Description

In America’s Jubilee distinguished historian Andrew Burstein presents an engrossing narrative that takes us back to a pivotal year in American history, 1826, when the reins of democracy were being passed from the last Revolutionary War heroes to a new generation of leaders.

Through brilliant sketches of decided on individuals and events, Burstein creates an evocative portrait of the hopes and fears of Americans fifty years after the Revolution. We follow an aged Marquis de Lafayette on his triumphant tour of the rustic; and be told of the just about simultaneous deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson at the 4th of July. We meet the ornery President John Quincy Adams, the controversial Secretary of State Henry Clay, and the notorious hot-tempered General Andrew Jackson. We also see the year during the eyes of a minister’s wife, a romantic novelist, or even an intrepid wheel of cheese. Insightful and vigorous, America’s Jubilee captures an unforgettable time within the republic’s history, when a generation embraced the legacy of its predecessors and sought to enlarge its role in The us’s story.
