The Contradictions at the Heart of the American Revolution – Part VIII — The Martin Van Buren Administration: The Cost of Jacksonian Democracy Comes Due Martin Van Buren's presidency (1837-1841) revealed the contradictions of Jacksonian democracy, inheriting severe economic instability and moral crises. The Panic of 1837, the enforcement of Indian removal, and rising class tensions defined his term. Van Buren struggled with the implications of expanded democracy amidst increasing sectional division and political opposition.

(2/4) Mr. Martini was a #diplomat from the #Netherlands, and the VP was #MartinVanBuren, then running for President in 1836.
Did the “promised visit” actually happen? An 1888 newspaper interview with Ben Stewart, formerly #enslaved at Montpelier, is the final piece of evidence.
