This book focuses on what the first six presidents said and did regarding faith, slavery, and leadership. Was George Washington just a slave-owning Deist, or was he more than that? What were the great ironies of John Adams' life? Did Thomas Jefferson deserve his reputation as a statesman, or was he less than that? Why did James Madison not free his slaves in his will? Who was James Monroe, and what did he think about...anything? Why was John Quincy Adams such a skilled diplomat, and yet so amazingly irritating?
