Know Your Presidents #nn

This General Motors-sponsored educational comic presents dramatic biographical narratives of American presidents, highlighting key moments from their lives and administrations. The visible pages feature Andrew Jackson, who rose from frontier origins to become the seventh president and founder of the Democratic Party; Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth president who survived impeachment and championed the Fourteenth Amendment and voting rights during Reconstruction; Ulysses S. Grant, whose military leadership preceded his two-term presidency marked by Reconstruction policies and transcontinental railroad completion; and Woodrow Wilson, the twenty-seventh president who initially kept America out of World War I before declaring war in 1917, subsequently working toward peace through the League of Nations despite its Senate rejection. Each president's entry combines portraiture, historical vignettes, and narrative captions to convey pivotal events and contributions to American history.
