Extractions: Courtesy of the Library of Congress Only about 5 feet, 6 inches tall, but trim and erect, Martin Van Buren dressed fastidiously. His impeccable appearance belied his amiabilityand his humble background. Of Dutch descent, he was born in 1782, the son of a tavernkeeper and farmer, in Kinderhook, New York. As a young lawyer he became involved in New York politics. As leader of the "Albany Regency," an effective New York political organization, he shrewdly dispensed public offices and bounty in a fashion calculated to bring votes. Yet he faithfully fulfilled official duties, and in 1821 was elected to the United States Senate. By 1827 he had emerged as the principal northern leader for Andrew Jackson. President Jackson rewarded Van Buren by appointing him Secretary of State. As the Cabinet Members appointed at John C. Calhoun's recommendation began to demonstrate only secondary loyalty to Jackson, Van Buren emerged as the President's most trusted adviser. Jackson referred to him as, "a true man with no guile."

Extractions: Eigth President Martin was born in Kinderhook, New York on December 5, 1782. He was a lawyer. Martin had four sons. When he was vice president, he presided over the Senate wearing a pair of pistols, as a precaution against the frequent outbursts of violence. Martin had large mutton-chop sideburns. He was the first president born an American citizen. His predecessors all were born before the Declaration of Independence and thus were born British subjects. Van Buren was one of the founders of the Democratic Party. Johnson, Van Buren's Vice President was the only Vice President to be selected by the U.S. Senate. Since no one had received a majority of the electoral votes the Senate had to elect the Vice President. The U.S. had several problems during his term. Soon after he became President, hundreds of banks failed causing financial panic. Also, the arguments about slavery became more intense. While he was President he was given two tiger cubs by the Sultan of Oman.

Extractions: Martin Van Buren was the eighth president and the first to be born in the newly independent nation. As the descendant of Dutch immigrants, he was also the first president whose ethnic background wasn't mostly from the British Isles. He was best known for his shrewd political skills. He considered himself a follower of Thomas Jefferson and was one of the founders of the Democratic Party. We have Van Buren to thank for the expression "OK." He was from Kinderhook, New York, which was sometimes referred to as "Old Kinderhook." "O.K. Clubs" were created to support Van Buren's political campaigns, and the expression "OK" came to mean "all right."

Extractions: The good luck which led to Van Buren's ascent to the presidency turned sour during his one term as president. In 1836, Jackson withdrew federal deposits from the Bank of America in Philadelphia and allotted it to banks around the country and removed restrictions on inflationary practices of some state banks. This created a boom in investments initially, but it led to a bust when consumer confidence in banks dwindled. During Van Buren's presidency hundreds of banks and other businesses failed in what was at the time the worst depression the U.S. history. Also during Van Buren's term a boundary dispute with Canada erupted, relations between the U.S. and Mexico grew tense due to a dispute over what later became Texas, and "the Trail of Tears" led to the death or forced removal of thousands of Native Americans from their homes. In 1840 Van Buren was soundly defeated by a campaign by William Henry Harrison and John Tyler ("Tippecanoe and Tyler too"). In 1848, Van Buren made an unsuccessful bid for the presidency as candidate for the the Free-Soil Party, a party of Northerners opposed to the expansion of slavery into the western territories.

Extractions: Wan Buren was the natural successor to Jackson's variety of democracy. He was faced, however, with economic trouble that became known as the "Panic of 1837." Van Buren was never able to recover from their economic crisis. Elected: Martin Van Buren was born in Kinderhook, New York in 1782 , thus becoming the first President to be born an American. His parents spoke Dutch at home. His father owned a tavern, where he spent much of his childhood listening to the political arguments that took place there. Van Buren's formal education ended at the age of 14, when he began to study law under Francis Sylvester, a prominent Federalist attorney. Van Buren was admitted to the bar in 1803. From 1812-1820 Van Buren served as a New York State Senator. Martin Van Buren, the first President to be born under the American flag, was known as a capable administrator. He spent most of his Presidency dealing with the problems left over from the Jackson Presidency. The primary problem was the economic recession that struck soon after he entered office. Van Buren opposed any attempts at government intervention. He was committed to keeping the United States solvent, thus he cut back federal spending, which no doubt exacerbated the economic problems.

World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History , eighth president of the United States, vice president, U.S. senator, governor of New York. Hardworking, quick at collecting and absorbing facts, and a good judge of character, Martin Van Buren was in his early career an exceptionally able trial lawyer who gained a reputation for his political skills. Van Buren at first supported Aaron Burr in his efforts to break the influence of the great families that had ruled New York for several generations. But soon discovering that Burr was doomed to defeat, he changed sides and allied himself with DeWitt Clinton, then the rising star in New York politics. Constantly on the move attending sessions of the various courts, Van Buren widened his acquaintances among lawyers and officials throughout the state and utilized this network to build a political organization. For many years known as the "Albany Regency," it dominated the politics of the state. Van Buren's novel tactics, his patronage policies, and his understanding of communication and discipline anticipated modern political practices. As such, he was the principle architect of the second American party system.

Born in the Dutch community of Kinderhook, New York (the first president to be born after the Revolution), Van Buren became a leader of the Democratic party in the state of New York. Before joining the U.S. Senate in 1821 he established the "Albany Regency," a political organization to run the state in his absence. In the Senate Van Buren successfully led the fight to abolish debtors' prison and tried to stop the extension of the slave trade. As a supporter of Andrew Jackson for president in the election of 1828 , Van Buren ran for and won the post of governor of New York to ensure that Jackson would receive the state's electoral votes. Jackson rewarded him by appointing him secretary of state in 1829. Van Buren supported Jackson's unpopular policies toward the Bank of the United States and stood by him when Jackson reorganized his cabinet during the Eaton affair . In 1831 Van Buren was, by one vote, denied confirmation as minister to Great Britain by anti-Jackson forces in Congress.

Extractions: Executive summary: 8th US President, 1837-41 Martin Van Buren, eighth president of the United States, was born at Kinderhook, New York, on the 5th of December 1782, of Dutch descent. His father was a farmer and tavern-keeper. His education was limited to that which could be obtained in the common schools and at Kinderhook Academy, and there is testimony to the effect that as late as 1829, when he became secretary of state, he wrote crudely and incorrectly. In 1796 he began the study of law, completing his preparation in 1802 at New York, where he studied under William Peter Van Ness (1778-1826), an eminent lawyer and later Aaron Burr 's second in the duel with Alexander Hamilton . Van Buren made the acquaintance of Burr, but did not fall under his influence. In 1803 he was admitted to the bar and continued in active and successful practice for twenty-five years. His practice made him financially independent, and paved the way for his entrance into politics. New York politics after 1800, the year of the election of

Extractions: Few people ever really knew Martin Van Buren. The impeccable attire, ready wit, and unfailing tact that set him apart from his contemporaries masked a nagging sense of insecurity that dogged him throughout his political career. His father, a tavern keeper of modest means, had been able to provide him with only a rudimentary education. One of Van Buren's better-educated associates observed that his "knowledge of books outside of his profession was more limited than that of any other public man" he had ever known and that Van Buren never prepared a state paper without asking a friend to "revise and correct that document." Van Buren received his real education in the turbulent and factious world of New York politics, and he was an apt pupil. He learned to hold his counsel as others debated the hotly contested issues of the day, carefully observing the course of a debate and weighing all of the issues before staking out a position of his own. "Even after deciding on a course of action," one scholar has observed, "Van Buren might move with an air of evasiveness." Circumspect to a fault, he "enjoyed a name for noncommittalism that survived when most other things about him were forgotten." Reviled as a "schemer" and a master "manipulator" by contemporaries who lacked (and probably envied) his uncanny political acumen, he was known throughout his career by an unparalleled assortment of nicknames, none of them entirely favorable. But "the Little Magician" (also known as "the American Talleyrand," "the Red Fox of Kinderhook," the "Mistletoe Politician," and by a variety of other sobriquets) left a solid record of accomplishment that few of his better-known fellows could rival. More than any other individual of his time, Van Buren realized the importance of party organization, discipline, and political patronage. He engineered
