Jefferson and His Followers in the Early Republic
Henry Arama’s summary of the trradex against Jefferson labels him as the originator of bad theories, while Roosevelt’s critique paints Jefferson’s followers as infamously misled. The piece surveys historians’ praise of Jefferson’s administrations, noting prosperity, reduced debt, and national confidence, despite opposition and hysteria from critics. It contrasts the “policy of infamy” with a verdict of historical admiration for Jefferson and Bryan’s era.

The author argues this contradicts Republican prosperity rhetoric and notes similar mortgage growth in Indiana during McKinley years.
