In one of the most volatile elections in American history, two titans clash—John Quincy Adams, the embattled incumbent, and Andrew Jackson, the war hero fueled by vengeance. But as accusations of corruption and betrayal surface, this isn’t just a political battle—it’s a fight for the nation’s survival.
The South seethes with anger. Whispers of secession grow louder. Assassination attempts loom. In the heart of this storm, Jackson’s loyal allies—including the legendary Davy Crockett—navigate a ruthless world of power struggles, fierce debates, and backroom deals.
1828 is a gripping historical political thriller that reimagines a pivotal moment in U.S. history. Will the Union survive, or will the country be torn apart before it truly begins?
