1 President Jefferson Who was Jefferson? 3rd President Democratic-Republican conservative For the states and the people.

2 Jefferson ’ s Goals What were his goals as president? Democratize America Make government smaller and less powerful Reconcile (get over) party differences.

3 Jefferson ’ s Plan How did he plan to achieve his goals? 1.Democratize – acted less formal and dressed/acted like a regular citizen. Louisiana Purchase - Expand the country so that more people can own land and be involved in government. 2. Keep the government out of the economy (laissez faire and free market) = no tariff. Cut budget, decrease size of the government departments and army/navy, and repeal whiskey tax (vintage conservative economic policies). 3. Reconcile differences: Keep some Federalist policies = keep the national bank, pay off debts, and allow many federalists to keep their jobs. Allow them to stay involved without giving in.

4 What hurt Jefferson’ Plans? Marbury v Madison – precedent (example) for Judicial Review.  Courts would have the power to overrule any law or action (including Congress, the president, and even the states!)  National government power grows (win for the Federalists and liberals)! John Marshall - Chief Justice of the Supreme Court –served for over thirty years was a Federalist who supported power of national government.

5 Louisiana Purchase What brought it about? 1795 ’ s Pinckney ’ s Treaty with Spain had guaranteed the US the use of New Orleans to protect western states Spain lost Louisiana to France and Jefferson was concerned about the use of the port so he sent diplomats to negotiate a treaty with France. France (who had lost Haiti to revolution) was in need of money so they offered up all of Louisiana. The French dictator needed money for his European wars!

6 Achieving one goal at a cost! The Louisiana Purchase  US bought the land from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains o Doubled size of the US, opened land up for more farmers (Jefferson’s goals farmers will be landowners = voters!) o Results: Caused arguments over slavery, immigration, Indian problems, and transportation inventions, and expanded presidential power.

7 Lewis and Clark  Chose Lewis and Clark to explore the land: o They went to the Pacific Ocean with the help of Sacagawea and other Native Americans. o Mapped the territory and opened land for Americans to settle.

8 From sea to shining….. Set stage for expansion and settlement in those areas and conflict with the Spanish/Mexicans. Lewis and Clark and Pike set the precedent for expansion leading to “Manifest Destiny.” 1805 to 1807: Zebulon Pike explored the upper Mississippi River, the Arkansas River, and parts of present day New Mexico and Colorado.

The British began to supply the confederation with supplies and encouraged the natives to attack the American settlements in the west. The Confederation threatened American power. The Americans led by Governor William Henry Harrison attacked the natives at Tippecanoe. The natives were defeated and the Prophet was killed. Tecumseh was not there. The British continued to support and encourage the natives
