We discuss the myths and controversies as well as the man's character, and why he may have been fundamental to helping America define itself.Twitter: @zwhitehistory | @EdwardZimm1778Register to vote in the UK: https://www.gov.uk/register-to-voteRegister to vote in the US: https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote Hosted on Acast.
