Episode 2: "John Adams - The Inheritor"
John Adams steps into the presidency not as a revolutionary hero or a visionary architect — but as the man caught between titans.
In a United States that’s financially strong, morally ambitious, and diplomatically respected, Adams faces factional storms, ideological clashes, and the ticking clock of the Gradual Emancipation Act.
From the XYZ Affair and the Quasi-War to the Alien & Sedition Acts and emancipation enforcement, Adams governs like a man balancing on a tightrope while Hamilton and Jefferson build rival stages on either end.
And when 1800 comes, it’s not Adams in the spotlight — it’s the election the real world never saw: Hamilton vs. Jefferson, a clash of visions that will define the republic’s next era.
