About this book
Slander Refuted is a pair of public letters by Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), the seventh President of the United States, in which Jackson answers political attacks made against him during the bitter presidential campaigns of the 1820s. Jackson was famously sensitive to attacks on his honour and on the reputation of his wife Rachel, and across his political career he produced a series of public letters defending himself against charges relating to his marriage, his military conduct in Florida, and his business dealings. The two letters gathered here belong to that body of polemical correspondence and are a primary source for the personal political culture of the early Jacksonian period and for the rough rhetorical style of presidential campaigning before the Civil War.
