Review of the Jacksonian period

Starts with John Quincy Adams and goes through the growth of Jacksonian democracy. Once again, this is just the first part of Mr. Wallace’s review. Follow the links to the rest after you finish part I.

Who was Arthur Schlesinger?

At the end of chapter 13 of your textbook, there is a discussion of historians who have written about the Jacksonian era. Sean Wilentz and Arthur Schlesinger are two that are mentioned, and they have contributed a very important body of work on the Jacksonian period.

I found this article from the New Republic online site, originally written by Sean Wilentz as a review of one of Schlessinger’s books in 2000, and reissued upon the occasion of Schlesinger’s passing in March of this 2007.

Read the first page of the article to get an idea about several historians whose work has influenced history.
