    Jul 7 2024
    Year(s) Discussed: 1812-1815 As the second year of the war against Britain wrapped up, the Madison administration found that little progress had been made.

    Interview with Tyson Reeder, Serpent in Eden
    Jun 30 2024
    Year(s) Discussed: 1781-1815 The early republic was a tumultuous time for the United States both domestically and in the realm of diplomacy, and one man who rather consistently found himself at the center of its all in the nation's first few decades was James Madison. In my discussion with Tyson Reeder about his new book, Serpent in Eden: Foreign Meddling and Partisan Politics in James Madison's America, we discuss Madison's role in the public sphere and government policy in the late 18th and early 19th century as well as how various foreign powers worked to manipulate Madison and his American contemporaries for their own ends.

    Tenure of Office: March 4, 1805 - April 20, 1812 No, he's not *that* George Clinton of Parliament-Funkadelic fame, but there are still so many interesting points to discuss about the life and career of Revolutionary War general and first governor of New York George Clinton.
