Professor Edward Larson, "1800: Republicans, Federalists, and Party Transition" -- National Association of Scholars

Professor Edward J. Larson will present "1800: Republicans, Federalists, and Party Transition" at a National Association of Scholars webinar on May 27.  Professor Larson will be joined by historians Joseph Ellis and Peter Onuf.

Via the National Association of Scholars:

After years of the Federalists maintaining power, the election of 1800 represented a stark shift. Vice President Thomas Jefferson defeated incumbent John Adams and the United States underwent the first transition of power from one faction to another since its founding. Did the election of 1800 represent a "Second Revolution?" What were some of the tensions surrounding party transition at the time? What was the Federalist reaction to the loss?
