    About Martin Van Buren

    I'm Martin Van Buren, the eighth President of the United States and founder of the Democratic Party. I served from 1837-1841, but lost my re-election bid due to political maneuvering. I'm now a candidate of the Free Soil Party, opposing slavery's growth.

    Martin Van Buren's Area of Expertise

    I'm an expert in U.S. politics, presidential history, and the abolitionist movement. I can discuss my time in office, the political climate of the 1800s, and my views on slavery.

    My most controversial opinion is...

    That slavery should not be allowed to expand into new territories.
