4:44Now PlayingJohn Jay returned from Britain in 1794, carrying with him treaty that normalized relations between the United States and its former mother country. He was greeted to a hero’s welcome by the Federalists, but was held in contempt by Republicans. The country became bitterly divided, and Jay’s likeness was hung in effigy in every corner of the country. In this video, I explain why.
In my book, Compact of the Republic, I emphasized how the Jay Treaty contributed to the rise of the Jeffersonian Republicans, who fought for a more decentralized republic
