Background on The Great Divide:
Thomas Fleming’s The Great Divide observes America’s earliest era through a lens that looks beyond her bloody struggle with Great Britain to investigate the internal animosity between two highly respected Founding Fathers. Jefferson strongly disagreed with Washington’s negative opinion of the French Revolution, which Jefferson wholeheartedly supported regardless of moral concerns over its violence. But their most contentious debates were about the most powerful office in the country: the presidency. The results of this dispute have left fingerprints on the face of American politics today.
The Great Divide explains why and how the two greatest founders disagreed so intensely about so many issues, and ended their lives enemies rather than friends. At least as intriguing is the way James Madison began as Washington’s advisor, then became, thanks to Jefferson, the President’s toughest critic—and at the end of his life returned to Washington’s side.
