| America's Heroes and Villains: Andrew Jackson |
Andrew Jackson's first serious biographer called him "an atrocious saint" because of his many contradictions. He could be both pragmatic and dogmatic in his personal dealings, his life in the military, and his terms as president. This lecture will cover the many events in Jackson's life and try to locate those core values that explain who he truly was. In his life, he brushed up against many famous people from John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay to Peggy Eaton and Sam Houston, yet he towered above them all.

| America's Heroes and Villains: John Marshall |
John Marshall, an ardent Federalist along with George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, took an embarrassingly weak Supreme Court and made it equal to the other two branches of government. He did for the justice system what Hamilton did for the financial system. But he was so much more than American's longest-serving and most powerful Chief Justice. He served in all three branches of government as a congressman and as John Adams' Secretary of State. And he stood with George Washington at Valley Forge. His is a truly amazing story, that of a giant among giants.
