LIBERTY'S FIRST CRISIS: Adams, Jefferson, and the Misfits Who Saved Free Speech
Revealing how the First Amendment nearly brought down the Republic, Slack tells the story of the 1798 Sedition Act, an extreme piece of legislation that made criticism of the government a crime. It was a crucial moment in U.S. history when high ideals met real-world politics, and the country's future hung in the balance.
