I have not been posting as many blog entries as I might lately because I have been writing the Internet Biography of Andrew Jackson. President Jackson's life has been divided into web page sized chunks, beginning with his life as a child-soldier.
Today I posted Andrew Jackson for President, Act I. This was a crucial point in American history, as it marks the inception of the Democratic Party (not called that quite yet) and the modern two-party, one oligarchy system.
That puts me more than halfway through Andrew's life, but he does not become President until 1828, and of course his presidency will take up much of the biography.
Tomorrow on my to do list is writing up the draft results of the political redistricting process for California. That will be in my California Democracy blog.
