Virtual Lecture: The Election of 1800

Expand

On any short list of pivotal moments in American history, the election of 1800 will always have a central place. It is the first modern political campaign in our history. Adding to its appeal, this election involved larger than life figures – Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, and Aaron Burr. Dr. Peter Henriques will talk about this important election and the surprising parallels between with the nation’s current election. Dr. Peter R. Henriques is Professor of History, Emeritus, from George Mason University and author of "Realistic Visionary: A Portrait of George Washington." His new book, "First and Always: A New Portrait of George Washington" will be released in September.

Tickets are $6.

Guests will receive an email with the Zoom meeting link, Meeting ID, and password by noon on October 8. Ticket sales will close at 4 p.m.
