    Year(s) Discussed: 1813-1814 Within a few months' time, Andrew Jackson went from having a depleted force under his command to achieving one of the most decisive victories in his military career. In this episode, we explore how that transpired and the ramifications that this would have for the Native peoples of the Gulf South. Meanwhile, back in Washington, President Madison was in a showdown with the US Senate and had to make some decisions on how to stabilize his tumultuous administration.

Join me and my special guest, Alycia from Civics & Coffee, as we examine the remainder of Rush's life and lengthy career which saw him shift parties due to changing political circumstances and took him to Queen Victoria's England as well as Paris during the Revolutions of 1848.
