Find out as we rate Andrew Jackson, one of the most controversial presidents.

After spending some time getting to know the Tzar and the war torn countries of Europe, John finds himself back home. He has plans. Big plans.

With these attributes behind him, the sky is the limit.

It's time Madison meets Dolly. Fed up with politics, this wonderful woman reinvigerates Madison's zeal for political life. And he will need that zeal. Because the British and coming!
