The American Revolution, Episode 15: Passing the Torch
The Revolutionary generation in the United States of America could not lead the country indefinitely. Eventually they had to pass the torch to the next generation. This episode surveys the history of the early American Republic in the early 1800s. We will discuss the major events, trends, and controversies during the Jefferson, Madison, & Monroe Administrations as three men from the same party and from the same state hold the White House for 24 solid years. After that is the passing the torch moment as leadership is passed from the Revolutionary generation on to the likes of John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson. There are also a few bunny trails that examine Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, and even a bit deeper into American History.
