ELECTION OF 1800 Federalists nominee = Pres Adams re-
election and Charles Pinckney as VP
Democratic Republican nominee = Thomas Jefferson (current VP) and Aaron Burr as VP
No traveling around the country = that would have been seen as bad taste (Why????)
Instead letters in the paper
OOPS! Electoral College votes
Jefferson = 73 votesBurr = 73 votes
Tie = House of Representatives decideThey voted 35 times and it
still came out a tieHamilton got one person to
change vote and vote for Jefferson
Jefferson = Pres. Burr = VP
PRES JEFFERSON: 1801-1809
Laissez Faire ideas – let the people do as they choose
Strength of US = independent farmers – if you own property you’ll fight for your rights
Thus Jefferson wants the US to have MORE LAND
JEFFERSON’S POLICIES
According to your foldable, what were some of the polices Jefferson enacted when president?
Think about if these polices were effective?
JEFFERSON MAKES CHANGES
Reduce debtScale down military
Cut army by 1/3Cut navy from 25 ships to 7
Got rid of Whisky taxHow is the government getting
any $?Customs duties (tariffs) on
foreign goods
MARBURY VS. MADISONPres Adams before leaving office
tried to fill judge positions with Federalists
Marbury was one of those to get a job as a judge
New Pres Jefferson didn’t have his Sec. of State Madison deliver the papers and Marbury didn’t get the job as a judge
Marbury sues
MARBURY V MADISON The court ruled against Marbury But establishes the practice of
Judicial Review Constitution is the Supreme
Law of the landWhen there is a conflict
between laws the Constitution must be followed
Judicial branch is the one to uphold the Constitution
MOVING WEST
By the 1800’s Americans were moving over the Appalachian Mts. = for land and adventure
Most pioneers become farmersIn 1800 the USA went to the
Mississippi RiverWest of the Mississippi River was

NAPOLEON IS TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLDIn 1800 Spain breaks Pinckney’s treaty and says US can’t use the Mississippi River anymore
US learns that Spain is going to give France the Louisiana Territory
Pres Jefferson knows Napoleon wants an empire in Europe as well as in America
NAPOLEON WANTS A NAVAL BASE IN THE CARIBBEAN
France can’t get control of Haiti (colony) and without Haiti they don’t have a naval base in Western Hemisphere
Without a naval base they don’t really need the Louisiana Territory
But France needs $ for the war going on in Europe, plus want to stick it to Britain (enemy)
USA WANTS MORE LAND AND GETS IT!
$15 million US makes the Louisiana Purchase
The US doubled in sizeBut what did we purchase?
Let’s send out some people to find outLewis and Clark with the help of
Sacagawea18 months 4000 miles
Zebulon PikeFinds Pikes Peak in Colorado
1.WHAT DOES THE TERM SECEDE MEAN?
2. WHY WOULD PEOPLE BE UNHAPPY ABOUT THE NEW PURCHASE?
3. WHY WOULD THEY TREATEN TO SECEDE?
SECEDE: ALREADY???????Massachusetts wanted to create their
own “Northern Confederacy” after the purchase of Louisiana territory because they feared the new territory would become Republican and reduce the federalists power
*What major problem will develop from the gain of this territory?
(Hint: Think of an institution that the founding fathers struggled in
ridding it.)
HAMILTON AND BURR (1804)

be Pres because of HamiltonHamilton heard rumors Burr was
going to have NY leave the USAHamilton accuses Burr of treason
and challenges to a dualHamilton gets shot and dieshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v

BRITAIN VS. FRANCE = $ FOR USA 1803 Britain and France are a war US claims neutrality but trades with
both sides British navy needs sailors – take over
American boats trading and make the sailors be part of their navy = impressment
Embargo Act – US can’t trade with anyone imports or exports
The hope was to hurt Britain – didn’t work they found others to trade with
JEFFERSON IS DONE AFTER 2 TERMS
Democratic Republicans nominate Madison
Federalists nominate = Pinckney
Madison Wins 122 to Pinckney’s 47 electoral votes
QUICK-WRITE: PUT INTO NOTES
How did the changes that Jefferson made when he became president reflect his views about government?
QUICK WRITE:
Make a prediction on how Madison will be as a president.
How does the way Jefferson left things in the presidency impact the way Madison will act as president?
PRES MADISON: 1809-1817.
1810 – Congress says we will trade with whichever country lifts trade restrictions on US
France jumps at the chance before Britain – yet doesn’t follow the rules
US is divided – are we going to war and if so against who
TROUBLES AT HOME WHILE TROUBLES ARE ABROAD
More settlers = New states on the other side of Appalachian Mountains
More states = more conflict with Native Americans
Tecumseh – Shawnee leader establishes a confederacy of Native Nations – and is backed by Britain and Canada
Tecumseh’s brother was known as the Prophet and many gathered to practice native traditions
MADISON SENDS THE TROOPS
William Henry Harrison is sent by the US with the military to defeat the Natives
1811 Tecumseh is in the south trying to expand territory
US decides to attack on the Tippecanoe River (Indiana)– Prophet flees
Tecumseh joins forces with Britain Settlers cry “On to Canada”
DECLARATION OF WAR
President Madison goes to Congress and asks for a declaration of war against Britain
Becomes known as War of 1812Britain = larger enemy War hawks (South and West)= Henry Clay and John C Calhoun
US ISN’T READY FOR WAR
7,000 troops 500,000 state militiaAll poorly trained and poorly funded
Natives on the side of Britain August 1814, British attack Washington DC and Burn the White House

Impact of the National Anthem
TREATY OF GHENT Ghent, Belgium 1814 Peace treaty – ended the war without
changing existing borders of US
Battle of New Orleans happens after the treaty was signed because news hadn’t made it back to the US from Europe (Gives Andrew Jackson instant fame)
Tecumseh dies in 1813: Native Americans once again crushed!
America has extreme Nationalism!!!
