Before It Became History | Andrew Jackson: Frontier Orphan to President

Orphaned by war, forged on the battlefield, and elected on a cry against elite corruption — Andrew Jackson reshaped the presidency itself. War hero, populist icon, slaveholder: his record is as consequential as it is contested.

Before It Became History, a podcast series from the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute, explores the people and moments that shaped the American story. Each episode looks beyond the legend to examine the decisions, conflicts, and ideas that tested the promise of liberty and helped define our democracy.

This is history before it hardened into memory — and a conversation about what it means for us now.
