This pretty striped dress has been worn by extras twice.   It was first spotted in 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆 in 2006 and was then recycled two years later in the 2008 miniseries 𝑱𝒐𝒉𝒏 𝑨𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒔.   I suspect this costume originated with an earlier production, but I do not yet know where. Have you seen this costume before 2006? If so, let us know! Bit.ly/StuGeo017

John Adams wrote to John Trumbull in February 1776 while the war was building momentum. In the letter he reflects on the political climate, international reactions, and the rising tensions between the colonies and Britain.

Elecciones presidenciales de Estados Unidos de 1800

La elección presidencial de Estados Unidos de 1800, a la que los jeffersonianos se refieren como la Revolución de 1800, fue un punto de inflexión en la historia política temprana de los Estados Unidos. Dio como resultado la victoria del vicepresidente Thomas Jefferson del Partido Demócrata-Republicano sobre su rival, el presidente en funciones John Adams del Partido Federalista.

This quote reflects John Adams belief that freedom is fragile and once lost, it cannot easily be regained. It highlights his intense commitment to the cause of liberty during the early years of the Revolution.

The US presidential election of 1796 was the first contested presidential election in the history of the United States. John Adams, the candidate of the Federalist Party, won the presidency, defeating his rival, Thomas Jefferson, candidate of the Democratic-Republican Party. Since Jefferson won the second most votes, he became Vice President, as was the protocol at the time. In the previous two national elections – the US presidential election of 1789 and 1792 – George Washington had been unanimously voted into office, and the presidency had never seriously been contested. Now, with Washington declining to serve a third term, each political party scrambled to secure support for its candidate. Adams, as the incumbent vice president, was widely viewed as Washington's natural successor, but his association with the haughty, nationalist Federalists led to accusations that he was a pro-British monarchist. Jefferson, likewise, was attacked for his party's support of the bloody French Revolution, and his hypocritical opinions on slavery were brought into question. The use of partisan newspapers to attack the candidates became prevalent in this election, reflecting the increase of factionalism in US politics. At the time, presidential elections were conducted very differently than they are today. Candidates did not run on a shared ticket; instead, each member of the Electoral College cast two votes for whichever candidates they pleased. The candidate who got the most votes was elected president, while the candidate with the second most votes became vice president, regardless of political party. It was for this reason that Adams ended up winning the presidency with Jefferson as his vice president, even though they had been rivals in the election. The partisanship that fueled this election would only worsen four years later, when Adams and Jefferson rematched in the US presidential election of 1800.

Alien and Sedition Acts

Les Alien and Sedition Acts (lois sur les étrangers et la sédition) étaient quatre lois adoptées par le président John Adams et le Congrès contrôlé par les fédéralistes en 1798, qui restreignaient l'immigration et la liberté d'expression aux États-Unis. Présentées par le parti fédéraliste comme une mesure nécessaire pour protéger la sécurité nationale pendant la quasi-guerre (1798-1800), ces lois suscitèrent une vive controverse et furent contestées pour leur inconstitutionnalité.
