Ahoy! We trace this #history in the next #AdamsPapers volume. Fascinating to see how U.S. commerce struggled to adapt without the protection of the British Navy. And the letters between John Adams & Benjamin Stoddert are 💎 🗃️

Because a huge doc editing nerd, I spent a few of yesterday's btwn meetings moments dreaming of a #HATM @HerbertHistory @editorialnotes mashup series. Douglass Papers @WashPapers #adamspapers TJeff papers @CCP_org Dolly Mad papers & more... a festival of commentary w citations.
We've been rewatching the John Adams miniseries and I can't decide which is weirder, Moriarty as William Smith, or Churchill's portraitist as Jefferson.
