In this episode of History You Didn't Know But Should, we take a dive into the Essex Junto, a radical wing of the Federalist Party that pushed for secession during the War of 1812. We explore the rise and fall of the Federalists, their opposition to Jeffersonian democracy, and how their resistance to war ultimately led to their political demise. What lessons can we learn from their story today? Tune in for a fascinating discussion—though bear with us through a few minor audio issues!
