Synopsis:
Andrew Jackson vs. Henry Clay presents a selection of letters, essays, and speeches in order to demonstrate how these two individuals clashing perspectives shaped and exemplified the major issues of national politics between the War of 1812 and the territorial crisis of 1850, the preservation of the union, federal commitments to banking, tariffs, internal improvements, and the egalitarian tone of national political culture.
