From bestselling historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist H.W. Brands, a revelatory history of the shocking emergence of vicious political division at the birth of the United States.To the framers of the Constitution, political parties were a fatal threat to republican virtues. They had suffered the consequences of partisan politics in Britain before the American Revolution, and they wanted nothing similar for America. Yet parties emerged even before the Constitution was ratified, and they took firmer root in the following decade. In Founding Partisans, master historian H. W. Brands has crafted a fresh and lively narrative of the early years of the republic as the Founding Fathers fought one another with competing visions of what our nation would be.The first party, the Federalists, formed around Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and their efforts to overthrow the Articles of Confederation and make the federal government more robust. Their opponents organized as the Antifederalists, who feared the corruption and encroachments on liberty that a strong central government would surely bring. The Antifederalists lost but regrouped under the new Constitution as the Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson, whose bruising contest against Federalist John Adams marked the climax of this turbulent chapter of American political history. The country’s first years unfolded in a contentious spiral of ugly elections and blatant violations of the Constitution. Still, peaceful transfers of power continued, and the nascent country made its way towards global dominance, against all odds. Founding Partisans is a powerful reminder that fierce partisanship is a problem as old as the republic.

Compare these wise men to Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton. Then cry for this world.

A hundred years from now, there’s going to be some Clarence Thomas wannabe on the U.S. Supreme Court who actually poses this rhetorical question in some landmark decision “What was in [TFG]’s mind when he decided *this*?” and then answer as if anybody with a working brain could ever decipher the gibberish circling the toilet of Trump’s mind. It will, of course, be whatever they want it to be, just like Alito and Thomas do with the Founding Fathers today even if, by the same rationale they pass their decisions, neither would even have a say if we lived in [the Founding Father’s] world. That is the reality of history, which in the Present, means little to us in our daily lives.

@abb9632: you mean those slaveowners, racists and woman-hating genocidal maniacs who wrote “all men are created equal”?? Yeah, I completely understand how certain people would consider them “wise”, LOL….
