In this episode of Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge's George Washington Slept Here, we are privileged to welcome Dr. Daniel Feller, a renowned historian and expert on Andrew Jackson. Dr. Feller outlines his impressive career and involvement in The Papers of Andrew Jackson project, which “collects and publishes Jackson's entire extant literary record.” We also explore the Jacksonian Era, the War of 1812, nullification, and Jackson's presidency. Dr. Feller helps us examine the intersection of history and politics while providing insightful reflections on the role of historians as they navigate today's precarious political climate.
