U.S. Presidential Histories: Exploring the Myths Behind the People
探索美国总统历史中的传说

Do you want to learn more about U.S. Presidents? Join us @TheBAC for a series of informative and engaging talks as we explore the myths behind the people.

Session 3: Andrew Jackson
Friday, October 20, 2023, 3:00-4:30p.m.

The legacy of Andrew Jackson remains one of the most debated of American presidents. His visage graces the US $20 bill, and he championed the cause of the 'common man' throughout his time in office from 1829-1837. But Jackson also left behind a legacy of trauma, particularly when it came to relations with America's indigenous peoples. We will discuss the multifaceted nature of Andrew Jackson, his life, and his presidency.

Dr. Jeremiah Jenne is an American writer and historian based in Beijing. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis. His essays and articles have appeared in The Economist, South China Morning Post, The China Project, The Journal of Asian Studies, The China Project, Los Angeles Review of Books, and The World of Chinese.
