About This Item
New York: William Morrow & Co., 2000. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near fine copy abet a remainder mrk on the bottom edge. 345pp including notes, bibliography and index. America Afire is the powerful story of the election of 1800, arguably the most important election in America's history and certainly one of the most hotly disputed. American self-government was still an endangered experiment seventeen years after the War of Independence had been won. As 1800 dawned, the sacrifices and fraternity of "the spirit of '76" had vanished, replaced by bitter and angry rivalries. Former allies Adams and Jefferson, president and vice president, now Federalist versus Republican, squared off in a vicious contest to win the fourth presidential election under the Constitution..
