Big Woes for the “Little Magician”:

1. Van Buren followed Jackson's coattails right into the White House, but Van Buren was no Jackson.Jackson was the people's president, a common guy himself.

2. Van Buren was very smart, crafty, experienced, and effective, but he lacked the "people's touch" and personality of a Jackson.

While on the other hand,
Old Hickory personified the rising "New Democracy."
