More copies of this ISBN:America Afire: Jefferson, Adams, and the Revolutionary Election of 1800by Bernard Weisberger
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Tells the story of the election of 1800, when former allies Adams and
Jefferson, president and vice president, now Federalist versus
Republican, squared off in a vicious contest to win the fourth
presidential election under the Constitution. The election took place
in a young republic that lacked a cohesive national identity, where
political parties were unforeseen and unwelcome creations. When Adams
stepped down from the presidency peacefully in 1801, it was the first
time in modern history that a leader had voluntarily turned over
power to a political enemy. Weisberger has written more than a dozen
books.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:"America Afire" is the extraordinary account of how American politics was born--a riveting history full of colorful, real-life characters, remarkable events, riots, duplicities, and brazen manipulations that almost resulted in the scrapping of the Constitution.
