He was also, however, notable for achieving many firsts in American politics. He was the first American president to be born a citizen of the country, and not a British subject. He was the first Dutchman and the first man without Anglo-Saxon ancestry to serve as president. He was the first and only American president to have been raised in a language other than English. He was also the first New Yorker to ascend to the Oval Office in the White House, at a time when Manhattan was becoming the urban heart of a future America (as it is today). Historians have also recognized him as the first \"professional politician\" to occupy the presidential seat. His expressed capacity for political intrigue, strategic pragmatism and politically expedient \"non-committalism\" has earned him his fair share of critics and detractors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe darkness of his times (the first depression, the question of slavery, the forceful relocation of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands) easily come to mind, but America was also hurtling towards the future we live in during Van Buren's reign. The seeds of the modernity we recognize so well - railway networks, democracy, the printing press - were sowed in his era. Six small townships and cities - in Maine, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, and Arkansas - still bear his surname. To understand the history of American politics, one must understand Van Buren's often overlooked legacy. This book will give you an in-depth understanding of this man, born a tavern owner's son, who became one of the founders of the Democratic Party.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome of the topics covered in this book include: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEarly Life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Skilled Lawyer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Albany Regency\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWashington\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSecretary of State; Vice President In-Waiting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Panic of 1837\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAmerican Gothic\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTriumphs and Defeat\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComebacks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRetirement\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much more \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGet the book now to learn more \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 18, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668933763174,"sku":"9781647484729","price":40.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/WHhja0dFRGxJa2g4cVZ2dEl3Y1A4UT09.webp?v=1780030224","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/martin-van-buren-a-captivating-guide-to-the-man-who-served-as-the-eighth-president-of-the-united-states-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
