Jefferson's First Inaugural

March 4, 1801

Walking to the unfinished Capitol in plain clothes, Thomas Jefferson tried to heal a venomous election with a single sentence: "We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists." Behind the grace lay a quiet revolution - the republic had survived a partisan handover, and a Virginia planter now governed a Federalist city.
