About This Novel

America was very vulnerable in 1790. Over the next decade, the Founding Fathers-revisited in this book-were their ideas in the Declaration of Independence and the provisions of the Constitution to create the actual workings of American government. By dissecting six fascinating stories-the duel between Hamilton and Burr, Washington's Farewell Address, the Adams administration and the Adamses' political partnership, the debate over where to build the capital, Franklin's attempts to get Congress to deal with the slave issue, and the correspondence between Jefferson and the Adamses-"The Founders" brings to life the central issues and figures of the most important decade in American history.
