This week tune in as I dive into one of the most complicated presidencies in American history - John Adams.
A man who fought hard for the independence of his country and who always had his eye on history, Adams proved to be a mild and flawed chief executive. Those who know Adams know him for either the XYZ Affair or the Alien and Sedition Acts - but there is a bit more to be discovered.

Political parties - we either love them or hate them. But where exactly did they come from?
All of the founding fathers tended agree on one thing: factions were not a good thing for the country. But as I explore in this episode, the very men who were adamantly opposed to the formation of parties - Alexander Hamilton & James Madison - were two of the most active and influential individuals in the development of the first political parties.
This episode explores why these parties emerged and why only two major parties get all the attention.
