The Tocqueville tour through the United States was launched with a live program from the Old Colony House. Tocqueville and Beaumont arrived in Newport after a sea voyage of 38 days which began in Havre, France. Historians, the two Rhode Island senators and others talked about Tocqueville and Beaumont’s impressions upon their arrival in the United States and compared these ideas to current political conditions in the United States. They also took questions and comments from viewers. The entire tour would make at least 55 stops over the next nine months. close
