The ‘Geographic Imagination’ Of America’s Founders

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Michael Barone, a senior political analyst for the Washington Examiner and a senior fellow emeritus at the American Enterprise Institute, joins Federalist Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to discuss how the Founding Fathers used "geographic imagination" to determine the future boundaries of the constitutional republic and explain the differences between several of their visions.

You can find Barone's book "Mental Maps of the Founders: How Geographic Imagination Guided America's Revolutionary Leaders" here.
