Review:

It turns out that Trump and Andrew Jackson had a lot in common.  It is utterly frustrating that the hierarchy of the South remains the status quo in the United States.  This book does a good job of distilling how this happens and asks the question whether the US is going to live up to the concept of all people being created equal.
