Summary

Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, was a man of humble origins who rose to become one of the most powerful and controversial figures in American history. His presidency was a time of great change and upheaval, as the United States grappled with issues such as democracy, slavery, and the role of the federal government.

This book tells the story of Jackson's life and presidency, from his humble beginnings on the frontier to his rise to power as a national hero and eventually president. It explores his controversial policies, such as Indian removal and the Bank War, as well as his lasting legacy on the United States.

Jackson was a complex and contradictory figure. He was a strong leader who defended the interests of the common man, but he was also a ruthless politician who used his power to crush his enemies. He was a slave owner who believed in the expansion of slavery, but he also worked to improve the lives of Native Americans.

Jackson's presidency was a turning point in American history. He helped to shape the United States into the nation it is today, and his legacy continues to be debated today. This book provides a comprehensive and balanced account of Jackson's life and presidency, making it an essential read for anyone interested in American history.

In this book, you will learn about:

* Jackson's humble origins and his rise to power
* His military career and his victory at the Battle of New Orleans
* His controversial policies, such as Indian removal and the Bank War
* His lasting legacy on the United States

    What are you hiding? 
    Chances are there is something about you that makes you different, that makes you feel you don’t belong. Many of us hide—our ethnicity, sexuality, mental health, disability, religion…the list goes on. The diversity and inclusion movement has emboldened some to come out of the shadows. But too often, disability is not included in that conversation. 
    Ruth Rathblott was born with a limb difference. In her compelling and intimate memoir, she recounts the exhausting and often lonely years she spent overachieving and trying to hide her disability before she learned to unhide. She takes us on a journey of self-discovery: discovering her difference, being taught to hide it, and ultimately finding self-acceptance and connection with others. 
    This book will show you how to build a world of true acceptance, inclusion, and belonging. By the end, you will understand the need to:Own your difference—it’s your greatest gift!Find connection and community by allowing others in to support youCreate inclusive conversations that allow for curiosity and empathyRecognize why representation is essential to creating an inclusive environmentRealize the power of sharing your story 
    Singlehandedly is a book for all of us who have been hiding our differences and want to find freedom, for leaders who want to build more inclusive teams, and for diversity and inclusion directors committed to expanding the diversity conversation to include everyone.

    Inquisition - The Infamous...

    Perhaps you have heard of the horrible stories of the Spanish, Portuguese, or French inquisition, the Catholic body of persecutors who would arrest the supposed “heathens” and accuse them of witchcraft, heresies, blasphemy, adultery, and a whole list of other sins or crimes. Torture, interrogations, executions, burnings, and other inhumane methods were used to then force, coerce, or kill the victims of this Catholic organization within the church at the time. 
    We are talking mostly about medieval times, when the power of the Catholic church extended throughout Europe. The Inquisition, typically called the "Holy Inquisition" in middle ages clerical terms, was a series of organizations within the Catholic Church whose objective was to fight heresy. Research studies of the archives have exposed that the large bulk of sentences were penances, but that cases of repeat unrepentant apostates were given nonreligious courts, where they were normally executed or sentenced to life. The Inquisition was established in 12th-century France to fight spiritual variance (such as apostasy or heresy), particularly amongst the Cathars and Waldensians. The Middle ages Inquisition describes the inquisitorial courts that existed from this time till the mid-15th century. 
    Discover the pain, the frustration, the hypocrisy, and the drama behind the inquisition. Learn more about their motives, their methods, their superiors, and their murdering.
