According to the New York Times, the 2016 election “highlighted a
growing rural-urban split.” So, on this episode of BackStory,
Brian, Ed and Nathan look at what happens when urban and rural
Americans collide.
They’ll tell the story of one coastal couple’s proposal to make
part of the Great Plains a vast nature preserve and how it wasn’t
received too kindly by the residents of those states. They’ll look
at how attitudes towards small town voters shaped American politics
in the 1920s. Finally, they’ll explore the urban/rural divide
during the Founding Era, when city slicker Alexander Hamilton
challenged Thomas Jefferson’s vision of a country composed of
humble yeoman farmers.
