About this listen

Unlike other biographies, the Making of America series goes beyond individual narratives linking influential figures to create an overarching story of America's growth that will deepen understanding of the country we live in today.

This bundle featuring Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln, and Andrew Jackson tells the story of American constitutional history from the founding of the nation through the end of the Civil War.

Listeners will begin by learning about Alexander Hamilton, a man who envisioned his country as a multi-racial, urbanized, capitalistic America with a strong central government. Hamilton's story epitomizes the American dream and leads nicely into the story of Andrew Jackson. Born in the Carolina backwoods, Jackson joined the American Revolutionary War at the age of 13. He then went on to become a consequential, polarizing figure in history. Finally, Abraham Lincoln's life and contributions are considered. One of America's most beloved presidents, Lincoln guided the United States through the Civil War, helped end slavery in America, and strengthened the federal government.

Each historical figure discussed in this bundle made an everlasting impact on America's trajectory, and their contributions can be seen in almost every facet of our government.
