VIDEO DESCRIPTION
After the failures in the United States under the Articles of Confederation and the months of debate over the creation of the new Constitution, it was unclear if the new nation would even survive. In other words, the new Constitution was tested. The 1790s under George Washington and John Adams would be divisive. Two political parties would be formed -- the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans -- and they would disagree about the size of the Federal Government, whether to have a National Bank, whether to support Britain or France, and more. All while this is happening, the French Revolution was devastating France. By the end of the century, it was feared the transfer of power from John Adams and Thomas Jefferson would end in war, but it didn't. The young nation would survive.

This video will go over the difficulties the United States would have during the 1790s.
