1845 DAVY CROCKETT Andrew Jackson Corruption Martin Van Buren 8^th US President

 

Penned by the famous American folk hero, Davy Crockett, “The Life of Martin Van Buren” is a sharply critical biography of the then-Vice President and presidential aspirant, Martin Van Buren, who was characterized as the chosen successor of President Andrew Jackson. Crockett argued that Van Buren’s rise was not due to his own merit but to the machinations of Jackson and his administration’s insiders. The book is a scathing indictment of Van Buren’s character and political maneuvers, accusing him of duplicity and unprincipled ambition. Crockett contends that Van Buren is unqualified for the presidency and that his potential election would be the result of manipulation by those in power rather than the will of the people. Through this biography, Crockett aimed to expose the corrupt practices of party politics and warn the electorate about the consequences of allowing Van Buren to become president.
