The Birth of Modern Politics: Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, and the Election of 1828 - Pivotal Moments in American History
Parsons, Lynn Hudson (Professor of History Emeritus, Professor of History Emeritus, State University of New York, Brockport)
The book offers fresh and illuminating portraits of both Adams and Jackson and reveals how, despite their vastly different backgrounds, they had started out with many of the same values, admired one another, and had often been allies in common causes. But by 1828, caught up in a shifting political landscape, they were plunged into a competition that separated them decisively from the Founding Fathers' era and ushered in a style of politics that is still with ustoday.
