It was a stifling hot day in July of 1821 but the inhabitants of Pensacola, Florida, and hundreds of recently arrived new- comers were all jammed into the town’s central plaza. This was to be an important day in the lives of the people of Florida, for at ten o’clock in the morning the gaunt gray figure of Andrew Jackson would stalk from the governor’s residence and cross the plaza to the government house where the cere- monies marking the transfer of the Floridas from Spain to the United States would be completed. As he sat in the governor’s residence eating breakfast with his wife Rachel and the mem- bers of his staff, the old soldier may well have thought back to other days in Pensacola - for this was not the first time he had entered the ancient city.

Books & Manuscripts (1697) February 18, 2021 EDT, ONLINE ONLY Lot 143 Estimate: $800 - $1200 (plus Buyer's Premium) [Presidential] Jackson, Andrew Autograph Letter, annotated Walnut Grove, (Virginia), Jun 1, 1830. 1 pp., on one sheet folded to make four pages; 9 7/8 x 8 in. (250 x 203 mm). Autograph letter, docketed by President Andrew Jackson, to American diplomat, Andrew Jackson Donelson (nephew of Jackson), by Judge Lewis Summers, concerning a trip in 1827, when Summers visited Donelson and his aunt, Rachel Jackson (née Donelson). At the end of the letter Summers writes of, "...additional evidence of the estimation in which she (Rachel Jackson) was held at a very gloomy period of her life."; annotated below address by Andrew Jackson, "to be carefully preserved." Creasing from original folds; numerous sello tape repairs; small separations along center fold; scattered soiling; top corner of final page singed. The presidential campaign of 1828 was an especially bitter affair between Jackson and incumbent John Quincy Adams, with a volley of personal attacks and slander slung from each camp. Particularly stinging attacks were leveled at Jackson's marriage to Rachel, after it was discovered that her former husband, Lewis Robards who, unbeknownst to Rachel, never filed for divorce after they separated in 1790. The Jacksons' were subsequently labeled adulterers in the press. The campaign had a significant effect on Rachel's mental health, with some speculating that the stress contributed to her sudden death from a heart attack on December 22, 1828, only days before Jackson was to leave for Washington. It is speculated that Jackson annotated the letter as such for the warm words written about his late wife.

This Presentation Is Women’S Lives in a Changing America; However, All of the Themes Are Inter‐Related
1 The Hermitage is the home and plantation of President Andrew Jackson. He is the reason the site has been preserved and his story takes center stage. The Ladies’ Hermitage Association opened The Hermitage as a museum honoring Jackson in 1889. But Andrew Jackson did not live alone and The Hermitage would not have been the place he treasured without the others who also called it home In fact, from its earliest days, the LHA envisioned The Hermitage not only as a shrine to Andrew Jackson, but also to his beloved wife, Rachel. Perhaps their attraction to the Rachel story is related to the all‐ flfemale make up of the early days of the organitiization. NthlNevertheless, there were many other women whose stories hadn’t been told ‐‐ family members as well as the enslaved who worked in the house and on the farm. Their biographies differ, but each one tells us something about The Hermitage as well as women’s experiences in general. They also reveal things about Andrew Jackson. So, it is imperative to tell their stories too. 2 In the 1970s and 1980s, research at The Hermitage, like many other historic sites, began to dig deeper and seek the assistance of academic historians. We re‐identified and re‐ interpreted collections. The LHA supported the University of Tennessee’s Jackson Papers Project, which made an abundance of historical resources more easily available. The Hermitage established an archaeology program that focused on the archaeology of slavery while the curatorial staff planned for an interior restoration of the Hermitage Mansion. 3 Among other outcomes, the restoration highlighted the women who had a role in shaping the appearance of the mansion and the life lived there – the white women (other than Rachel) who lived in the house, and the enslaved women who were a constant presence.

March 15, 1767 - June 8, 1845. [2] Without union our independence and liberty would never have been achieved; without union they never can be maintained. ... The loss of liberty, of all good government, of peace, plenty, and happiness, must inevitably follow a dissolution of the Union. ---Andrew Jackson, Second Inaugural Address, 1833 Jump to: Childhood • The American Revolution • Public Career • Politics and Elections • The Presidency • Retirement Childhood Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, was born in the Waxhaws area near the border between North and South Carolina on March 15, 1767. Jackson's parents lived in North Carolina but historians debate on which side of the state line the birth took place. Jackson was the third child and third son of Scots-Irish parents. His father, also named Andrew, died as the result of a logging accident just a few weeks before the future president was born. Jackson's mother, Elizabeth ("Betty") Hutchison Jackson, was by all accounts a strong, independent woman. After her husband's death she raised her three sons at the South Carolina home of one of her sisters. The American Revolution The Declaration of Independence [3] was signed when young Andrew was nine years old and at thirteen he joined the Continental Army [4] as a courier. The Revolution [5] took a toll on the Jackson family. All three boys saw active service.

The Making of a Nation – Program No. 44 Andrew Jackson and the Election of 1828
The Making of a Nation – Program No. 44 Andrew Jackson and the Election of 1828 From VOA Learning English, welcome to The Making of a Nation, our weekly program of American history for people learning English. I’m Steve Ember. This week in our series, we talk about the election of 1828. It was bitter and full of angry words and accusations. The old Republican Party of Thomas Jefferson had split into two opposing groups. President John Quincy Adams led one of the groups. It called itself the National Republican Party. Andrew Jackson, a military hero and politician, led the other group. It called itself the Democratic Party. Each party had its own newspapers. In Washington, the Daily National Journal supported President Adams. The United States Telegraph supported General Jackson. The Telegraph published accusations by Democrats in Congress against the administration. The Journal, in turn, published a pamphlet that said Jackson had fought a 1 learningenglish.voanews.com | Voice of America | September 5, 2013 man, chased him away like a dog and then stolen his wife. Jackson denied these claims. Historians still do not know how much of this story is true. But the story had a great effect on Jackson for the rest of his life. Jackson met the young woman, Rachel, at her mother's home near Nashville, Tennessee. Rachel and her husband, Lewis Robards, were living there at the time. They were having marriage problems. Robards argued with his wife about Jackson. He said she and Jackson seemed too close. Portrait of Rachel Jackson Robards reportedly wanted to fight Jackson with his fists.
