Can we work things out with the French?. I guess they want to be difficult. How will President Adams “protect” America from those evil foreigners?. Are these laws for real? Where’s Judicial Review?. How will the TJ and the DR’s respond to the Alien and Sedition Acts?.

How will President Adams “protect” America from those evil foreigners?
How will the TJ and the DR’s respond to the Alien and Sedition Acts?
Could these cause problems in the future? I would place a high bet on that.
The DR’s win but there’s only one problem. Can you figure it out?
The Federalist Congress (DR rivals and authors of those terrible Alien &Sedition Acts) have a decision to make. One of these DR’s will be the next President chosen by the Federalist.
The new President of the United States in 1800 (ironically with help from Hami) is TJ! “Dude you won fair and square. Good luck with the power.” “Thanks bro, don’t pull anything sneaky with your remaining time.”
How will President Adams use his reaming time in office? “What can I do for my party with my remaining time in office?” (Lame Duck yo)
How will President Jefferson respond to this? Adams and Feds lose election of 1800 They become midnight judges at the last minute. Adams becomes 1st Lame Duck President Adams appoints 42 Feds to judicial positions. Feds pass Judiciary Act of 1801 to create new judicial positions. John Marshall is appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
How will Marbury vs. Madison change American government and the Judicial Branch?
How valuable is the Mississippi and New Orleans to the United States? “Life is hard as a President.” #dafedssuck
The U.S. really needs control of New Orleans and we don’t want a neighbor like France! I will send James Monroe and Robert Livingston to France to try and buy it!
What resulted from that long expedition? No water route dude, but the land is way cool. How about a bonus bro?
How will President Jefferson handle the bullies in the Mediterranean?
The United States can now trade on the seas without fear of those evil Pirates.
England and France went to war (again) in 1803. • U.S. remained neutral. • 1806 – France prohibited all neutral trade with Great Britain. • 1807 – Britain banned between France, her allies and the Americas. U.S. Trade
British & French navies began capturing U.S. ships and searching them for war supplies. • The British even began practicing the policy of impressment on U.S. sailors.
1807: Congress passes the Embargo Act – banned trade with ALL foreign countries. • No U.S. ships can sail to foreign ports. • No foreign ships can land in American ports.
The embargo hurt American merchants in a HUGE way. • Lost $$$ and jobs • Especially hurt northern states • A black market was created where European goods were smuggled into the U.S. through Canada.
Results of the Embargo Act • Embargo had little effect on England & France. They just traded elsewhere. • Americans did begin to produce more of their own goods. • Jefferson’s popularity was damaged. • This strengthened Federalist Party. Lost popularity Increase in popularity
