Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 20 April 1791 to August 1791

Grappling with the threat of war with Spain, Jefferson involves himself equivocally in a diplomatically explosive plan by Genet to liberate Louisiana from Spanish rule. In this volume Jefferson also plays a decisive role in resolving a dispute over the design of the Capitol and plans agricultural improvements at Monticello in preparation for his retirement to private life.

Riassunto

Documents Edmond Charles Genet's dramatic challenges to American neutrality and Jefferson's diplomatic and political responses.
