Andrew Jackson’s America examines the events and personalities, particularly President Andrew Jackson, that shaped the development of the United States during the first half of the 19th century. Learn about the influence that Andrew Jackson had on the way America developed, the industrial revolution and the beginning of the two-party system.

History is dramatic - and the renowned, award-winning authors Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier demonstrate this in a compelling series aimed at young listeners.

great read!

I love chris and James collier books! and I love American history; the good, bad, and ugly. I appreciate all of the men and women that lived before me.

Overall good

Not as much about Jackson as I would have liked to have heard. He was more influential and interesting

I learned a lot about Andrew Jackson and his presidentcy I never knew

I liked the narration and the content. I am anxious to read all the othet titles in the series.

We're Better Than A. Jackson America

wow, this America then and still is. Racism will be its destruction this want be long because racism and the rich for more. The rich wants all power. The study of American history is how we it's citizens can start the change of political discourse. We deserve better than Andrew Jackson politics.

The last chapter

The last chapter brought tears to my eyes! Just knowing what America did to the Indians is horrible.

Great read

The book talks about those years from different point of views. Making readers think. Thank you.

history

Easy and enjoyable history. I would love to hear the rest of the series. It seems to me it's a good way to understand America.

Terrible

Author clearly has a very narrow view of history, I’ve listened to several of his books and he seems to be a racist sympathizer.

More trash from professorial wrio

This started out with a long winded apology about the format, and it continued to throw garbage at the wall. Skip this book if you want. Try another author for a book about Andrew Jackson

Weak

Has Andrew Jackson’s America: 1824-1850 turned you off from other books in this genre?

not from this genre, but from this series

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

nope

Any additional comments?

In the first section the author explains the idea of spending time on ideas & themes rather than dates & names as the best way to learn history. I agree. However the product here is so bland as to be useless. This may be of utility to 5-7th graders but not beyond. The description should have identified the target audience.
