Inauguration Day Shock Into Washington Frontiersmen
The 1829 Jackson inauguration brought a flood of frontiersmen to Washington. Andrew Jackson’s private secretary was his adopted son Andrew Jackson Donelson, with Emily Donelson as White House hostess. The Nullification controversy loomed as Congress risked civil conflict over tariffs and states’ rights. Jackson’s early stance appeared cautious, then a full message to Congress soon after set the stage for forceful federal action.
