“It easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn’t”
Martin van Buren
Thank you for the extensive work you all do. The presentation is wonderful.
I grew up the next town over from his childhood home, and I visited on several occasions! It’s a very lovely place!
This most pleasant video about MVB demonstrates and unifies multiple issues as mid-way issues, inter-connected issues between the late and post American Revolution period and the civil war. Marvelous. Thank you.
THANK YOU FINALLY, finding an in depth video biography of Martin Van Buren is next to impossible
Next up, William Henry Harrison
Democrats like to hide being feral ....
There is a building near one of my old workplaces in Central London. On it sits a blue plaque which says something to the effect of: "US President Martin Van Buren once lived here."
My English ancestors came to the US when Van Buren was president. He personally signed their naturalization papers, so I have a special connection with the man
Some people came to the USA when Van Buren was president. He did not sign their naturalization papers. They have a special reason to detest the man and the institution of slavery. You are quite "transactional". I like presidents who favored my English ancestors. I prefer American presidents who opposed slavery. Ulysses Simpson Grant. He did nothing for me or my ancestors. Cheers and huzzah to your family tree. None of whom were sold away, I presume.
No. You don't.
Interesting enough, most Americans of english ancestry had ancestors from the 1600s
@@cvry2813 I'm not sure why mine decided to come over in the 1830s. Things were going well in England at that time, weren't they? So coming over in the 1600s is not as interesting as coming over in 1836
The problem with the Democratic Party from its founding by Jackson and Van Buren was its admirable belief in state's rights and a limited federal government fundamentally linked the Party to support of slavery. After Van Buren, every Democratic Presidential Administration through Buchanan's was a failure due to the slavery issue. The most egregious failure was the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which motivated Lincoln and others to form the Republican Party in 1854.
Most presidential historians regard James Polk's Democratic administration as a successful one.
@@pepp4560that is primarily due to the land acquired due to Mexican war
@@battlescorn tnat was certainly a major success. But Polk also achieved every major domestic and foreign policy goal set during his campaign. Polk not only defeated Mexico-acquiring California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, parts of Colorado and Wyoming, and New Mexico-and annexed Texas, but he threatened war with Great Britain over control of the Oregon Country, eventually reaching an agreement in which both nations agreed to partition the region at the 49th parallel. Polk also accomplished his goals in domestic policy. He built an independent treasury system that lasted until 1913. He reduced tariff rates, lowering the price of both imported and, through competition, domestic goods. He also opened the U.S. Naval Academy and the Smithsonian Institution, began construction of the Washington Monument, and issued the first U.S. postage stamp. He strengthened relations with New Grenada and opened the way to construction of the Panama Railway. He also fulfilled his pledge to be a one-term president. He is regarded by many historians as the most consequential of the lesser known presidents. He didn’t help resolve the slavery issue. Arguably, his annexation of Texas helped to exacerbate the issue, until the Compromise of 1850. He also narrowly failed in purchasing Cuba. But Polk had added more land to the United States than even Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase. He certainly wasn’t a failed president.
You should read up on James Knox Polk, Democratic president 1845-49, who accomplished every one of his campaign promises, working himself to death by never taking a vacation during his single term, and rarely took a single day off over his four years. Exhausted, he foreswore a second term and dropped dead weeks after he left office, in his early 50s.
I agree but the Missouri compromise started the trouble.
18:55 Calhoun looks like he's glaring at the carriage driver who cut him off without signaling
Thanks. This increased my knowledge of American History.
I lived in Kinderhook for ten long years and toured his home which was interesting. There are Van Burens still in the area.
My wife is a descendent of Mr. Van Buren. We live in upstate New York.
I didn't know my Friday was going to be awesome, until now!
LETS GOOO!
You should redo the title. "The man who introduced true blight into this world"
So, the two political parties of today, have completely done 180 degree switch.
Correct. Look at the electoral maps of 1948 and 1960 to get an idea of when.
It is fair to say they have both changed considerably, but it’s not exactly correct to claim that there was a 180 degree switch.
@fishjj76 they only switch because of the failure of the Carter's term in office. Till the 80s most of the south including Texas voted Democrat. Texas last Democrat governor was in 94. Newt Gingrich campaign and made a lot of inroads in the late 70s and 80s to were the Republicans captured both houses in Clinton's term forcing him to work with Republicans and executive in the middle and making Gingrich the last great speaker of the house since all his successors are sellouts selling the country to the highest bidder.
How did they switch let alone 180 degrees. I can understand Democrats wanting to distance themselves from their terrible past but to impugn that the GOP inherited their mantle is risible. Blacks voting in large numbers for the Democrats now might be more a reflection of blacks and less of the parties.
Van Buren always wanted to be a city planner but he was forced by his mentor to be an architect - Maxim of the 3 + 5
Martin Van Buren is a distant cousin to Theodore and Franklin D Roosevelt.
Dutch
What the Democrat Party now has no resemblance of a party that is elected, they appoint leaders.
I did a book report on Buren back when I was a kid in the 80’s, did not remember him being a founder of the Democratic Party.
Jackson is considered the father of the Democratic party & came up with the jackass symbol
I do believe it was Jackson and Buren picked up where he left. At least that is the way I was taught, but that was a long time ago. In the 90s.
That would have been a good detail to include in your book report.
Jefferson as the Democratic-Republicans and modified and name changed to the Democrats
@@3x157Jefferson the true founder of the Dems
Um we didn't have a republican party until 1854 when it was started in Ripon, Wisconsin.
If you want to know the reason for the Panic of 1832, read the last 100 pages of Van Buren's autobiography.
Very good Documentary of Martin Van Buren, thank you!
What a wonderful job, as always. As an amateur historian, I learned something I hadn’t known about his name’s pronunciation and his non-first language use of English. Of course, today the political poles in the US have flipped 180 degrees. The people who believe that we should always come together thru our government (which, after all is us!) to help those less fortunate and telling people like me who can easily afford it to shut up and pay for it are now Democrats, and the people who believe in self-determination without any help from OR FOR anyone else have become Republicans. I am a disciple of FDR, and believe we should always come together for everyone, with a large activist government of the people paid for by those according to their ability to pay. We did it that way here in the US from 1935-1980, and created the largest and most successful Middle Class the planet has ever seen. The rich were still obscenely rich, (ask me!) even paying 70% in taxes. Now, .5% of the people own 80% of the wealth, thanks to Ronald Reagan.
You’re a socialist, just like Hitler and Mao.
Yep. I worded it without your pretty nothings.
I am a disciple of VanBuren. LoL Damn you make it sound hardcore sir. I also like FDR but the other Roosevelt not so much
Can´t wait to see William Henry Harrison, John Tyler and James K Polk´s documentary next!
Diplomacy was his downfall.
I believe VanBuren was a principled man.
He also started the Van Buren gang.
The Van Buren Boys, you mean? Lol
Do you mean the Van Buren Boys episode of Seinfeld? George runs from them 😂
LMFAO !!!
🤚🏽🤟🏽
@johnweber4577 You mean they didn't have motorcycles?
He would be so disappointed.
Thanks, Martin! 🤦♂
I think we can only blame all that has occurred in this country on the mentally ill that have power today.
I can’t believe there is finally a Martin Van Buren video. I got one on William Henry Harrison…
I didn't realize the Van Buren family was from middle earth.
Aren't we all?
Ok
I was looking for someone to blame
Van Buren
Got it
Except for the fact that the democrats were ideologically aligned with modern day Republicans until the early 20th century.
@@istrumguitars???
@@istrumguitarsbullshit.
So we can blame all of this on him?
No, we can blame the North. It utterly defeated the South but did not let them know it (like the allies did to Germany in WW2) so the South believes they won (like Trump in 2020) and continues to torment the rest of the country with the reactionary 19th century beliefs and morals (lack thereof.)
Stop pretending that the GOP are covered in glory and is not just as bad. Both parties are a disgrace who follow the path of fringe groups rather than acting in the best interest of all Americans. Both need to get rid of idiots like AOC, Marjorie Taylor Green, Omar , Bowman, Gaetz, Bobert. .Neither puts unity and the best interests of America before catering to the interests of the fringe .
We could, but it more then likely is the problem of people not taking care of their own neighbors.
Lmaooo not really. Democrats didn’t go to total shit until after JFK’s murder
"I'm not a member of any organized political party. I'm a Democrat."
Will Rogers
Keep going all the presidents up to Joe Biden in order love it
I live over the bridge from Van Buren. It's a city... In Arkansas.
There must be some interesting reason why the town founders wanted to name their city after President Van Buren. I seriously doubt anyone in the area had any personal connection to the New Yorker. Maybe because of all the Washingtons and Lincolns in America, they wanted to find a more original presidential name for a town?
@@impalaman9707arkansas was confederate
@@lisaquigley-moon9583 My point exactly--but there's also towns named Poughkeepsie and Scranton in the "Wonder State"---I "wonder" why that is?
The constitution is not to strengthen the federal government, it is to strengthen the people, in defense from the fed.
If he knew what the Democratic Party would become today he'd be turning over in his grave...
Andrew Jackson was the first Democrat.
Long story short van Buren and Jackson both started the party to get Jackson elected. And if you know anything about Jackson he was an evil president and the party ran with it.
Thank you for an honest recap of a President:s life
Love your content! Thanks For this! Harry truman please 😊😊😊😊
Great presentation. It would seem many of his decisions were reactive and tinged with political schemes.
Strange behavior for a ...... politician
Reminds me of someone in modern day politics… plural.
Yes but this was long before today’s Demos.
This party was so far out, the GOP was organized.
Well done!!!
Slavery never ended in the north as well as the south. Company houses with company store. on a factory plantation. In the north. Farm workers in the south. Hard to say who suffered more. Federal, State, sales property. internet, gas, and sin taxes and banking fees are now all the rage. In which we are all slave to. As well as Human trafficking.
He would be a Republican now
Every person back then would be a republican today. Just like every Democrat 70 years ago would be a republican today. Saying they would be Republican is like saying they would be normal and not believe girls are boys and boys are girls
Its ironic he founded the Democrat party. He pandered to the South and played favorites.
The Democratic Party back then was a southerner aristocratic slave holder party who supported slavery and little to no federal government. It was the Conservative Party. The soon Republican Party was the liberal one who supported a strong federal government. 😂.
Times have changed and so did the parties who switched platforms. Corporations changed the Republican Party to a conservative one forcing liberals to join the democratic one.
With slavery gone the new programs attracted blacks to the democratic one since republicans now opposed big government to make corporations happy. This is why today the left is democratic and conservatives and southerners are republican. It was 💯 opposite 150 years ago
That's a good one!
Democratic and Republicans were the same party
The claim that Martin Van Buren was admitted to the New York State Bar Association in November 1803 is actually a misconception. While Van Buren did study law, the New York State Bar Association itself was not established until much later, in 1876. Therefore, the idea that Van Buren had direct association with this organization is historically inaccurate.
Van Buren's legal career did commence around the same time as the supposed admission, and he went on to become a prominent figure in American politics, serving as the eighth President of the United States from 1837 to 1841. His legacy primarily revolves around his political achievements rather than any direct connection to the New York State Bar Association during its early years.
Interesting how the Clinton name just Pops Up.
.. you can easily want to recognise.. this. 📢
He’s the first non British president by citizenship and by ancestry
I bet if good ole Martin van buren is rolling on his grave , after seeing what the party he has founded has turned into today 😮😢
It's nice living in a place where so many of our forefathers hale from.
I bet they're probably screaming in their coffins ⚰️ right now, though
I'm sure things like roads, police, fire departments, cars, planes, computers, smart phones and modern medicine would maybe offset the fact that they can no longer own people as property.
Many historians call Andrew Jackson the first Democrat.
Why is Jim Broadbent´s picture on the title page?
- Founder of the Democrats and the Van Buren Boys.
He’s like the king of the lizard people.
God Save The King
@@SuperGreatSphinx
I wonder if Van Buren intended for democrats to eventually become a party of America hating, de-jennerate kommie kid-fu-ers. But that’s basically what the party is today.
Van Buuuren had a veddy neddoh victody.
No wonder he only lasted one term thank God!
My opinion, it should be a rule, a Constitutional law, that any and all Presidents should only serve one term. Maybe that would force Congress to do its job!
@@nomadpi1Even better, term limit Congress.
@@slee2819youll have to term limit the unelected who really run the show. Get rid of lobbyist
@@lisaquigley-moon9583 agreed!
Good video and always a great site on UA-cam. But you could lose the baby pix.
Dutchies are everywhere 😅😜
Well presented
Wasn't Andrew Jackson the founder of the Democrat party?
Jackson was the party’s inspiration and face while Van Buren was its architect and promoter.
And this just happend to come out during "pride month". Great timing. Im sure the old man would be proud of what his party has become. Lol
This was when, the Dummycrats still had , " Common sense ".
Great video
He should see how crazy his party is today. Sheesh
Just trying to keep up with the other party.
@@tgreene4357 If the democrat party was as milk-toast tepid as the republican party.... the United States would be a merrier place.
Indeed. I agree with you.
@@tgreene4357 Libertarians? Got it 👍🏽
Lincoln would be amazed to see so many people who are theoretically Republicans flying the flag of his enemy, the Confederacy.
Thou Shalt Not Kill
No. It's actually, "Thou Shall Not Murder."
@@nomadpi1so, if you want to kill someone you make up some excuse why it's not murder it's okay?
@hansvandermeulen5515 In the original Hebrew, the word used is about murder. There are commandments on what to do about accidental killings. The person simply gave the intended meaning, bud...
@@eathecommie one can declare war on another country and commit genocide as per God's orders and that does not go against Thou shall not murder?
In case you're wondering I'm talking about the conquesr of Canaan.
@@hansvandermeulen5515 War is war. Murder is murder. The two aren't the same.
That was a horrible display of deflection questions Pierce.
This isn’t that party now
What happened in the yr 1111
Can you do Stephen King and Merian c Cooper ❤
Don’t think he was a traitor
Stephen King is overrated and he admits it himself that he can never finish a story. He does well in the beginning and middle but when it comes with the ending he uses the lazy deus ex machina.
Imagine what he would think of the 2024 Democrat Party.....?!
🤷♂️🤦♂️
He would be ashamed
I thought Jefferson was the founder of what became the Democrat party?
I thought it was Donald Trump!! 😂😂😂
He was both!
Why does Van Buren look like Trump in the thumbnail.
“ HE MARRIED HIS COUSIN “ 👀….since when this marriage practice is moral ????
So did FDR
Thank you for a fairly deep, fair and thorough biography. In view of the craziness of the Trumism of today, all politicians of bygone eras seem rather honest and well meaning. America and the world stand to loose a lot if Trump is reelected. In fact, nothing less than Democracy itself.
You should stop watching MSNBC. It’s killing your brain.
Did Trump jail dissidents? Try to bankrupt and jail opponents? Invent fake law solely for the purpose of persecution? Sic the IRS on critics? Massacre women and children as in Waco?
Democrats disgraced themselves both in office and as voters supporting every action of their banana Republic politicians.
I’m a VanB Boy from way back. Kramer knows!
Kind of interesting you mentioned the Clintons being important all the way back then even.
Buren is not in the south. It is more in the centre. Buren has city rights. Martin van Buren /Buren, van. Jan van Riebeeck came from Culemborg. Culemborg and Buren are neighbors. I lived in in the same region.
He was also canceled and later used in new vegas
Bro is in a state... a state of trance
This is a wonderful channel. I just have one request. Please do not spend so much time about biography of parents, who they were, how many children they had etc. It is a bit boring, little off topic and steals precious time of story about actual person of interest.
Rad video ❤
Van Fuuurenburen. Blame the Dutch
Change speed to 1.25x
As opposed to Armin Van Buuren, he who rocketh the dancefloor.
Martin never teamed up with Mr. Probz but did chill out with Diplo
He'd roll over in his grave if he knew what they did to his party today!
Yeah, supporting full voting rights for black people AND women… craziness
Yeah and Abe Lincoln would just LOVE how Republicans are!
Sure because Lincoln would praise Marjorie Taylor Green et al . Both parties are a disgrace who cater to fringe morons rather than caring about the best interests of America
@@angangieangela5216 ha? Blacks? You mean African Americans and is that why there's more African Americans voting Republican in the history of the party and by women do you mean real women or the democratic women that have a penis?

So
At time stamp 1728 you attribute the Norths banning of slavery to their industrialization which is factually incorrect the abolition movement started before the United States 6 of the 13 colonies had abolish slavery before the revolution Yankees were morally committed to the abolition of slavery fact.
