ideal. This is Justin Richmond, host of Broken Record. Lexis is a company that believes in the importance of setting a standard, which I can appreciate as someone who holds themselves to lofty if not ridiculous standards, especially with the car I drive. The standard Lex has set for themselves is to experience amazing. Alexis measures success by the feeling and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy.
Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in a feeling in drivers that their car was built in anticipation. of them. Machines that make you feel more human. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing.

Andrew Jackson's home in Nashville, Tennessee. Today Keith shares the story of Jackson's rowdy inauguration. Take it away, Keith. Jackson has all of these, what we would call diverse constituencies, that were supporting him. He was running against the quote unquote Eastern establishment.
And this feeds into what happened. in the election, but then in Washington afterwards. Mm-hmm.
Now, in 1828, Quincy Adams was running for re-election, and Jackson had been campaigning all along, building his support and so forth. And the term, of course, we had used in 20th century and now 21st century politics is mudslinging.
Now, I would suggest to you in the election of 1828, mud slinging rose to the level of using shovels to sling it. It was harsh. The issue with Jackson and Rachel's marriage, and that the nicest thing that was said about Rachel. From those opposing Jackson, was said by John Quincy Adams himself when he said a divorced woman was not fit to live in the White House. And it went down from there.
Rachel heard and read some of these things, and ultimately Rachel would die within weeks of them being notified that Jackson had won the election and had won it overwhelmingly. And the symptoms Jackson records, although there was not an autopsy, but the symptoms Jackson records. Is indicative, or I would say, consistent of a massive coronary event.
So It's likely a heart attack. This was the situation in terms of the election very bitter, and that was from both sides, and name calling and insinuations about certain things. John Quincy Adams, of course, was not particularly happy at the result and was somewhat embittered toward Jackson. And Jackson pretty much felt the same way about John Quincy Adams.
So there's no love loss there. But what did happen? Jackson was called the people's president. I see it twofold. It was because of Jackson's humble beginnings.
Jackson genuinely felt a tie with common folk because he had lived it for a good part of his life. He'd been orphaned by his family at 14. He's the only president to have fought the British in both the Revolution and the War of 1812. He had been captured in the War of 1812 at age 14, making him the only POW who's ever been president of this country. And he's the first person who was not born an aristocrat or born into an aristocratic family that became President of the United States.
So The people, in large measure, embraced him as one of them. Jackson would say, I'm champion of the common man. We would say the average Joe. Of course, he's been elected, he's been certified, but in between that, his wife has died, and he is mourning her. and he receives a letter it could be found in the papers of Andrew Jackson, But they're writing him a letter, How soon can you get to Washington?
And they in essence are saying We've never had somebody. wasn't living in the Washington area or along the coast and didn't have all of these connections with the establishment. And they were real concerned about what was going to happen. You know, is the system going to break down? Plus you've got a we've got a totally different guy from a totally different place.
Is it gonna break down? Is he gonna actually show and come from there to here? Is he going to be on time for the inauguration? How is it going to be received? and so forth.
He comes, and he comes, certainly. In time. But he didn't just win the election and go right up there because he's dealing with his family situation, with the death of his wife, and so forth. but he gets there, And There is a scene that had not been seen in America up until that time. This was the people's president.
And the people showed up.
Now I have heard tales of there were 40,000 people in Washington. But a reasonable estimate Its fifteen to twenty thousand people showed up for the inauguration. This is the first large-scale inauguration. This is the first inauguration. That's set.
a trend for inaugurations after that. This was done outside. off uh on the east wing of the capital. Jackson's inaugural speech. was about ten minutes long.
And thankfully so, Because while it was a pretty decent speech, There's no amplification. You've got 15 to 20,000 people. I'm not sure who heard it, if anybody. except those immediately around him. Because there was no means of projecting it.
Of course, later on, it was published in the papers and received. for the most part, very positive reviews. But Jackson did that. And then they went and exited out the west side. A horse was provided for Jackson.
They're carriages. There. Wagons, their carts. There's a group of Revolutionary War soldiers. You know, of course the inaugural committee and others that this is just a mass movement of people to the White House.
Now Jackson had no intention of attending the inaugural ball or anything like that, because he was still in mourning. He had black crepe. Armband? Black coat, black top hat. That was a sign.
of mourning for his wife Rachel. He didn't feel in the mood, but he also did not feel that it was appropriate to engage in celebration of that sort during the mourning period for his wife. But Jackson did feel it was necessary and important to hold a reception. Because The number of people who had shown up. the variety of people who had shown up, and for first time America had elected a president from those people.
There was still a limited constituency compared to what we experience. But it was certainly greatly broadened and energized since the election of 1824.
So Jackson was going to hold a reception in the White House. It turned out to be one of the most talked about events in American history. Because so many people showed up. Because this is a reception not for dignitaries. This is a reception to the people of the United States.
to meet and greet their new president. By the time Jackson got back to first floor, the White House was full. There was a crush of people when he came in to see him, so much so there was fear for the fact that he might physically be crushed to death in that house.
So at one point, a ring of his friends encircled him to keep that from happening. But in the meantime, as they were trying to bring out refreshments, people were trying to get a view of Jackson. Many of the refreshments We're spelled. I've seen one report that said every piece of White House China was broken. But we know certainly There were considerable breakage to the china, the serving pieces.
Yeah, there's the typical story you hear of the guy with the muddy boots got on the beautifully upholstered, expensively upholstered chair. to stand to see Jackson. Whether his boots were muddy or not, I don't know. But people were getting up on the furniture. trying just to get a glimpse of the man they had just elected.
Not had been elected, but they had elected. And so finally They got food and drink. Mm. As far as drink there were s barrels of it. Out onto the lawn, and by that time, most of the crowd followed, including some who apparently jumped out of some of the windows to get there.
Some people wrote in amazement about that.
Some people wrote in horror. Because America had never witnessed a day. like that day. America had become a different place. with adolescent.
And with that man, And for all of his good and bad, He had broken the mould. Of what founding fathers had conceived of as the type of person who should be president. And a special thanks to Gavin Liestro for producing this piece and Caleb Robinson for the editing. And a special thanks also to Keith Hardison, former Director of Interpretation. At the Hermitage, And that is Andrew Jackson's home.
In Nashville, Tennessee. And this is the first time somebody like Jackson was elected to become president.
Someone who didn't come from the blue bloods, did not come from the aristocracy, came from the people, voted by the people in the people. People's president. And from all places, Nashville, Tennessee. And up he comes and the party starts. And let's just say the party gets, well, a little out of control to some and just a good time to others.
The story of the bash that became, well, more than a bash, the rowdy inauguration of the People's President Andrew Jackson. Here on Our American Stories. Hey, it's Bobby from the Bobby Bones Show.
