Lynn and Isaac welcome Dr. Rosemarie Zagarri to explore ideas of empire through the lens of Thomas Law, the grandson-in-law of George Washington. Law lived and thrived in both British India and the newly created U.S. capital of Washington, DC. The episode also examines racial constructs of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and looks at the connections between the United States and Britain at the turn of the nineteenth century.
