Book excerpt: The first president born after America's independence ushers in a new era of no-holds-barred democracy The first "professional politician" to become president, the slick and dandyish Martin Van Buren was to all appearances the opposite of his predecessor, the rugged general and Democratic champion Andrew Jackson. Van Buren, a native Dutch speaker, was America's first ethnic president as well as the first New Yorker to hold the office, at a time when Manhattan was bursting with new arrivals. A sharp and adroit political operator, he established himself as a powerhouse in New York, becoming a U.S. senator, secretary of state, and vice president under Jackson, whose election he managed. His ascendancy to the Oval Office was virtually a foregone conclusion. Once he had the reins of power, however, Van Buren found the road quite a bit rougher. His attempts to find a middle ground on the most pressing issues of his day-such as the growing regional conflict over slavery-eroded his effectiveness. But it was his inability to prevent the great banking panic of 1837, and the ensuing depression, that all but ensured his fall from grace and made him the third president to be denied a second term. His many years of outfoxing his opponents finally caught up with him. Ted Widmer, a veteran of the Clinton White House, vividly brings to life the chaos and contention that plagued Van Buren's presidency-and ultimately offered an early lesson in the power of democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Van Buren: A Fascinating Biography of the 8th United States President showcases the life and political career of a man who championed for the expansion of voting rights and would later overcome an attempt to rig the Presidential election by the opposing party to take his place in American history. In his continuing series on American presidents, Steven Wallace presents the lifelong biography of the patriotic eighth President of the United States. Before the Panic of 1837-the second worst depression in American history-poisoned his career and term as presidency, Martin Van Buren was a passionate politician who hoped to move America forward. Born just six years after the founding of the United States, Martin Van Buren seemed destined for politics. Known throughout his career as "Little Van" for his short stature, his impact on America was certainly not minimal. From the age of fourteen, the democratic Van Buren began a political career as an apprentice. He would later go on to fulfill several positions including senator for New York state, a brief stint as Governor, Andrew Jackson's Secretary of State, and eventually President. His incredible life also led him to become directly involved in intriguing events such as the War of 1812 and the Petticoat Affair. Enjoy this concise and interesting biography about the eighth President of the United States, who's impressive political career was overshadowed by the second worst depression in the nation's history.

Book excerpt: Martin Van Buren was the eighth President of the United States. He was the first US citizen to become President. He was also a capable politician, a shrewd negotiator and the first politician to create an administrative infrastructure to support his election campaigns. He served as Governor of New York City and Vice President in the Andrew Jackson administration before he easily won the Presidential election of 1836. Yet Martin Van Buren has been almost completely forgotten by history. Why is that? Van Buren was no less able than many of his contemporaries yet they are remembered while he is not. Perhaps it was because he lacked the flamboyant personality of many early US politicians? Perhaps it was because The Little Magician liked to work his magic behind the scenes rather than in the glare of publicity? Perhaps it is simply that he is considered a 'failed' President because he was unable to deal with the financial crisis which engulfed America during his Presidency? This book looks at the life and work of one of the least known and appreciated Presidents of the United States. It also highlights some intriguing facts about Van Buren's life including the surprising omissions in his autobiography, his part in the scandalous Petticoat Affair and the little-known link between President Van Buren and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Rediscover America's forgotten President in this book which covers; *Early Life in New York State *Entry into State politics *National politics and the emergence of the Sly Fox *Presidency and the Financial Crisis *Later life *Legacy

Download or read book The Presidency of Martin Van Buren written by Major L. Wilson and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Van Buren, eighth president of the United States, has been judged harshly by some historians as a politician by trade and a spoilsman without principles, a "little magician" who was interested only in his own advancement. This volume provides a thorough recounting of the events and decisions of Van Buren's White House years (1837-1841), and adds to the positive reappraisal of Van Buren as an able statesman and effective chief executive. Wilson stresses that Van Buren faced the major problems of his presidency with courage and consistency, and that he brought repose to a nation wrenched both by sectional differences and by the violent fluctuations of economic expansion and contraction. Wilson discusses Van Buren's close relationship with Andrew Jackson and substantially qualifies the persistent interpretation of the Van Buren presidency as the "third term" of Jackson. Van Buren, a pragmatic Jeffersonian with a statesmanlike concern for order, reversed Jackson's priorities. Wilson describes how Van Buren resolved the crisis with Mexico and succeeded in keeping peace with Britain at a time when incidents arising out of rebellion in Canada and the disputed Maine boundary might have precipitated war. The most distinctive contribution of this volume is its in-depth analysis of the economic and political aspects of Van Buren's domestic policy, especialy the Independent Treasury, the issue that gave basic shape to his entire presidency. Jackson had divorced the Treasury from the national bank; Van Buren took one further step and rendered the operations of the Treasury independent of the state banks as well. By the end of his term, debate on the issues of currency and enterprise had brought the second-party system in the U.S. to maturity. In 1840 Van Buren's views in this area would cost him reelection. This study sheds lights on a turbulent period in American history and contributes to our understanding of Martin Van Buren's achievements. He kept the nation out of war, reduced sectional tensions, and established the basis for a fiscal policy which he believed would bring greater stability to economic development.
