Dr. Lovegall is a real historian and Pulitzer Prize winning author.
I don’t know how much it could help or if it has the details you’re most looking for.
This rules, thx for sharing—will def give a listen!
My inspiration came from Daniel O’Brien’s How To Fight Presidents—would highly recommend, easily the best presidents-related book I’ve read.
I don't agree with the notion that we can make excuses for inhumanity because it was a different time. If we have the cognitive ability to recognize injustice, so did they. In fact, there were plenty of people back then--including John Adams and John Quincy Adams--that didn't own slaves, and five states outlawed slavery before Washington even became president. So respectfully, we'll have to agree to disagree.
Also, since no comprehensive study on the Sullivan Expedition's effects on the natives came out before 2018, the main study that statistically estimates deaths and destruction of native property is behind a paywall, but the abstract, figures and tables provided still record at least several hundred deaths and thousands of homes, cattle, crops and other property destroyed.
For those interested, there's some more information on inaugural medals and badges here.

I could only find hats without the 39, but this hat actually looks good I may buy one myself.
There’s a whole book on the complex Ike-Nixon relationship and another on Nixon-Agnew
> half the US population
Ok, you have got to be pulling this out of your ass. High school completion rates are at an all-time high. 90% of the population 25 and older have a high school diploma.
> I’m 100% sure
You really shouldn’t be. This is a compilation of historians’ reactions to Hamilton and they’ve been largely positive as it has actually sparked interest in History.
> photo from 1862 book
And that is largely irrelevant to the point at hand. Is anything diminished about the character of these people by casting actors of color to play them in a stage musical?
> they’re a history buff
And I have a fucking degree in history. What’s your point? Anyone getting way too up worked up over the casting choices in a musical is wound way too tight.
> and I can tell you’re English
Born and raised in Texas muchacho.
Literally at the house where Abe died. They built a museum and gift shop right beside it.

You should try Presidential Chronicles by David Fisher. The books are concise, yet robust overviews of every president's life at about 100-150 pages per president. They are pretty detailed and give a neutral view of each president.
You can get kindle version on amazon of volumes of 5 presidents or a kindle version of each book about a president. There are currently three volumes out that go up to James Buchanan.
Here's a link if you're interested.
Also, if you are looking for something more digestible, the author has a video series on each president. 10 videos of about 10 minutes each. They're very easy to watch and entertaining. Here is a link.

For those interested, this is from my catalogue of presidential inaugural medals -- https://www.amazon.com/Official-Inaugural-Medals-Matthew-Chiarello/dp/B08WK9TLY1/ref=sr\_1\_6?crid=2GGD6STP2MN3&keywords=matthew+chiarello&qid=1646273719&sprefix=matthew+chiarello%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-6
I think this one is quite good.
Him recognizing the Confederacy wouldn't have been a complete certainty, but was a definite possibility
>Historian Jean H. Baker explains Buchanan's behavior in terms of his Southern leanings, his long‐standing friendship with Southerners, and his choice of strong Southern personalities for his cabinet. She suggests that if it had not been for Joseph Holt, Edwin Stanton, and Jeremiah Black, Buchanan might have recognized the Confederate States of America.

borneman's Polk is one of the best, and a personal favorite. I found it very centrist, and non bias, a good read but more so, it showed how Polk was less of a dark horse and more someone they saw coming, but just not those who desired the white house.
It gives real insight into his term. Almost as much as visiting Polk house Columbia Tenn. often over looked for the more popular Hermitage in Nashville, a must visit for any presidential historian / fan.
I also remember a book called, “Nixon’s Third Term” that talked about how he was the shadow-advisor for Clinton since no one else wanted to help Bill in 1993 and no one else was willing to bring Nixon back in the fold. Can’t seem to find the book online though. Could have misremembered the title.
If you want video, the Frost interviews on YouTube are a good place to start.
