Introduction that my wife and i are coming out with a book called founders advice. I know this has been done before. Secretary bennett did a number of years ago. The way he did it was considerably different than what were trying to do. I have a background was a historian but im married to a woman who was in business. She was in washington d. C. Working for a defense contractor and had the opportunity to go to seattle to work for a small start up company that had not yet gone public, microsoft.

Differences, what we read for today is its clearly not the case. What we see is in the 1790s, many of the divisions, many of the concerns that people who viewed the constitution in these folks came to see this still as a problem in the 1790s.

And what wore talking about here when looking at these duels. They were deliberately provoked and strategically timed. In other words Many American political duels were kind of like counter elections. Someone dishonored by an election, by losing an election tried to redeem his reputation by an aristocratic co ....
