This film is a fragment (going on a loop) of the film of Jackson Pollock painting - it was shot by Hans Namuth (1950) and release(1950) and released as "Jackson Pollock 51" (1951). The sound is not synchronous, but can be understood and really makes you "feel" the time period. (01:20)

Riches, Rivals, and Radicals is filled with characters whose fervor fueled the revolution that changed America's museums.“Riches, Rivals and Radicals: 100 Years of Museums In America” shows that the museum world does not lack heroes and visionaries: Franklin Delano Roosevelt believed that museums were part of the very “warp and woof” of democracy. His Works Progress Administration employment program engaged artists—such as Jackson Pollock and Jacob Lawrence, who worked in museums. John Cotton Dana, founder of New Jersey’s Newark Museum created integrated art classes and apprenticeship programs for young women seeking museum careers. He exhibited factory objects as works of art to increase awareness of the contributions of immigrant factory workers. Julius Rosenwald, founder of Sears and Roebuck also founded the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. Frank Oppenheimer, the nuclear physicist, founded San Francisco’s Exploratorium in 1969.

This video shows how Jackson forced the Indian tribes living East of the Mississippi by passing legislation to that effect. The legislation was overthrown by the Supreme Court, but Jackson refused to abide by this decision. This video shows the horrid conditions that the Indians went through and their Trail of Tears. It also explains the nullification act of South Carolina brought to Jackson by Calhoun, an early separatist. These are good talking points for students. (03:32)

Video discusses how Jackson fought in the Revolutionary War when he was just thirteen, how Jackson led the American army to the most surprising victory in its history in the Battle of New Orleans, how Jackson was the first great champion of the common white man -- but also "owned" over a hundred black Americans; how Jackson dramatically expanded the United States -- by brutally wresting vast regions of the south from Native Americans; how Jackson, in one of the boldest political strokes in history, founded the Democratic Party -- and yet was viewed by his enemies as an American Napoleon. The film concludes with the words of Jackson's first biographer, "Andrew Jackson was a patriot, and a traitor. He was the greatest of generals, and wholly ignorant of the art of war. He was the most candid of men, and capable of the profoundest dissimulation. He was a democratic autocrat, an urbane savage, an atrocious saint."

A brief look at Andrew Jackson and the Indian Removal Act of 1830 is the subject of this three minute video. It tells the way the Act was fought by the tribe and they were backed by the Supreme Court. Jackson ignored this and thousands of Native Americans died in the Trail of Tears episode. The Nullification Act is also explained as the South starts to fight the Constitution and start steps resulting in the Civil War at a later date.

Video accompanied by text. "In its first years, the Second Bank of the United States weathered an economic panic and an important court case. These were not, however, to be the last of its troubles. Other forces were at work that would oppose and eventually destroy the Second Bank of the United States..."
Early in the 1820s, Henry Clay, a representative from Kentucky and political rival of Jackson, advocated and helped implement what became known as the American System for developing a strong national economy.
