SECTION 2 Expansion and Improvements The Missouri Compromise Who:Henry Clay, Pro-Slavery people, Anti-Slavery people Did What:HC – Great peacemaker, came up with the idea for the Missouri Compromise. This stopped a major regional conflict (various regions of the country – N vs. S). Had 3 parts: 1. Missouri – Slave State. 2. Main would enter as a Free State. 3. Slavery would be prohibited above the 36/30 parallel. PS- 11 slave states vs. 11 free states. Missouri wanted to be added by a slave state. AS - 11 slave states vs. 11 free states.

They didn’t want slavery spreading into new territory.
SECTION 2 Expansion and Improvements Internal Improvements Who:Henry Clay Did What:HC – Proposed a strong national economy that would prevent regional conflicts. He proposed a protective tariff. Then the $$ from the tariff could be used to improve the nation internally. This became known as the American System.
SECTION 2 Expansion and Improvements Internal Improvements When: 1815 – 1820’s Where: United States Why: HC – knew a protective tariff would cause Americans to buy domestic goods as opposed to foreign goods. This would create a strong economy. (a protective tariff would make Americans want to buy cheaper American goods. This would benefit the north. With their new found $$, they would purchase the textiles from the south and the south would benefit from the $$. Thus all parts of the Country would help each other and therefore become dependent on each other. This would stop them from fighting.)
SECTION 2 Expansion and Improvements New Roads & Canals Who:American Government, DeWitt Clinton Did What: AG – tried to improve roads in America. Built the Cumberland road which stretched from West Virginia to Illinois. DC – NY Governor. Built the Erie Canal to help speed up travel from Albany to Buffalo.

SECTION 2 Expansion and Improvements New Roads & Canals When: early 1800’s – mid 1800’s Where: United States, NY Why: AG – early American roads were horrible (dirt, gravel, curdory, turnpike) so to make trade easier, new roads were built. This would speed up transportation of goods and ideas from all areas of the country. First of such road was the Cumberland road. Built and paid for by US Government. First of its kind. Water travel was still cheaper and quicker @ this time, but rivers didn’t go everywhere we needed them to, so canals were started. DC – Spent millions of $$ to build Erie canal. Tough project to complete. Took 8 years to complete. First major undertaking of its time. 363 miles of canal were built. 40 ft. wide, and 4 ft deep. Even went over a 500 ft. hill by using a system of locks. The success of the canal making NY a major trade center, set off a boom in the idea of improving America internally. If we did this, then we could benefit $$.
SECTION 2 Expansion and Improvements The Election of 1824 Who:John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson Did What: JQA – Secretary of state, ran for president in 1824. Democratic - Republican from the north.

Did have enough power to push through some of his internal improvements. AJ – Democratic – Republican Senator from Tennessee. Won the popular vote in the election, but didn’t have enough electoral votes to win. Thus went to H.O.R. for tie breaking vote. He lost. Claimed Clay and Adams had made a “Corrupt Bargain.”

Didn’t win popular vote, but won in H.O.R. AJ – Claimed “Corrupt Bargain.” Said Adams promised Clay favors if he helped him win in the House. Clay was later named Sec. of State.

SECTION 3 The Age of Jackson Jacksonian Democracy Who:Americans (political parties), Andrew Jackson, John C. Calhoun Did What:Americans – Expanding voting rights meant more Americans than ever could vote. (women couldn’t yet) Began holding nominating conventions: public meeting in which people began to select a political parties representatives for president. This allowed more people to become active in politics. Jackson was famous for letting numerous people be involved with his campaigns, and thus this increase in political activism was called Jacksonian Democracy. AJ – Campaigned against Adams for the entire 4 years Adams was president. Kept pushing the idea of the corrupt bargain. Chose John C. Calhoun to run for VP with him in 1828. B/c Adams was also the Dem. Rep. Jackson and his supporters broke off and formed the Democratic party (same one as today) and the Dem. Repub. Eventually started calling themselves just Republicans.

SECTION 3 The Age of Jackson Conflict over Tariffs When: 1828 Where: United States Why:NM – Wanted protection from larger British companies that could sell good cheaper then smaller American businesses. Wanted this protection in ways of Protective Tariffs. These taxes raised the prices of Foreign goods to be competitive with American goods. SM – Didn’t like tariffs. Tariffs raised the prices of goods and that was not good for consumers. Plus, when we raised the price on British goods, they put tariffs on Southern cotton sold in England and that decreased southern profits. Because they had little industry, this caused major hatred between the N & S (regional conflict). AJ - Pressured by Northern manufacturers, congress and Jackson pass a high protective tariff.

Federal power over state power. “Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable !” SC – Tested theory of Nullification when Jackson passed the Tariff of 1832. A new and higher tariff. Nullified the tariffs of 1828 & 1832. When Jackson said they couldn’t nullify, they threatened secession. AJ - Threatened S.C. with the army if they didn’t back down on nullification. Compromised - S.C. would back down, & enforce the tariffs, but the tariffs would be lowered over time.
