Fellow Citizens, in today's episode, we cover an overview and the first portion of John C. Calhoun's speech given to the House of Representatives in April of 1816. In this speech, Mr. Calhoun pitches support for a protective tariff for American manufactures while also extolling the virtues of a system of internal improvements to further cement the discordant members of the Union. Thanks again for your time and for tuning in!

Greeting Fellow Citizens,

In today's episode, we take a high level look at the War of 1812 and uncover the roots of the American mercantilist system. We also discuss some of the longterm fallout from the war, including the first time American political leaders used a domestic war to accomplish nefarious goals.

Howdy everyone, and thanks again for tuning in to The Jeffersonian Tradition. By popular demand (and thankfully some time due to my work schedule), I am back! Today, I tell y'all what I've been up to and what to expect regarding future show episodes. As always, if you want me to cover a topic or elaborate further on anything we discuss, please feel free to reach out to me at the show's email address, which is mrjeffersonian@outlook.com.
