Martin Van Buren (20 gen 1837 anni – 19 gen 1841 anni)

Descrizione:

A shrewd politician, unable to get elected for a second term as a financial panic hit the country and the stock market crashed. The first president to be born a citizen of the United States and not a British subject. He rose quickly in New York politics, winning a U.S. Senate seat in 1821 and presiding over a sophisticated state political organization. Van Buren helped form the new Democratic Party from a coalition of Jeffersonian Republicans who backed the military hero and president Andrew Jackson. A favorite of Jackson’s, Van Buren won the White House.
