On the national stage, humble politician James Garfield was a virtual unknown - thrust into a long-shot run for the ultimate office, the Presidency. He went on to win the White House in one of the closest elections up to that time. And unexperienced as he may have been, after just 6 months in office he was making a difference and citizens were beginning to take notice.  But as soon as things appeared to be full speed ahead, he was shot in the back. The untimely death of what might have been one of the greatest Presidents in our history.  James Garfield is on this episode of American POTUS!

It was Thomas Jefferson’s big bold real estate deal, the 15 Million Dollar Louisiana Purchase that was just too good to pass up.  It doubled the size of the country, eliminated the threat of a foreign power, connected the western lands, and gave us a stronger hold on the incredibly valuable Ohio territory. So why was this deal that was as important as the revolution and the constitution so controversial at the time? Thomas Jefferson’s real estate deal that transformed our nation and the world is on this episode of American POTUS!

Abraham Lincoln’s election of 1860 saw an amazing 80% voter turnout due in part to extreme passions for who would be leading our divided nation, they had never and would never be as high. As a result, Honest Abe’s whisker-close win proved to be the final spark in the explosion of Civil War. So the stage was now set for him to take over, but first he had to travel through the South to get to D.C., facing a series of unprecedented violent threats. The death-defying trip that resulted in one of the greatest Presidencies the nation has ever known, on this episode of American POTUS!

Jack Kennedy won the presidency as a fresh new face for a new generation.  A young, renegade leader who pushed the standards of how the White House conducted its business.  And to this, he was successful just as much as he was a failure. But when he was assassinated in Dallas, his very short 2 plus years in office suddenly became the Presidential standard that our politicians are still compared to, to this day. The debatable, complex, and scandalous legacy of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, on this episode of American POTUS!

The Soviets weren’t too thrilled when this actor turned President rolled into the White House.  His Build-Up-To-Build-Down strategy was about to make life very, very difficult for them. But if one thing was certain, he wouldn’t be able to star in this production alone.  So he put together a dynamic internal cast of characters and relied on supporting allies around the world. We're talking about the man who became both a director and an actor in this real-world drama and how he helped end the Cold War peacefully. Ronald Reagan is on this episode of American POTUS!

When the Soviet Union fell apart, and China began its economic liberalization, it looked like those two old Cold War foes were becoming, if not friends, at least not enemies.  But now we find ourselves in a new Cold War as both those nations aggressively confront America and our allies.  On this special episode of American POTUS being hosted at the Howard Baker Center for Public Policy, we will explore why this has occurred, and the role of presidents in confronting these challenges, with former United States Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, and presidential historian Dr. Jeffrey Engel from the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University.
