A few years ago, I took my kids to Washington DC. In the Smithsonian Museum of American History there is a place to leave comments and suggestions about what people would like to learn more. Numerous suggestions were for more information about the War of 1812, so I would think there would certainly be a viable viewing audience for this era of American history. The era in between the wars was also fraught with discord concerning the very real problem of Revolutionary War veterans not receiving their pay and the depression along with riots that ensued, the Articles of Confederation, the formation of political parties, and the Constitutional Congress and the struggle for ratification.
I was always impressed by Turn that many of the characters were based on actual people and events, and I would love to see that tradition continue. I would love to see characters refer to Simcoe and his influence on Upper Canada (now known as Ontario). Among other things, the real John Graves Simcoe founded a city there. You may have heard of it: Toronto. So many possibilities!!!

There are lots of ways to continue from Washinton’s presidency, the war of 1812 which all the spies were still alive.

Turn : Washington Spies was a great needed series & hit! Sorry to see it end? I disagree that there’s no way forward to continue this kind of series? The period of establishing America following the Revolution was just as extraordinary as our fight for Independence? In our struggle to establish a new country there were endless challenges especially for Washington, connected with that story? If you view the George Washington miniseries (Barry Bostwick)” Forging of a Nation”from 1980’s for example, it depicts many high hurdles experienced in that process as the first new President? There were many endless intrigues & unexpected opposition in the Constitutional Convention, Patrick Henry opposing it, as well as how that great document was passed & conceived with Franklin’s help?
How about TURN:Washington Spies, The Forging of a Nation?
