Presidencies of the United States
This podcast is devoted to exploring presidential history from the founding of the office in 1789 on through the present day. I plan to take a systematic approach to both the people and the events that have shaped and reshaped each administration and the office in general.
Tenure of Office: October 6, 1814 – October 21, 1816
When Alexander J Dallas assumed office as Secretary of the Treasury, the federal government was nearly bankrupt. With my special guests, Cody and Stephen of the Imperfect Men podcast, we explore Dallas’s tenure at Treasury and his efforts to improve the nation’s finances and economy in the aftermath of the War of 1812 then determine whether Dallas is worthy of a seat at the table of Cabinet All-Stars.
