Mondays at Skidaway | Available

David Jones

The American Whig Party (1834-1856) produced four presidents, as well as luminaries such as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. David Jones’s lecture follows the party’s rise as Andrew Jackson’s opposition through its ultimate collapse over slavery and explores its lasting impact on antebellum America.
