Jon Meacham Ages 3-5 Kids' Books Editorial Review
Jonathan Meacham's "American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House" is a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography that focuses on Jackson's two terms as the 7th US President. Meacham covers key issues of Jackson's era, including the power of the Second Bank of the United States, South Carolina's secession, the removal of Native Americans, and the role of the federal government versus state government. The book also delves into the personal relationships between Jackson, his advisors, and his cabinet, which played a significant role in determining public policy. Meacham's writing style makes this book both detailed and readable. The book provides an insightful look into the era and brings to light the similarities between the issues faced then and those faced today. Even though some serious Jackson scholars raise some issues with the book, it is a good starting point for someone interested in learning more about his presidency.
