Episode 5: The Early American Republic

  • Summary

  • After ratifying the U.S. Constitution, the young United States faced the enormous challenge of turning words on paper into a functioning government.

    In this episode of The U.S. History Curriculum Companion, we explore the critical early years of the American Republic, from George Washington’s presidency through the War of 1812 and period known as the Era of Good Feelings. We’ll examine the formation of political parties, the challenges of governing a new nation, the Louisiana Purchase, and the foreign and domestic policies that shaped America's early identity. Discover how leaders like Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison set precedents that continue to influence the nation today.

    This episode is designed to accompany our Early American Republic unit in American History, which includes resources and lessons designed for middle school and high school classrooms.
