This is a little mentioned but pivotal moment in american history. Jefferson is right; such a contentious transfer of power could have easily resulted in revolt and authoritarianism. Instead it was a truly non violent revolution, as our elections were intended to be. the peaceful transfer of power from one set of interests to another based on the will of the people.
When your trying to get a helpful word from John Adams to end a vote in your favor Mr. Jefferson, I find it's best that you don't use the words "Federalist conspirators". Doesn't really help does it? ;)
Jefferson keeps the bank, as he sees it suitably necessary after all. This talk I see on several of the John Adams videos of which founding father was the greatest, and which ones were evil is silly and dumb. We can all have our favorites who suit our individual temperaments best, however to say Hamilton was the best and Jefferson the Worst and vice versa is ridiculous in this day and age. As history as shown the contributions of both to today's American society.
I wonder if the scene at 2:33 - 2:39 whiched showed John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, along with the portrait of George Washington may have some symbolism in it?
Also, the "Jay Treaty" scene in the Congress. One of my favorite lines from one of the representatives is "Did we not fight a bloody and costly Revolution to rid ourselves from British contagion?" If you understand the true and insidious history of the Jay Treaty, you'd get that the man was right. I love that scene! It's when John Adams was Vice-President.
Could you find scenes from "Reunion?" I like the scene where John and Thomas have been reunited and Abigail joins in dining with them. Then, the scene where Thomas and Abigail are enjoying a leisurely walk in the gardens. Thomas and Abigail in real life maintained a rich correspondence and this scene is evidence of their friendship. So, could you please get those scenes on You Tube? I already greatly appreciate the ones you have already posted. Thank you ever so much...
I greatly appreciate that you posted this. If I request any scenes from this series, I hope you can locate them and post them. There are so many scenes that have not shown on You Tube yet.
I've seen a ton of these in the last hour and a half. Awesome series. Could you post 2 scenes...The scene where Adams is arguing with Washington's cabinet members and then fires him (in the second to last episode I believe), and also the ending scene where Adams and Jefferson die.
This is one of my most favorite scenes. Jefferson bows before President John Adams because that was the protocol up until Jefferson's presidency. He did away with any form of ceremony and public monarchical habits. He began the practice of shaking hands between President and guest no matter their status. Here in this scene, Jefferson laments at the Federalist scheme preventing his ascension into the Presidency; hence the real life "Revolution of 1800." Jeffersonian Republicanism succeeds...
