ARP338 Adams Goes to London Jan 05, 2025

Show notes

With the war ended, American attention shifts away from Europe while European attention shifts from America. US delegates attempt to establish a foreign policy with free trade, only to fund the major powers uninterested. Instead they struggle to keep American merchant ships from capture by Barbary pirates who enslave their crews.

ARP337 Mount Vernon Conference Dec 22, 2024

Show notes

George Washington began what he thought would be his retirement in 1784. Following a visit from the Marquis de Lafayette that year, Washington put aside retirement to return to his lifelong dream of establishing a trade route to the west that used the Potomac River, that flowed past Mount Vernon. He got Maryland and Virginia to pass laws allowing for this, but found the implementation of such a route much more difficult than he anticipated.

ARP336 Planning the Northwest Territory Dec 15, 2024

Show notes

The Continental Congress, eager to begin settling western lands, forces native tribes to sign the treaties of Fort Stanwix (1784), Fort McIntosh (1785) and Fort Finney (1786) to relinquish claims to large portions of land in what is today the state of Ohio. Congress passes the Land Ordinance of 1785 to define exactly how blocks of this land would be transferred to private parties, either through veterans' grants, or through sales.

ARP333 Revolution and Slavery Nov 10, 2024

Show notes

At the end of the Revolutionary war, people began to deal with the ideals of freedom and equality while maintaining slavery. Northern states mostly put slavery on a slow path to eventual abolition. Sothern States do not. In Massachusetts, several slaves sue under the argument that the Constitutions claims that all men are born free and equal means that they are born free and equal.
