The Good Fight: The Feuds of the Founding Fathers (and How They Shaped the Nation)

Icon: 
Book icon
Copies: 6

The founding fathers argued about when to fight the English. They argued about how to fight the English. They tussled over taxes. They disagreed about foreign affairs. They fought each other in private. They fought each other in public. They used essays. They used whispers. One of them even used a pistol.

Some of the fights were settled in their own time. Some of them are still being fought in ours.
