Book 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.
