The bitter rivalry that nearly fractured the early American Republic
In short: Watch how the first major political crisis of the United States nearly tore the nation apart. This video explores the intense partisan warfare between the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans during the late 1790s.
The video examines the period following George Washington's departure from office, a time defined by the very perils he warned against: party factionalism and foreign entanglements.
It highlights the bitter rivalry between John Adams's Federalists and Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republicans, whose competing ideologies turned every policy decision into a hostile 'mud-slinging brawl' that threatened the stability of the young nation.
