This is the first in a series of eight episodes regarding America's seventh President, Andrew Jackson. Serving as the introduction to his life, this episode dives into the nature vs nurture debate in an attempt to explain the duel-loving man that Jackson became. From an impoverished birth to his capture at the hands of the British during the revolutionary war, Andrew Jackson was fighting for his place in this world. From the classroom to the courthouse, Jackson looked for where he fit in society. It was in Nashville, in the arms of a married woman that he finally found peace.

This is the first in a series of four episodes regarding America's toxic history with xenophobia. This first episode exams the discrimination that white Europeans experienced as they attempted to assimilate to their new nation's culture. Germans, Irish, and Italians receive special focus as each deals with the nativist backlash as they attempted to "prove" their whiteness. The rise of the Know Nothings and the creation of the pseudo-scientific eugenics movement serve as inspiration for the rising Nazi movement in Germany.
