Sommario/riassunto

In this crisp, compelling narrative , John Ferling traces the 1800 election, from its roots in the politics of the 1790's to its epochal conclusion. He brings together both the outsize personalities and the hotly contested political issues of the time, to show why that moment was a milestone in U.S. history.
