Early+Presidencies+-+John+Adams

toc America's first three presidents, Washington, Adams, and Jefferson all had to find ways to organize the government to solve the foreign and domestic problems that challenged the nation throughout the 1790s and early 1800s. Washington would have to balance America's alliance on a thin line when France and Great Britain returned to war, John Adam's would have to deal with rising competition amongst political parties within the American government system, and Jefferson would have to deal an expanding nation that was once again about to double in size.
