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. More information can be found on the website at https://www.presidenciespodcast.com.
Special thanks to Tyson Reeder for his time and the insight that he provided for this episode! Please be sure to check out his book, Serpent in Eden: Foreign Meddling and Partisan Politics in James Madison's America.
