Скачать или смотреть Gordon S. Wood - Part 2, The Drexel InterView (Season 15)

This is the second part of a two-part interview with eminent Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Gordon S. Wood, focusing on the complex relationship between two United States forefathers detailed in "Friends Divided: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson." Wood’s biographical account brings to light the friendship and intellectual connection of these prominent public figures, as well as their stark differences of opinion in the face of the American Revolution. Host Paula Marantz Cohen and Wood continue their discussion on the differing personal, intellectual, and political positions of Adams and Jefferson; the compromise of American ideals, relative to the institution of slavery and the Revolution’s impact on indigenous populations; and the eventual alienation between Adams and Jefferson.
