Perhaps America's most celebrated 19th-century icon, Andrew Jackson cut a unique political swath in two terms as president, angering foes and perplexing supporters. Two centuries later, Jackson remains an enigma: war hero and common killer, a champion of the common man who owned slaves. This intriguing documentary offers an unvarnished portrait of a leader frequently larger than life.

The educator's DVD-ROM extends the Andrew Jackson documentary into the classroom. Video clips, Q & A, activities, maps, political cartoons, literature and historical documents bring the subject to life. Video segments on the DVD-ROM and website include over 70 minutes of additional video packaged into six key themes: Slavery, Indian Removal, The Power of Women, The Corporation, Reinventing the Presidency and Was Jackson a Good President.
