SATT 026 - George W Campbell

Tenure of Office: February 9, 1814 - October 5, 1814

The successor of Albert Gallatin as Secretary of the Treasury was always going to have big shoes to fill, but coming in while the nation was at war and with a nearly empty treasury, George Campbell of Tennessee had quite a challenge ahead of him from day one. Join me and my special guest, Kenny Ryan of [Abridged] Presidential Histories, as we explore Campbell's life and career and determine if he was able to turn things around in order to earn a seat at the table of the Cabinet All-Stars.

Note: There is a brief mention of adult situations around the 1 hour 13 minute mark.
