The government owed a. $40 million to American citizens b. $11.7 million to France, Spain & the Netherlands Hamilton wanted these debts to be paid at full face value in order to preserve the honesty of the new government so people/countries would continue to loan it money.

  8. Chapter 6, Sec 1 3. Madison felt the plan was unfair to original purchasers of bonds because speculators had bought up many bonds at very low prices and they would be the ones to benefit not the people who had loaned the money. 4. Madison was also upset that the Southern taxes would pay the money to the bond holders who were mostly in the North. 5. A DEAL – Madison, Hamilton, & Washington would work to convince southerners to vote for the plan and in return the capitol would be moved to a southern state – VA. It would be The District of Columbia.

  9. Chapter 6, Sec 1 F. THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES Hamilton said the government needed a bank to manage its debts and interest payments and issue paper money that would promote trade, encourageinvestment, & stimulate economic growth.

The Quasi-War with France • THEXYZAFFAIR – Adams sent Charles Pinckney, Elbridge Gerry & John Marshall to France to negotiate about the problem with the French stopping American ships and seizing goods. • The French tried to bribe the Americans which was an insult. • This became an undeclared war between America and France. • The Convention of 1800 ended the Americans obligation to help France (Treaty of 1778) and ended the Quasi-War.

  30. Chapter 6, Sec 3 A. Impeaching Judges 1.Jefferson repealed the Judiciary Act of 1801 which abolished the new judges positions. 2. The Republicans then tried to remove other Federalist judges by impeaching them. To impeach someone, they must be found guilty of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” 3.

Impressment – British claimed the right to stop American ships and search for deserters, and they also took American citizens at times. British warship LEOPARD stopped the American warship, Chesapeake to search it. The Captain of the Chesapeake refused, the Leopard fired & killed 3 Americans.

  38. Chapter 6, Sec 3 C. Economic Diplomacy Falls 1. After the Chesapeake affair, Jefferson asked Congress to pass the Embargo Act of 1807 which halted trade between the U.S. and Europe & avoided war. 2.
