Summary
The Founding Fathers have been hailed as shining examples of men who put aside their own agendas to found a nation. But behind the scenes, there were more petty fights than signatures on the Declaration of Independence. From the violent brawl between Roger Griswold and Matthew Lyon in the halls of Congress, to George Washington's battle against his slave Harry Washington, these less-discussed clashes bring to light the unpredictable and volatile nature of a constantly changing nation. Additionally, this gripping narrative delves deeper into the famous feuds, such as the fatal duel of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, and the many rivalries of Thomas Jefferson. This book reveals the true natures of the Founding Fathers and how their infighting shaped our nation, sometimes even for the better. 2016
