March 06, 2026Ep. 10 – Good Feelings and the Panic of 1819
After the War of 1812, flags flew above rebuilt forts. Veterans were honored. And crowds cheered President James Monroe as he proclaimed a new age of unity.

February 27, 2026Ep. 9 – The War of 1812 and the Three Americas
The War of 1812 was a defining moment for America. Often counted a minor conflict, it was anything but. It revealed the United States was not one nation with a shared experience. There were three Americas. Each lived the war through a different lens, with a different idea of what the country should be. And the fissures exposed would echo all the way to the Civil War...

February 20, 2026Ep. 8 – The End of the First National Bank
Thomas Jefferson had won the presidency. His vision had triumphed. Federal power would shrink. State power would rise. His Louisiana Purchase doubled the nation’s size, but he set the stage for a decentralized republic. When the First Bank of the United States’ charter expired, Congress let it close. And in the silence that followed, cracks began to appear...

February 13, 2026Ep. 7 – The Louisiana Purchase and a Debtor Nation
There comes a moment when every young nation must prove its reliability. For the United States, that moment arrived in 1803. The Revolution was over, and the early republic was beginning to find its footing. Purchasing the Louisiana Territory would be the cost of securing a future. But it was the country’s first great financial leap – and the world was watching...

February 06, 2026Ep. 6 – Hamilton vs. Jefferson: The Battle for America’s Future
The year is 1790. The new United States is fragile. Loud. Full of hope, but also arguments. At the center stand Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Their rivalry is the first great divide in American politics. And beneath the newspaper attacks and cabinet shouting matches is one central question: How should America protect the ideals for which it fought?

January 30, 2026Ep. 5 – Paper Promises and the Price of Freedom
The Declaration of Independence has been signed. The War for Independence has begun. The American colonies have finally broken from the world's largest empire and severed themselves from its financial system.

January 23, 2026Ep. 4 – Paying the Bill for Services Not Rendered
Long before he became a Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin was a loyal citizen of both the American colonies and the British empire.
