SEASON 2 - Bad Presidents

In our second season, we highlighted the damage that Presidents of the United States have inflicted on the American people and the world during their terms of office. George Washington all the way to Donald Trump 2.0.

We went with a slightly more opinion-based approach in this season, so the research is not as rigorous as in Season 1. Rather than deep historical analyses, we relied on more general, factual overviews, including several volumes of the Oxford History of the United States series, on which we could weigh in with our take.

Here's the bibliography for Season 2.
