Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the American People, Vol. 4 of 5 It was a second democratization of the government. Andyet it differed radically from the first, which Mr. Jefferson had so shrewdly contrived. There was no kinship either in Spirit or in method between Mr. Jef ferson and this new hero of democracy. Mr. Jefferson had, indeed, expressed the greatest alarm at the pros pect of seeing General Jackson President. He is, he said, one of the most unfit men I know of for the place. He has had very little respect for laws or constitutions, and is, in fact, an able military chief. His passions are terrible. He has been much tried since I knew him, but he is a dangerous man. And had Mr. Jeffer son lived to Witness the result, he would hardly have altered his judgment. He had stood, for all he was so full of democratic doctrine, for conservative ways of political growth. General Jackson stood, it turned out, for personal government, party proscriptions, and the self - willed choices of personal power.
