  6. Jefferson’s Political Philosophy: America should remain an agrarian society. As simple farmers we will share common experience, values and beliefs. Abundant land will prevent the urbanization of America. We do not need big cities like Europe has. Jefferson designed this moldboard “plow of least resistance”

  7. Allow the Alien and Sedition Acts to expire. Reduce the number of federal employees. Reduce the size of the military. (or not) Reduce the National debt through sales of public land. Jefferson Did

  8. Jefferson did not: Have much power to resist the Federalist judges. Complain when his Secretary of State (Madison) won his case vs. Marbury in the Supreme Court. Like John Marshall’s claim of the power of Judicial Review.

  9. Napoleon, Leader of France, had gained back Louisiana for France from Spain. He was fighting wars in Europe and a slave revolt in Haiti and needed money Jefferson wanted to buy New Orleans Napoleon offer the territory of Louisiana for $15 million The US accepted and doubled the size of the country Louisiana Purchase

  10. Lewis and Clark: Explored the Missouri River and the Columbia River. Clark provided accurate Maps Contacts helped the fur trade grow. Explorers of the West

  11. Zebulon Pike explored the Southwest and the upper Mississippi Pike’s view of plains as “Desert” limits interest among Americans for years. Explorers of the West

  12. Problems: Americans relied heavily on overseas trade. Pirates of the Barbary Coast were attacking American ships. Impressment by England and France was still a major problem. Solutions? U. S. Navy and Marines are sent to attack Tripoli. US defeats the pirates. Jefferson puts forward the Embargo Act of 1807. Us refuses to trade with nations at war. This hurts American interests and angers many Americans. Jefferson’s Foreign Policy

  13. Tecumseh, leader of Native Resistance. Tecumseh tries to unite all Natives against the USA. British offer help to Natives who resist. Impressment continues England is still stealing cargoes from American ships. War Hawks: (western leaders who demand war) push for a declaration of war vs. England and get it in 1812. Madison’s Challenges

  14. Phase 1: British blockade the US coast. Perry defeats the British on Lake Erie. “I have seen the enemy, and they are ours!” US invades Canada and burns public buildings in the capital York (Toronto) England is busy fighting Napoleon in Europe. War of 1812

  15. Britain and its allies have defeated Napoleon (Oh! Waterloo!) British arrive in force to attack and burn Washington D. C. Baltimore escapes this fate. Fort McHenry resists assault -> Star Spangled Banner penned by Francis Scott Key. Treat of Ghent ends the war Jackson wins a victory in the Battle of New Orleans After treaty is signed. War of 1812:The Second Act

  16. Americans are more united than ever. (Identify as Americans instead of as separate states.) Americans are more patriotic. More nationalism in the USA. Native Americans can offer less resistance. US factories replace British factories because trade is cut off. Long Term Results (Legacy) of the war.
