Episode Synopsis

We often look at our divisive, shrill, and angry politics as somehow outside of some vague norm, or worse than at any time in our past. Go back to go forward as we look at the Election of 1800 and how two parties reduced themselves to name-calling and lies, and still agreed to the first peaceful exchange of power between opposing parties in history.Read Jefferson's First Inaugural: https://tinyurl.com/3ymdeh6dRead Hamilton's thoughts on Aaron Burr: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-25-02-0140#potus #elections #jefferson #adamsHost: Jeff SikkengaExecutive Producer: Jeremy GyptonSubscribe: https://linktr.ee/theamericanidea
