Andrew Jackson and Donald Trump: Populist Leadership | Recording Only

Course Description:

This class filled up quickly, so the live in-person session is now closed. We’ll be recording it and are happy to share the recording with you. By enrolling, you’ll receive access to the recording within 2–3 days after the live session.

The Age of Jackson was America's initial era of modernization and dramatic technological innovation. The United States was moving from a traditional, pre-industrial society to a modern state. The new spectacle of mass political parties, accompanied by massive immigration, contributed to the national unease and alarm. In a similar time of disorder, Americans chose Donald Trump as president in 2024. In what ways are Jackson and Trump similar; in what ways are they different? And, what do these similarities and differences tell us about ourselves and our national character?
