John Adams Jr., Year 2

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, we will talk about the scariest thing John Adams did during his second year as President of the United States: signing the Alien & Sedition Acts. This episode may not be scary, but it sure will be frustrating, which is certainly how it feels to have to take down all those giant spiders on the lawn. Oooh, spooky!
