Renowned presidential historian and Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon, Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky, joins us for a conversation on John Adams’ five year-battle to defend the presidency. 1797 wasn’t too different from 2024, with pandemics, battles over immigration and citizenship, legislation to limit free speech, foreign interference in national elections, and contested election results. Dr. Chervinsky’s new book Making the Presidency is the authoritative account of the second president that shows how John Adams’ leadership and legacy defined the office and ensured the survival of the American republic. The ideas and legacy of John Adams’ presidency are ever resonant amid this pivotal election year.
