ABSTRACT

According to John William Ward, the political and military career of Andrew Jackson was a merger between a man and a myth, with his political supporters deliberately crafting an image of him as a self-made man of destiny and a product of nature.

He became a symbol of frontier democracy and populism, as well as of the United States itself and its destiny to expand to the Pacific Ocean—and beyond. Although his enemies attempted to ...
