I think I'm a big world history enthusiast, but I first learned the name Martin Van Buren when I wrote this blog.
It seems that the era from the American Revolutionary War to the Civil War is called the "Jackson era", but the president from Jackson to Lincoln actually has little achievement to say this, and the president who took over the line of Andrew Jackson. There are many.
In short, the number of black slaves continued to increase, while the number of Native Americans continued to decrease.
Dutch American
If you look at the name "MartinVanBuren" and you know it's Dutch, it's likely that you're a good soccer player. Soccer players and artists such as "Marco van Basten" and "Edwin van der Sar", the forwards of AC Milan's heyday, "Vincent Willem van" "Van" such as "Gog)" is a common feature of Dutch names.
The president of the United States was all English-American until the seventh generation Andrew Jackson, but this is the birth of the first non-English president.
Martin Van Buren was born in the United States and immigrated to the United States five generations ago, becoming a clan that settled in the very early stages.
The family seems to have spoken Dutch at home, and Martin Van Buren can speak English, but his first language is Dutch and he is also the first president whose first language is not English.
Originally from New York, his father runs a small farm with several black slaves and was a supporter of the Democratic-Republican Party created by Thomas Jofasorn.
The family isn't very wealthy, and Martin Van Buren himself hasn't graduated from college. After completing his primary education, he studied law for about six years under a federal judge named Francis Sylvester, and began working as a lawyer in 1803.
After a career as an official, he became New York State Legislature in 1812, Federal Member in 1821, and Governor of New York in 1828.
Due to his strong support for Andrew Jackson, he became Secretary of State during the time of President Jackson, Vice President in 1832, and Eighth President of the United States in 1837.
Eighth President of the United States
Martin Van Buren is very unpopular as President of the United States. The reason for this was his regal life, which made him somewhat panicked during his tenure, but he was reckless against them and lived a similar life during that time, which made him angry. It has been done.
He's not an advocate, but America's economic policy is basically left to the private sector, and even during the Great Depression, he didn't do anything at first.
It is largely due to Keynes of England that the "liberal economy" becomes a "modified liberal economy", and Keynes was not even born until this time.
In the economic policy of this era, "Laissez-faire" was the basis.
In addition, he is also the president who took over the line of President Jackson and strengthened the forced migration policy of Native Americans.
"The Indian Forced Relocation Act has had happy consequences. Cherokee migrated without any hesitation."
It is also famous for leaving behind words that are far from reality.
In fact, this is the statement, even though at least 4000 Native Americans have died due to displacement and many have been forced into desolate lands.
He is a lawyer, but his dictionary may not have the word "human rights."
Partly because of that, he loses in the 1847 presidential election.
His only achievement would be his later support for Lincoln.
Martin Van Buren died in 1862. The cause of his death was pneumonia.
Personal evaluation of Martin Van Buren
In fact, Martin Van Buren is rare among the Presidents of the United States and has held all three positions:Secretary of State, Vice President, and President. This is Thomas Jefferson and he alone among the presidents of all time, and it is enough to wait until George W. Bush 140 years later to become president after an election from Vice President to President.
But that wouldn't be any different from his presidential track record.
During his tenure, cotton production in the South increased, which was supported by an increase in the number of black slaves. As with any president during this period, the persecution of Native Americans was extremely fierce, even as the presidents who continued to neglect the fire of national division.
Martin Van Buren is one of the worst presidents of all time, but he still favors Lincoln, who has sought to release his slaves on the verge of his death, which is a big evaluation and in his life. It can be said that it is giving salvation.
