Description

As “The Words That Made Us” approaches its May release, we continue to explore new perspectives on the early Presidents.  Akhil’s disillusionment with Jefferson is explained, and the rise of the third President’s cousin and near-usurper makes for some surprising moments.  We return to the visual for examples of particularly blatant painting propaganda, and a future guest makes a cameo.
