The Almost First Lady: Rachel Jackson


Season 1 Episode 107


In the final edition of the Andrew Jackson series, I am taking a look at the life of his wife and soulmate, Rachel Donelson Jackson.

Though she passed away before Jackson assumed office, the marriage between Rachel and Andrew Jackson was one for the ages. Though their relationship started in scandal, a scandal that would came to haunt them as Jackson pursued national politics, it was also one of true dedication and admiration of one another.

So tune in and hear about just who Rachel Jackson was and what made their marriage so scandalous.
