It has been way too long since I dropped a podcast, thanks for sticking with me. In this episode, we continue our journey out west with Lewis and Clark. Do I get carried away with the royalty-free sound effects page I found? Only one way to find out!

This took a long time to get to market! You can hear it in my intro where I talk about the end of the year! I was going to edit it out, but what the heck, goes to show that I do take my time on this, if a little too much. Anyway, in this episode of the podcast, we delve into the journey of Lewis and Clark, and a couple of other journeys into Louisiana besides. It was a fun one to do and I’m glad it’s finished. Of course, Lewis and Clark are just getting started!

In this episode, we delve into the purchase of the Louisiana Territory by the United States. A little background on the territory and then how the deal comes together pretty quickly after some fast maneuvering by Jefferson and his administration.

In this month’s episode, we take a look at the pivotal Supreme Court case of Marbury v. Madison and an international conflict on the high seas, namely the Mediterranean. It’s the first Barbary War, 1801-1805. Also here is the link to donate to help victims of flooding near Derna as mentioned in the cast.

The election of 1800 was finally over and Jefferson finally took over. It didn’t take long for major changes to take place. We also delve a little into Jefferson as a person and what created his worldview.

Adams is off the stage and a new president will be sworn in, but who? It’s Jefferson v. Burr in the winter of 1801!

Well, here we are! 1800, woot!! To get started with the new century, we talk about the election of 1800, a repeat of 1796, at least on the surface. This election will change everything! No really, it does…

Almost made it in one month! This episode tackles what would become the defining issue of the Adams presidency: the Alien and Sedition Acts. Part national security fears, part political payback, all controversial. Come the election of 1800, it became a pivotal issue.

Hello! If the calendar is correct, it’s barely been a month since the last cast! Whoo-hoo! In this episode, we continue to look at the Adams administration and something called the Quasi-War. Taking a star turn is Alexander Hamilton.

Hello! Welcome to another episode of the History of the United States Podcast! Not gonna lie: not the cleanest podcast I’ve ever done, but a couple months away from the mic will do that. Anyway, this time around, we get into the Adams administration, especially something called the XYZ Affair. Thanks for listening! If you’d like to further support the podcast, support me on Patreon!
