Andrew Jackson Collection, Library of Congress(279 clicks)
" Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) collected his correspondence and official papers long before he became president. Although he took the precaution of designating Francis P. Blair custodian of this material, the Jackson manuscripts were scattered after the president's death. The Library of Congress has painstakingly reconstructed the collection through 100 separate accessions, building upon the important body of correspondence, transcripts, speeches, and orders donated by Blair's grandchildren in 1903. The published index for the Jackson papers prepared by the Manuscript Division traces the provenance of the 26,000-item collection and provides an alphabetical list of writers and recipients of letters. The collection has been microfilmed."

by Richard Carwardine “Lincoln often, if not wholly, was an atheist,” insisted one of Lincoln’s political associates, James H. Matheny. The young Lincoln had “called Christ a bastard,” “ridiculed the Bible,” and duped pious voters into believing he was “a seeker after Salvation in the Lord.” Matheny lined up with others convinced that Lincoln had been no Christian. Contending with them were those who insisted that Lincoln “believed in the great fundamental principles of Christianity.”

"It provides an overview of the Woodrow Wilson Administration (1913-1921) while highlighting many of the issues that are commonly discussed in relation to his Presidency, including women’s suffrage, World War I, and the League of Nations. The site contains some original source material, such as copies of major speeches, and several instructional units for teachers. In addition, it features a helpful interactive unit that allows a student to simulate running for president in the 1912 election by picking positions on some of the major issues of the time. While it has useful information for students and teachers, this site is not complete and should not stand on its own as a comprehensive source for information on Wilson."

"Martin Van Buren, son of a tavern keeper, architect of the Democratic Party, the first U.S. president to be born after the founding of the United States, and the only president for whom English was a second language (he grew up speaking Dutch), is widely regarded as a failed president, but Ted Widmer, author of Martin Van Buren argues that the “little magician” was in fact a critical force in early American politics. Van Buren, Widmer says, essentially created America’s strong two-party system, and should not be consigned to the dustbin of U.S. presidential history."
