Jefferson, Adams, And The Revolutionary Election Of 1800
The election of 1800 was arguably the most important in America's history. For the first time, two candidates with fundamentally different views of the country's needs opposed one another: Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, revolutionary heroes and old friends who became bitter enemies over the course of one of the dirtiest and most slanderous electoral wars ever waged.
This is the extraordinary account of how American politics was born; a riveting history full of colourful real-life characters, remarkable events, riots, duplicities, and brazen manipulations that almost resulted in the scrapping of the Constitution.
