The First Crisis: When American Democracy Almost Died (1797-1801)

George Washington is gone, and the sharks are out.

In Part 6 of our History of the United States, we dive into the dark years of the John Adams presidency. From the naval battles of the Quasi-War to the unconstitutional Alien and Sedition Acts, this was the moment the American experiment almost collapsed.

We cover the dirtiest election in history and the miracle of the first peaceful transfer of power.
