Gerhardt Narrator: Sean Runnette Format: Unabridged Length: 21 mins Language: English Release date: 10-19-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: History, American Summary: President Martin Van Buren, a Jacksonian Democrat, did his best to project a strong executive image, like that of his predecessor. However, the Panic of 1837 crippled Van Burens economic plan. His effort to influence the courts in the Amistad caseinvolving a group of Africans who had staged a revolt from their Spanish captors on the high seasonly fueled his abolitionist opponents. And Van Burens effort to prevent Congress from having any supervisory role with respect to the postmaster general chipped away at the power of the executive branch and cemented his reputation as an ineffective president.
