Early Republic Was Stress Tested for Times Like Ours (Ep. 38)

Hamilton, Adams, Jefferson and the struggle for a more perfect union. America's consciousness is indelibly shaped by the competing legacies of three distinct personalities: a fast-talking New Yorker, a quintessential Yankee, and a Virginia Squire. In his book, Hamilton, Adams, Jefferson: The Politics of Enlightenment and the American Founding, historian Darren Staloff explores the social, intellectual, and personal dynamics that shaped these men and helped define the Nation.
