520 The inaugural volume in a new historiography series
Historians possess the power to shape the view of history
for those who come after them. Their efforts to illuminate
significant events of the past often result in new
interpretations, which frequently conflict with ideas
proposed by earlier historians. Invariably, this
divergence of thoughts creates a dissonance between
historians about the causes and meanings of prior events.
The Kent State University Press s new Interpreting
American History Series aims to help readers learn how
truth emerges from the clash of interpretations present in
the study of history. In the series s first volume,
Interpreting American History: The Age of Andrew Jackson,
experts on Jacksonian America address the changing views
of historians over the past century on a watershed era in
U.S. history. A two-term president of the United States,
Jackson was a powerful leader who widened constitutional
boundaries on the presidency, shaping policy himself
instead of deferring to the wishes of Congress. The
essayists in this volume review the most important issues
of the period including the Corrupt Bargain, Nullification
Crisis, Indian Removal Act, and Jacksonian democracy,
economics, and reform and discuss their interpretation
over the last hundred years by such historians as
Frederick Jackson Turner, Richard Hofstadter, Arthur M.
Schlesinger Jr., Sean Wilentz, Robert V. Remini, Daniel
Feller, and David Walker Howe. An insightful compilation
of essays, Interpreting American History: The Age of
Andrew Jackson will acquaint readers with the nineteenth-
century world of Andrew Jackson and the ways in which
historians have interpreted his life and times.
