Episode 2: Elbridge Gerry

You've heard of the term gerrymandering—but did you know it's named after one of our Founding Fathers? Elbridge Gerry was a politician who first served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and would later become the 5th Vice President of the United States.

This is the second episode in the series "Forgotten Founders," presented by The American History and Tradition Project.
