Write a 2- page paper about one (1) of the presidents on this timeline. Choose only one (1) president to research (you will not receive extra points for writing about more than one) and be sure you are choosing someone from 1825-1861 (not including Abraham Lincoln). Include, at minimum, the following information but feel free to add additional information from your research.

Election information that made him president (opponent, vote result, significant moments/speeches, etc.)
Important events during presidency, specifically events that may have contributed to the eventual Civil War
Post-presidency relevant information, including death
Be specific in your examples and cite all sources. The textbook can be a source, but you will need more information than is found in the text, so plan to include at least two additional academic sources for a total of three (3) sources. Citations- both in-text and on References page- need to be in APA format.
