American Conquest and the Fall of the Jacksonians
In this episode of Liberty vs. Power, Dr. Patrick Newman and Tho Bishop look at the connection between the imperialism of the Jacksonians and the corruption of America as an "empire of liberty." As manifest destiny — and the annexation of Texas — brings the United States to the Pacific Ocean, and the issue of slavery heightens sectional differences in Washington, the party of Jackson and Van Buren comes to embrace many of the same policies that it was created to tame.

How the Jacksonians Killed the Bank
General Andrew Jackson, fresh off the election of 1828, assumes the office of the presidency, armed with a battle plan to bring down the institutions he blames for the corruption of the republic: America's National Bank. In this episode of Liberty vs. Power, Dr. Patrick Newman and Tho Bishop look at the Jacksonians' embrace of executive power and their battle against Nicholas Biddle of the Second Bank of the United States.

The Corrupt Bargain and the Jacksonian Revolution
The election of 1824 pits the Old Republicans against the entrenched interests of one-party rule in America. In this episode of Liberty vs. Power, Dr. Patrick Newman and Tho Bishop discuss the collapse of the first party system of the United States, the corrupt bargain that haunts the political career of John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay, and the rise of a new political movement inspired by Jeffersonian ideals: the Jacksonians.

Your History Teacher Lied about the "Era of Good Feelings"
Virginia's stranglehold over American politics continues with President James Monroe. While high school textbooks refer to this period of one-party rule as the "Era of Good Feelings," the reality is the Second Bank of the United States offers some of the most vulgar examples of corruption the American people have seen. In this episode, Patrick Newman and Tho Bishop discuss the Panic of 1819 and the impact it had on political alliances for decades to come.

James Madison's Failed Conquest of Canada
The transformation of Jeffersonians into National Republicans continues under President James Madison. Following the Louisiana Purchase, the new administration sets its eyes on Florida and Canada for new American expansion. The result is the disastrous War of 1812 and the rise of a new central bank.

The Louisiana Purchase and the Corruption of the Jeffersonians
The Revolution of 1800 removed the Hamiltonians from power, and in Jefferson's first term, America witnessed a major reduction of federal power. In his second term, however, an offer by French Emperor Napoleon to purchase the Louisiana territory would mark the fall of the Old Republicans. In this episode, Patrick and Tho look at how dreams of conquest in Canada, Spanish Florida, Mexico, and beyond have had tragic consequences for Americans' liberty.

The Jeffersonian Revolution
In this episode of Liberty vs. Power, Patrick and Tho look at the success of the Jeffersonians following the corruption of Hamilton's Federalist Party. With the support of Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin, the Jeffersonian Administration is able to slash the size of the federal bureaucracy. Unfortunately, the influence of Republican moderates — like James Madison — undermined a true restoration of old republican ideals.
