"The presidential election of 1800 is one of those events that is placed on a pedestal. It is considered as the first time in modern history that two parties exchanged power peacefully. This is an excellent retelling of that event.
I really enjoyed that the focus was kept narrow. While, everything impacts and has a reaction, it is sometimes helpful to have the story distilled down to the basics of what happened. Why did this happen in this, rather than this and this were going on and it made this happen which led to this impact on Adams campaign."
"Though a slow read because of the wealth of detail, it is very worthwhile. He does an excellent job of bringing together the political, historical, and cultural events that shaped the campaign and events leading up to the election. If you have devoted much time to recent campaigns, you will be aware of all the parallels among them. Some things change and some do not. The 1800 campaign may have been the most crucial in our history and what we learned in school about it was only a sip of what we should be drinking fully. The U.S.A. could have come off its wheels early and we would have become something quite different. Larsen does an incredible job of research and the way he lays it out kept me thinking about the critical issues for days after I read a particular chapter. For example: 1. The relationships between Adams and Jefferson, and Hamilton and Jefferson, and Adams and Hamilton. 2. Why Abigail Adams thought Aaron Burr might be a better president than Jefferson. 3. The one act that doomed the Federalist Party. 4. Why James Madison (as Governor of Virginia) almost had his state militia march on DC while the votes were being counted. 5. The critical election in Pennsylvania 17 months previously."
