Podcasts about Jacksonian

On land conflicts, MAGA , and the frontier. Journalist James Pogue talks to George and Alex about his book Chosen Country: A Rebellion in the West. The book concerns the events surrounding the 2016 armed occupation of the Oregon Malheur National Wildlife Refuge led by the rancher Ammon Bundy. We discuss: Why were these 2016 events so important and so telling? Is the Jacksonian concept of America still relevant? Does knowing how these people think enable you to predict what Trump – or JD Vance – will do? How is Mormonism the encapsulation of a certain America? Is the division on the Right about 'winners' versus 'losers' (or lost-causers)? Is this story also America First versus Globalists? How unique is the US's forms of political polarisation?

In this high-energy Friday edition of RattlerGator Report, J.B. White blends his signature Southern charm, sharp political instincts, and deep Bitcoin enthusiasm for a full-spectrum look at the week's biggest stories. Fresh off a euphoric sports victory and major NFL draft win for the Jaguars, J.B. turns his attention to the real game, politics, power, and preparing for the Great American Restoration. He dissects a fiery clip from a Democrat podcast meltdown, underscoring why the left's obsession with social issues continues to alienate voters in a solidly center-right nation. With a dose of tough love for both Democrats and impatient conservatives, J.B. reminds listeners why patience, competence, and strategic disruption are winning the war. The episode then pivots to Bitcoin, where J.B. breaks down recent innovations from Leon Wankum and Jack Mallers, celebrating the rise of Bitcoin-backed real estate finance and U.S.-based institutional adoption. He explores the legal precedent of Andrew Jackson's defiance of the Supreme Court and Trump's strategic echo of those moves today, underscoring how Jacksonian grit remains alive and well. From gold vs. Bitcoin to tariffs and decentralized innovation, this episode is a masterclass in cultural, financial, and political recalibration. Big Daddy's got the plan, and J.B.'s here to decode it.

This episode of E&E is a conversation between Pastor Nic Gibson and historian Tracy McKenzie about McKenzie's book "We the Fallen People," which explores a critical transformation in American political thought regarding human nature. The core argument is that the American founders designed the Constitution based on a realistic, biblically-aligned view that humans are inherently self-interested and fallen, requiring checks and balances on power. However, by the 1830s, particularly during the Jacksonian era, this view shifted dramatically toward a belief in the innate goodness of "the people." McKenzie argues that this transformation wasn't primarily driven by later influences like Marx or Darwin, but rather by earlier political dynamics, particularly the expansion of voting rights and the rise of populist democracy. The conversation explores how this shift continues to influence American political discourse today, where politicians often frame narratives around the inherent goodness of their supporters and the evil of their opponents. McKenzie expresses concern that these political messages can function as competing "sermons" that shape Christians' understanding of human nature in ways that may conflict with biblical teaching. He advocates for Christians to resist being "captured" by partisan narratives and to maintain a biblical view of human nature when engaging in politics, emphasizing that the line between good and evil runs through every human heart rather than between political parties. Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.Find more episodes at highpointchurch.org/podcastMusic: HOME—We're Finally Landing, Nosebleed, If I'm Wrong (https://midwestcollective.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-night)

POTUS: 1824 Jacksonian populism and 2024 Trump populism, compare and contrast. @ThadMcCotter @theamgreatness 1832 King Jackson

Over the weekend there were 2 gas station shooting, leaving 1 man dead at the Texaco on Medgar Evers BLVD then on Sunday at the Shell station (formerly JR. Food Mart) for all my old school south Jackson folks, a mass shooting took place that left 2 people dead and another 3 injured. That means 3 killed and 32 injured in just 2 shootings in 2 days. I believe that by the time the WLBT homicide tracker gets properly updated the number will be 73-74 homicides in 2024.

In conversation with author and Pennsylvania State Senator, Nikil Saval In The Hollow Parties, Daniel Schlozman and Sam Rosenfeld present a comprehensive history of the rise of American mass party politics through the Jacksonian era up through the years of Barack Obama to the presidency of Donald Trump. They posit that today's Democrat and Republican parties, at once overbearing and ineffectual, have emerged from the interplay of multiple party traditions that reach back to the founding, and they offer a vision for how these groups might fulfill their promise.

Born on December 5, 1782, Martin Van Buren was the first American President who had been born a citizen of the United States. That said, his first language was NOT English! He would go on to start a major political party and was long noted for his spectacular ability to conduct politics, leading to one of his nicknames, “The Little Magician.” Long distrustful of Banks, he found a home in the Jackson Administration and was nominated as Vice President for Jackson's second term. He would then be handpicked by Jackson to be his replacement. The problem is that much of being President depends on… well… luck and timing. And the one thing that Van Buren did not have was timing. easily elected to succeed Jackson, he was hit with the brunt of the fallout from the Jacksonian policies and his own Administrations issues. In the only occurrence in US History, Van Buren was re-nominated by his party, but without a pick for Vice President. He would not be re-elected, As the national debates unfolded, he waited quietly and hoped for a draft movement to return him to the White House. On the major issues of the day, he stayed mostly silent, except on the single issue of the annexation of Texas. Like many democrat politicians, it was his position on the extension of slavery (via Texas) that would ultimately end his political career. The lesson is that doing the right thing is always the right thing, even when it costs a man his dream of the Presidency… --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plausibly-live/message

Das Projekt, das 2022/23 am Historischen Kolleg durchgeführt wurde, fragt danach, wie sich über gut 250 Jahre seit dem ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert, Straßenprotest als Medium zur Artikulation politischer und sozialer Unzufriedenheit entwickelte. Ausgehend von der mittleren Qing-Dynastie, dem transatlantischen Zeitalter der Revolutionen, über das Jacksonian, die europäischen Jahre um 1848, die indische Revolte 1859 und die beginnende Arbeiterbewegung erstreckt sich die Untersuchung bis in die Gegenwart. Ist hierbei so etwas sie wie eine universale „Körpersprache“ des Protests entstanden? Welche konvergierenden und divergierenden Prozesse lassen sich im globalen Vergleich beobachten? Was wird weitergegeben, was verschwindet? Wie hat sich Überliefertes an stets veränderte mediale und soziale Bedingungen angepasst? Warum verschwindet Straßenprotest nicht aus der Welt, wo wir uns doch heute online empören können?

We break it down and I give my thoughts 3. I tell a story about how JSU officials took Deion Sanders around Jackson and introduced him to all of the top dope boys in the area and how Jackson is ran by dope boys & the politicians who look up to them as their ghetto heroes, therefore refusing to do anything about them.  4. We bust out Brandon Presley for flying private while calling out other politicians for doing the same thing while campaigning. 5. District #2 state rep Nick Bain joins the show for nearly the whole 2nd hour to discuss all of the work he did on HB1020 & HB1125. HB 1020 is the house bill that expanded the CCID (Capitol City Improvement District) and created a lower court to help with Jackson crime. HB1125 is the house bill that made "gender affirming care" for minors illegal. We also talk with Nick about what his plans are next now that his time as state rep for Dist. #2 is coming to an end. 6. Calling out the 4 so-called "republicans" that did a commercial for Brandon Presley and explaining why one of Tate Reeves biggest critics is now supporting him over Brandon Presley (me, I'm that critic) Check out my website at Www.ClayEdwardsShow.Com for all things Clay

David Gornoski is joined by the Mises Institute's Tho Bishop for a conversation on why we need to return to Andrew Jackson's Republicanism, whether there is a Jacksonian answer to the pro-Hamilton New Right, how the American Revolution is different than the French Revolution, how the progressive uniparty system killed the Jacksonian tradition, whether Jackson's history with native Americans places him at odds with modern perception, and more.

Eugene Procknow has written a biography of William Hunter--son of a British sergeant who spent his childhood and teen years accompanying the British army, was taken as a prisoner of war, became a printer and returned to America in the 1790s to edit a series of newspapers in Pennsylvania and Kentucky defending freedom of the press before becoming a Jacksonian political figure.  At some point Hunter sat down to write a memoir, which contains one of the few observations by a child of the war, as well as other episodes  of his memorable life, and Procknow has now published a biography, William Hunter:  Finding Free Speech:  A British Soldier's Son who Became an Early American.    To help with his own research, Procknow has compiled a terrific bibliography of sources on the Revolution, available on his Researching the American Revolution website.

Apportionment. The courts have held that the requirement for fair apportionment may be met by apportioning between jurisdictions all business income of a corporation based on a formula using the particular corporation's details. Many states use a three factor formula, averaging the ratios of property, payroll, and sales within the state to that overall. Some states weigh the formula. Some states use a single factor formula based on sales. State capital gains taxes. Most states tax capital gains as ordinary income. Most states that do not tax income (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming) do not tax capital gains either, nor do two states (New Hampshire and Tennessee) that do or did tax only income from dividends and interest. History. The first state income tax, as the term is understood today in the United States, was passed by the State of Wisconsin in 1911 and came into effect in 1912. However, the idea of taxing income has a long history. Some of the English colonies in North America taxed property (mostly farmland at that time) according to its assessed produce, rather than, as now, according to assessed resale value. Some of these colonies also taxed "faculties" of making income in ways other than farming, assessed by the same people who assessed property. These taxes taken together can be considered a sort of income tax. The records of no colony covered by Rabushka (the colonies that became part of the United States) separated the property and faculty components, and most records indicate amounts levied rather than collected, so much is unknown about the effectiveness of these taxes, up to and including whether the faculty part was actually collected at all. Colonies with laws taxing both property and faculties. Rabushka makes it clear that Massachusetts and Connecticut actually levied these taxes regularly, while for the other colonies such levies happened much less often; South Carolina levied no direct taxes from 1704 through 1713, for example. Becker, however, sees faculty taxes as routine parts of several colonies' finances, including Pennsylvania. During and after the American Revolution, although property taxes were evolving toward the modern resale-value model, several states continued to collect faculty taxes. States with faculty taxes. Between the enactment of the Constitution and 1840, no new general taxes on income appeared. In 1796, Delaware abolished its faculty tax, and in 1819 Connecticut followed suit. On the other hand, in 1835, Pennsylvania instituted a tax on bank dividends, paid by withholding, which by about 1900 produced half its total revenue. Several states, mostly in the South, instituted taxes related to income in the 1840s; some of these claimed to tax total income, while others explicitly taxed only specific categories, these latter sometimes called classified income taxes. These taxes may have been spurred by the ideals of Jacksonian democracy, or by fiscal difficulties resulting from the Panic of 1837. None of these taxes produced much revenue, partly because they were collected by local elected officials. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/law-school/support

Steven Pynakker has a unique and wide ranging conversation with one of the most renowned historians of Mormonism, Dan Vogel. This is the first time that an Evangelical has interviewed Dan. Author of many important works on early Mormonism, Joseph Smith, and now the Book of Abraham. We discuss his background and how a Pentecostal minister in England told Dan of Jerald and Sandra Tanner and a narrative of Mormon history that he was unaware of that set Dan on his journey. We also discuss a Presbyterian minister who was an important supporter, patron, and friend to him. The conversation includes topics like the early treasure digging days of young Joseph, the Mound Builder myths common during this time, how the spectacles entered the narrative early on, using the seer stone to partially translate the Book of Abraham, his next book focusing on the 1831-1839 period in Joseph's life, and why Dan advocates a hemispheric model narrative for Book of Mormon geography. We then talk about Richard Bushman and his book Rough Stone Rolling, Fawn Brodie's No Man Know My History, and him giving the introduction speech for for famed Jacksonian historian Robert Remini at the Mormon History Association. This was a fantastic interview and I look forward to having Dan on back soon to discuss his upcoming new YouTube series!Link to purchase his latest bookLink to Dan's YouTube ChannelLink to our Patreon PageLink to M.T.

The phrase 'Young America' connoted territorial and commercial expansion in the antebellum United States. During the years leading up to the Civil War, it permeated various parts of the Democratic party, producing new perspectives in the realms of economics, foreign policy, and constitutionalism. Led by figures such as Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois and editor John L. O'Sullivan of New York, Young America Democrats gained power during the late 1840s and early 1850s. They challenged a variety of orthodox Jacksonian assumptions, influencing both the nation's foreign policy and its domestic politics. This 2007 book offers an exclusively political history of Young America's impact on the Democratic Party, complementing existing studies of the literary and cultural dimensions of this group. This close look at the Young America Democracy sheds light on the political realignments of the 1850s and the coming of the Civil War, in addition to showcasing the origins of America's longest existing political party.-Trained as an historian of nineteenth-century America, Dr. Eyal joined the Graduate School as its inaugural Director of Graduate Studies in 2015. He has served as a history professor and published a book and numerous articles and reviews on the politics of Jacksonian and Civil War America. An award-winning educator, he has taught undergraduate and graduate courses on the American Revolution, the Civil War and Reconstruction and topics in American political and intellectual history.

On this week's show we are talking to native Jacksonian and author D.N. English. Ms. D. is the author of many books including "Ghost of Downtown Jackson". We discuss the history and the hauntings of this small West Tennessee town.

Most Americans know that the state of Texas was once the Republic of Texas―an independent sovereign state that existed from 1836 until its annexation by the United States in 1846. But few are aware that thousands of Americans, inspired by Texas, tried to establish additional sovereign states outside the borders of the early American republic. In Breakaway Americas, Thomas Richards, Jr., examines six such attempts and the groups that supported them: "patriots" who attempted to overthrow British rule in Canada; post-removal Cherokees in Indian Territory; Mormons first in Illinois and then the Salt Lake Valley; Anglo-American overland immigrants in both Mexican California and Oregon; and, of course, Anglo-Americans in Texas.Though their goals and methods varied, Richards argues that these groups had a common mindset: they were not expansionists. Instead, they hoped to form new, independent republics based on the "American values" that they felt were no longer recognized in the United States: land ownership, a strict racial hierarchy, and masculinity.Exposing nineteenth-century Americans' lack of allegiance to their country, which at the time was plagued with economic depression, social disorder, and increasing sectional tension, Richards points us toward a new understanding of American identity and Americans as a people untethered from the United States as a country. Through its wide focus on a diverse array of American political practices and ideologies, Breakaway Americas will appeal to anyone interested in the Jacksonian United States, US politics, American identity, and the unpredictable nature of history.-Thomas Richards, Jr. earned his PhD in American history from Temple University.

Lawmakers return to the Capitol to finalize CARES Act spending.Then, health care and the pandemic continue to be core issues of the November election. We hear from one health official about how Medicaid expansion could help the state's most vulnerable.Plus, a Jacksonian returns home to helm the Mississippi Arts Commission.Segment 1:Mississippi legislators are back at the capitol today to finalize bills to spend the remainder of the $1.25 billion in federal coronavirus relief funds.Mississippi lawmakers passed bills yesterday creating grant programs to help a number of industries affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Among them--the Mississippi ICU Infrastructure Act provides $10 million to help hospitals add beds and other services for COVID 19 patients. A $13 million grant program was created to help poultry, cattle and sweet potato farmers who've had losses due to COVID 19. Lawmakers are also helping landlords who've lost money with grants up to $30,000.One funding amendment that did not pass was additional aid to Mississippi's three public HBCUs. House Democrat Gregory Holloway of Hazlehurst tells our Desare Frazier those institutions have been disproportionately affected. Senate Minority Leader Derrick Simmons says the programs to aid to farmers and landlords were passed in response to issues that went un-addressed earlier in session. He also expresses concern over an Election Day without a mask mandate in place.Segment 2:A new coalition of medical experts and non-profits is advocating for Medicaid expansion in eight southern states, including Mississippi. Members of Southerners for Medicaid Expansion, who held a vigil honoring the more than 200 thousand people in the U.S. who have died from the coronavirus, believe the south's response to the coronavirus pandemic has been hindered due to the failure to expand the program. Dr. Charlene Collier with the state Department of Health tells our Kobee Vance the pandemic has only made health disparities worse.Segment 3:The Mississippi Arts Commission will be under new executive leadership beginning November 1st. Long-tenured director Malcolm White officially left the post this week after annoucing his departure this summer. Replacing him is Jackson native Sarah Story, who is making her way back to Mississippi after stops in New Orleans and Austin. She says while in New Orleans remained steeped in Mississippi influences, and is excited about the opportunity to work directly with Mississippi artists.

Andrew Jackson was of one of the most critical and controversial figures in American history. The dominant actor on the American scene in the half-century between Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, Jackson lent his name first to a political movement, then to an era, and finally to democracy itself. As the Hero of New Orleans, he became a symbol of American nationalism. As a frontiersman and military commander, he spearheaded the westward expansion of the nation and the subjugation of its native peoples. As the first westerner and first man of humble origins to reach the White House, he stood as the embodiment of American democracy and the rise of the common man. Jackson transformed American politics by governing in the name of what he called “the humble members of society – the farmers, mechanics, and laborers” against “the rich and powerful.” He remade the president's role from chief administrator to popular tribune. He also created the country's first mass political party and fashioned a disciplined party machine featuring the notorious “spoils system” of political reward.The Papers of Andrew Jackson is a project to collect and publish Jackson's entire extant literary record. After an extended worldwide search, the project has obtained photocopies of every known and available Jackson document, including letters he wrote and received, official and military papers, drafts, memoranda, legal papers, and financial records – some 100,000 items in all. In 1987 the project produced a microfilm edition of 39 reels, including all the new documents that had been found. It also issued a comprehensive Guide and Index, listing every known Jackson item by sender or recipient, date, and microfilm location.The project is now producing a series of seventeen volumes that will bring Jackson's most important papers to the public in easily readable form. PDFs of all published volumes are now available for free, immediate download via the University of Tennessee's Newfound Press. Also online is the Library of Congress's Andrew Jackson Papers, a digital archive that provides direct access to the manuscript images of many of the Jackson documents transcribed and annotated in our volumes. Rotunda's American History Collection hosts digital versions of all our volumes, with advanced features such as cross-volume and cross-collection searching and links pairing documents with manuscript images on the Library of Congress's Jackson Papers site.The Papers of Andrew Jackson is sponsored by the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and supported by grants from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Tennessee Historical Commission.-Daniel Feller is a Professor of History at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and the Director of The Papers of Andrew Jackson.

On this week's episode, I spoke with Je'Monda Roy, a Jacksonian and 3-time graduate of The University of Mississippi. Roy created a documentary, "Getting to the Root: Stories of Natural Hairstyles and Black Womanhood at Ole Miss" that embodies the experience of the black woman on campus, finding camaraderie through their shared experiences and finding support through and outlets through hair. We discuss her creation of the documentary and its importance, experiences at the university coming from a predominantly black city and how she adjusted to the environment, despite battling the unwelcoming atmosphere the university fostered for black/brown people.

The friendship of the bachelor politicians James Buchanan (1791-1868) of Pennsylvania and William Rufus King (1786-1853) of Alabama has excited much speculation through the years. Why did neither marry? Might they have been gay? Or was their relationship a nineteenth-century version of the modern-day "bromance"? In Bosom Friends: The Intimate World of James Buchanan and William Rufus King, Thomas J. Balcerski explores the lives of these two politicians and discovers one of the most significant collaborations in American political history. He traces the parallels in the men's personal and professional lives before elected office, including their failed romantic courtships and the stories they told about them. Unlikely companions from the start, they lived together as congressional messmates in a Washington, DC, boardinghouse and became close confidantes. Around the nation's capital, the men were mocked for their effeminacy and perhaps their sexuality, and they were likened to Siamese twins. Over time, their intimate friendship blossomed into a significant cross-sectional political partnership. Balcerski examines Buchanan's and King's contributions to the Jacksonian political agenda, manifest destiny, and the increasingly divisive debates over slavery, while contesting interpretations that the men lacked political principles and deserved blame for the breakdown of the union. He closely narrates each man's rise to national prominence, as William Rufus King was elected vice-president in 1852 and James Buchanan the nation's fifteenth president in 1856, despite the political gossip that circulated about them.While exploring a same-sex relationship that powerfully shaped national events in the antebellum era, Bosom Friends demonstrates that intimate male friendships among politicians were--and continue to be--an important part of success in American politics.-Thomas J. Balcerski is an Assistant Professor of History at Eastern Connecticut State University. He holds a B.A. from Cornell University, an M.A. from SUNY Stony Brook, and a Ph. D. from Cornell University.

In Preserving the White Man's Republic: Jacksonian Democracy, Race, and the Transformation of American Conservatism, Joshua Lynn reveals how the national Democratic Party rebranded majoritarian democracy and liberal individualism as conservative means for white men in the South and North to preserve their mastery on the eve of the Civil War.Responding to fears of African American and female political agency, Democrats in the late 1840s and 1850s reinvented themselves as "conservatives" and repurposed Jacksonian Democracy as a tool for local majorities of white men to police racial and gender boundaries by democratically withholding rights. With the policy of "popular sovereignty," Democrats left slavery's expansion to white men's democratic decision-making. They also promised white men local democracy and individual autonomy regarding temperance, religion, and nativism. Translating white men's household mastery into political power over all women and Americans of color, Democrats united white men nationwide and made democracy a conservative assertion of white manhood.Democrats thereby turned traditional Jacksonian principles—grassroots democracy, liberal individualism, and anti-statism—into staples of conservatism. As Lynn's book shows, this movement sent conservatism on a new, populist trajectory, one in which democracy can be called upon to legitimize inequality and hierarchy, a uniquely American conservatism that endures in our republic today.-Joshua A. Lynn is Assistant Professor of History at Eastern Kentucky University. His research focuses on the intersection of political culture with constructions of race, gender, and sexuality. Dr. Lynn is also a historian of American conservatism. He previously taught at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he completed his Ph.D. in History. His first book is Preserving the White Man's Republic: Jacksonian Democracy, Race, and the Transformation of American Conservatism and he is currently working on his second book, “The Black Douglass and the White Douglas: Embodying Race, Manhood, and Democracy in Civil War America.”---Support for the Age of Jackson Podcast was provided by Isabelle Laskari, Jared Riddick, John Muller, Julianne Johnson, Laura Lochner, Mark Etherton, Marshall Steinbaum, Martha S.

After the "corrupt bargain" that awarded John Quincy Adams the presidency in 1825, American politics underwent a fundamental shift from deference to participation. This changing tide eventually propelled Andrew Jackson into the White House—twice. But the presidential race that best demonstrated the extent of the changes was that of Martin Van Buren and war hero William Henry Harrison in 1840. Harrison's campaign was famously marked by sloganeering and spirited rallies.In The Coming of Democracy, Mark R. Cheathem examines the evolution of presidential campaigning from 1824 to 1840. Addressing the roots of early republic cultural politics—from campaign biographies to songs, political cartoons, and public correspondence between candidates and voters—Cheathem asks the reader to consider why such informal political expressions increased so dramatically during the Jacksonian period. What sounded and looked like mere entertainment, he argues, held important political meaning. The extraordinary voter participation rate—over 80 percent—in the 1840 presidential election indicated that both substantive issues and cultural politics drew Americans into the presidential selection process.Drawing on period newspapers, diaries, memoirs, and public and private correspondence, The Coming of Democracy is the first book-length treatment to reveal how presidents and presidential candidates used both old and new forms of cultural politics to woo voters and win elections in the Jacksonian era. This book will appeal to anyone interested in US politics, the Jacksonian/antebellum era, or the presidency.Mark R. Cheathem is a professor of history at Cumberland University, where he is the project director of the Papers of Martin Van Buren.
