He was republican and terribly popular but not with the right wing of his party. He built a great democratic machine which has largely broken up waiver, much weaker than it was before, and he had always the solid south. Very different.

That sense that we thought it was important to present an exhibition on the war of 1812. My name is rachel. I was assistant curator for 1812 a nation emerges. The exhibit is large.
