Nearly 80 years after Harry Truman dropped the atomic bomb, there are still countless questions surrounding this accidental president and his debatable decision to end the war with Japan in this explosive way. What were the political circumstances at the time, the estimates of casualties, the legacy it would leave with the rest of the world? And critically, after all was said and done, would dropping the bomb ironically end up saving lives, for both sides? Vice President turned President, Harry Truman and his decision to drop the atomic bomb. It’s on this episode of American POTUS!

It was the 1780’s and this future POTUS was suffering through middle age, his wife had passed away after a long illness and he had sworn off politics after a rough stint as Virginia’s governor. He was in desperate need of a big change! So off he went to spend the next 5 years as America’s representative to France. How to make wine, grow rice, design landscapes and buildings were all at the top of his list. But it was his firsthand experience with the French monarchy that may have been the biggest takeaway of all! Our 3rd POTUS, Thomas Jefferson is on this episode of American POTUS!

It was a time when political conventions were far different than today. There might have been a favorite leading candidate going in, but the deal was not done until the back-room deals were made and the votes were cast. Enter unknown, long shot candidate Abraham Lincoln. An absolute dark horse whose strategy was to lay low, not offend anyone and wait to be seen as the guy who could best represent the new Republican party. The crazy story of how our 16th POTUS came very close to never being on the presidential ballot in the first place! It’s on this episode of American POTUS!

On the national stage, humble politician James Garfield was a virtual unknown - thrust into a long-shot run for the ultimate office, the Presidency. He went on to win the White House in one of the closest elections up to that time. And unexperienced as he may have been, after just 6 months in office he was making a difference and citizens were beginning to take notice. But as soon as things appeared to be full speed ahead, he was shot in the back. The untimely death of what might have been one of the greatest Presidents in our history. James Garfield is on this episode of American POTUS!
