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.
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."
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.
@@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.
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.
The country falls into chaos anytime the pendulum swings too far one way or another. Federal vs. local authority, and a centralized economy/monetary policy vs. a laissez-faire policy will always be the source of division. Both philosophies of government are their own worst enemies whenever they have free reign. But I agree, a healthy middle class is the best barometer of healthy economic policies. The only thing that trickled down to the poor from Reaganomics was the rich man pissing on their heads.
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?
@@impalaman9707 That is interesting, and also makes me wonder. Van Buren, Arkansas was originally called Phillips Landing, after Thomas Phillips, who settled there in 1818. The city was renamed after Martin Van Buren in 1838 and incorporated in 1845 when Polk was President. So it was a town before the formal confederate era began. It was a trading post for settlers traveling west. The status of slavery's preservation was a huge issue due to Democrat Polk's historic westward expansion. Van Buren was very popular in Arkansas because he supported the gag order on the slavery debate, and would have been considered a free-soiler in 1845. Maybe that's why they named it after him?
@@jasonjames4254 He was also president when my mother's ancestors came over here from England--his signature was on their paperwork for getting land in Missouri
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.
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
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.
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.
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 .
@@MikeBreiburg Jackson’s parents were Scots-Irish immigrants from Ulster whose ancestors were previous transplants from Northern England and Scotland. Though they generally were just referred to as Irish prior to the massive wave of Irish Catholics during the 19th Century which led to a distinction getting made. The Scots-Irish effectively became a separate ethnic group despite being very Anglo-Saxon in their genetic makeup and the outsider status shared between him and the Dutch Van Buren did a lot to shape the ethos of the party they founded which was pitted against the Eastern WASP Establishment.
@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.
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.
The worst you can say about Van Buren or anyone else for that matter, especially recently, is that he was a Democrat, in other words a supple ferret like creature who never let principle get in his way whenever there was grift or graft on the table.
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.
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.
@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.
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
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!
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.
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.
@@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.
The GOP did not even exist yet and Martin van Buren is famous for his abilities as a political organizer, which earned him the nickname “The Magician” from his peers, given how he was the chief architect of both the Democratic and Free Soil parties.

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.
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?
I bet he’d be pleased it still existed and is the oldest political party in the world. He might not be happy that non-whites are allowed to vote but that’s for the better. We’re definitely more woke now than we were back then.

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.
As opposed to Armin Van Buuren, he who rocketh the dancefloor.
Martin never teamed up with Mr. Probz but did chill out with Diplo
I got an email from FamilySearch saying Van Buren was my 7th cousin 5 times removed.
and that means nothing but perhaps you could tell us about how you did on Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon
@@robertriteman3227 Means something to me. I don't care what you think, You don't matter anyway. I'm the one related to a President.
Yes it means you are the failure in the family - congrats with that career with UBER@@petebyron1957
@@petebyron1957whoa whoa chill mate. Most people are actually related to Presidents and even Royalty in some way or another.
@@briish4615 That's all well and good speculation, but it's a little different when you have a direct connection drawn from a family tree.
This isn’t that party now
Vote out anybody disagreeing with Trumps picks.
This was when, the Dummycrats still had , " Common sense ".
The current Democratic Party still has common sense.
“ HE MARRIED HIS COUSIN “ 👀….since when this marriage practice is moral ????
So did FDR
@@45jacky77 Must be a Dutch thing. Lol
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?
@@zacharythomas8617 don't talk about your mother that way it's disrespectful
Why does Van Buren look like Trump in the thumbnail.
Imagine what he would think of the 2024 Democrat Party.....?!
🤷♂️🤦♂️
He would be ashamed
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 😮😢
I bet he’d be pleased it still existed and is the oldest political party in the world. He might not be happy that non-whites are allowed to vote but that’s for the better. We’re definitely more woke now than we were back then.

Van Fuuurenburen. Blame the Dutch
