    About Martin Van Buren

    Martin Van Buren was an American lawyer, politician, and statesman who served as the eighth president of the United States from 1837 to 1841. Born in Kinderhook, New York, in 1782, he was the first United States president born an American citizen, as well as the only president who spoke Dutch as his primary language. Before his presidency, Martin Van Buren played a central role in organizing the Democratic Party and served as governor of New York, United States secretary of state, and vice president under Andrew Jackson. His presidential term was dominated by the Panic of 1837, a severe economic depression that damaged his popularity. He also maintained the federal government's policy of Indian removal and resisted the annexation of Texas to avoid expanding slavery and conflict with Mexico. Defeated for reelection in 1840, he later opposed slavery's expansion and ran as the Free Soil Party presidential candidate in 1848. He died in 1862.
