history.
Anthony F. C. Wallace. The Long, Bitter
Trail: Andrew Jackson and the Indians (1993).
An account of Jackson’s Indian policy and its
impact on Native people by a leading anthropologist.
