Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Andrew Jackson, Vol. 1 of 3 "OH, hang General Jackson!" exclaimed Fanny Kemble one day, after dinner, in the cabin of the ship that brought her to the United States, in the summer of 1832; so wearied was the vivacious lady with the din of politics, and the incessant repetition of the name associated with all the topics of that stormy period. And what a scene was that, when the Old Man, victorious over Nullification, and about to deal his finishing blow at the Bank, visited New York, and was borne along Broadway on one roaring wave of upturned faces and flashing eyes; when it seemed, said a spectator, as if he had but to speak the word, and they would have proclaimed him on the spot a king! To this hour, the fame of General Jackson is a capital item in the capital stock of a political party. It is one of our standing jokes, founded on fact, that in some of the remote rural districts, the ancient inhabitants still go to the polls under the impression that they are voting for old General Jackson. How many of the last eight President would ever have taken up their residence in the White House, if they had not been helped towards him? Not one!
