Jackson's infamous execution of two British citizens during the war for Florida
Jackson's infamous execution of two British citizens during the war for Florida
Another event of Andrew Jackson's life, all but absent from the History Industry's take on Jackson. Perhaps AP students may learn of Andrew Jackson's unsanctioned invasion of Florida to "protect" Americans from a Seminole uprising. They might also learn that the fight along the Florida border was not caused by Native Americans or Europeans inciting them - but rather by Georgia squatters who crossed the border into Florida. But none of these students are exposed to the story of the execution of two British subjects by Jackson.

Charles Ball. Fifty Years in Chains, or, The Life of an American Slave.
Students should know that reading a first hand account of slavery will offer them a better insight into anything they might find in a textbook. Just the same, teachers can find many quotes and descriptions from this narrative to use in DBQs and other lessons. Edward Baptist featured Charles Ball in his "The half has never been told: Slavery and the history of capitalism"

Tallmadge Amendment - Contextual Background and four short primary documents
Tallmadge Amendment - Contextual Background and four short primary documents
This lesson provides students with background of the Missouri Compromise with four short documents. It then asks students to prepare an argument for the north and the south using the documents. What's the problem with this? The economic argument of the north, the protection of free white labor, resistance to growing slave owning aristocracy is absent the documents. The moral argument of the north is included, but nothing else. Teachers can use this to show students how the education industry itself is making history.

Irish Immigration | Stanford History Education Group
In the 1800s Irish immigrants to the United States faced intense discrimination. The treatment of the Irish raises the historical question of whether the Irish were considered "white" in the 19th century. In this lesson, students examine political cartoons, a Know-Nothing party speech, and a historian's account to consider how racial categories may be ambiguous and change over time.

Indian Removal | Stanford History Education Group
The expansion of the United States westward led to conflicts over government policy towards Native Americans. Some white Americans favored assimilation, while others insisted that removal was the only solution. A small minority of Cherokee preferred removal, believing it would offer greater sovereignty to their nation. This lesson plan explores why people in the 1830s supported Indian Removal.

This 1817 biography of Andrew Jackson was comissioned by himself. Written seven years before his run for the presidency, this book lends support to the assertion that his was a crafted image, sold to the public. Teachers can ask themselves how much of an influence did the publication of this book influence what they teach about Jackson today.

No Idle Past: Uses of History in the 1830 Indian Removal Debates on JSTOR
This is for teachers to skim, or to pull quotes from for students. The thesis and argument can be gathered from the last two pages. It focuses on the debate in the Senate (often ignored by teachers who refer to this only as "Jackson's" removal) and the way in which senators on both sides used history to make their case either for or against removal.

Andrew Jackson to Amos Kendall, August 9, 1835 (Letter)
Andrew Jackson to Amos Kendall, August 9, 1835 (Letter)
Jackson admits to the Postmaster General that until Congress acts, he has no power to stop abolitionists mailing anti-slavery literature into the south. He does, however, suggest that the names of the people who pick up this mail in the post office be advertised and made public - so they can be exposed as monsters.
