The Presidency Of Martin Van Buren by Douglas L. Wilson
A concise political biography that examines how a shrewd but cautious leader sought to preserve and institutionalize Jacksonian democracy while confronting the economic and sectional crises of his term; it traces his response to the Panic of 1837 and the financial turmoil that followed, his push for an independent treasury and fiscal reforms, his efforts to maintain party unity amid rising tensions over slavery and westward expansion (including the Texas question), and the ways his temperament, principles, and political decisions shaped his defeat in 1840 and his mixed historical legacy.
