I know we're going to see one and we're going to talk about some others.

But, you know, as I was looking at just some of the stuff you've done, I also saw that you restored an 1817 guitar that now lives at the Hermitage.
Manuel DelgadoGUEST
20:59
So that guitar belonged to Sarah York Jackson, which was Andrew Jackson's daughter-in-law.
Manuel DelgadoGUEST
21:06
And she actually served as the first lady for a short while also.
Manuel DelgadoGUEST
21:18
And it was through, I believe, the Country Music Hall of Fame, Jack Clutter, who is their musical instrument curator, and he's like my adopted son.
Manuel DelgadoGUEST
21:27
He was my apprentice when he was a young man.
Manuel DelgadoGUEST
21:31
He told them about me, and I got to go look at the instrument at the Hermitage, evaluate it.
Manuel DelgadoGUEST
21:39
It needed a lot of work.

The Hermitage, Bellevue and Edmondson Pike libraries are the most popular places to vote early, which I was personally surprised to hear.

Andrew Jackson, he meets not long after that.
Richard BrookhiserGUEST

He goes up the Cumberland River to Nashville and then to the Hermitage.
Richard BrookhiserGUEST

And Jackson is the gracious host.

I noticed that in Leviser's account of the trip, Leveser quoted some people, some Tennesseans there who were saying, well, you know, Jackson, he'll probably give us an example of manumission.

The Final Days of Every U.S. President: Shocking True Stories from Washington to Carter

Basically, his body was done, but Jackson refused to acknowledge it.
speaker_0NARRATOR
18:47
He spent his final days at his estate, The Hermitage, in Tennessee, surrounded by family.
speaker_0NARRATOR
18:54
According to those present, he remained lucid and opinionated until the very end, which tracks perfectly for a man who once beat an assassin with his cane after the assassin’s pistols misfired.
speaker_0NARRATOR
19:08
Jackson’s last words were reportedly, "I hope to meet you all in heaven, both white and black," which is a sentiment that sounds nice until you remember this is the guy who owned over one hundred slaves and orchestrated the Trail of Tears, forcibly removing thousands of Native Americans from their land, resulting in thousands of deaths.
speaker_0NARRATOR
20:11
The dropsy made his final months agonizing, but Jackson, ever defiant, held on longer than anyone expected.
speaker_0NARRATOR
20:19
His funeral was massive.
speaker_0NARRATOR
20:21
Thousands attended, cannons fired, speeches were given, and Andrew Jackson was buried in his garden at The Hermitage next to his beloved wife, Rachel, who had died years earlier, partly, he believed, due to the vicious attacks on her character during his presidential campaign.
speaker_0NARRATOR
20:41
Love him or hate him, Jackson’s impact on America was undeniable, but not every president left such a dramatic mark.

The deaths were consequence.

Jackson left office in 1837, returned to The Hermitage, his plantation in Tennessee, and lived eight more years, still feuding, still corresponding, still convinced he’d save the Union and expanded democracy, even as the nation inched toward fracture.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
28:12
He died in 1845, and his last words were reportedly, “I hope to meet you all in heaven, both white and black,” which is either wishful thinking or a plea that history did not grant.

28:24
After excess, a man of careful grooming and careful politics.

Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory himself, the man who won duels and defied Supreme Court rulings and generally terrified everyone around him, retired to his plantation in Tennessee and became surprisingly domestic.
speaker_0NARRATOR
16:27
After leaving office in eighteen thirty-seven, Jackson went home to the Hermitage, his estate near Nashville, and he did something unusual for the time.
speaker_0NARRATOR
16:37
He stayed there.
speaker_0NARRATOR
16:39
He didn't run for office again.
speaker_0NARRATOR
17:07
His endorsement still mattered even years after he left office.

17:12
But here's the interesting part about Jackson's final years.
speaker_0NARRATOR
17:15
He'd freed the enslaved people he'd held at the Hermitage before his death, not during his lifetime, but in his will, which is complicated because it means he knew slavery was wrong enough to end it eventually, but not wrong enough to end it immediately.
speaker_0NARRATOR
17:33
That kind of moral contradiction defined Jackson's entire life.

However, after digging into the history of my street, I saw that it may very well have been built over an old carriage path, even older than the Civil War.
David Ray SkinnerHOST
3:13
a path that would carry a man who would become President of the United States, Andrew Jackson, from the Hermitage, his home, to the Tennessee State Capitol in downtown Nashville throughout the early 1800s.
David Ray SkinnerHOST
3:28
So, if I close my eyes, I can just envision Jackson's carriage rolling down my road passing our driveway with my dad's 1956 two-tone Chevrolet Bel Air sitting there in the gravel.

Needless to say, Nashville and Middle Tennessee were steeped in history.
