The Collaborators

Jefferson and Madison were political and policy allies throughout

discuss the “co-presidency” that they formed during Jefferson’s
administration and how, as plantation owners, their views on
slavery were similar. This course is meant to accompany the
Monticello and Montpelier Overnight Trip (page 6). The course
and trip may be taken together or separately but please note
that separate registration is required.
