13 Jeffersonian Philosophy … Big Ideas Decentralized the government Cut costs Reduce bureaucracy Eliminate taxes

14 Jeffersonian Presidency 1801 = 1 st president to live in DC Adams appointed several “midnight judges” Placed Federalists in control of Judiciary – John Marshall- Chief Justice – Judiciary Act 1801- 16 new judgeships & 6 additional circuit courts

15 Jeffersonian Presidency Republican Policies Reduced size of government bureaucracy and expenses Refused to reenact Alien/Sedition Acts and released those imprisoned Abolished internal taxes- excise whiskey tax Established United States Military Academy (West Point)

16 Jeffersonian Presidency Republican Policies Reduced size of military Repealed Judiciary Act of 1801 and removed numerous of the Midnight Appointees Made Western land cheaper for small farmers Reduction of national debt

17 Birth of Political Parties … a few more details Political Parties Born French Revolution and European wars divided US – Ideological – Hamilton = pro British – Jefferson = pro French – Jefferson & Hamilton fought over Economic policies – Party System stems from these differences Hamilton = Federalists Jefferson = Democratic-Republicans

18 Jeffersonian Philosophy Strict interpretation of Constitution Small gov’t and less taxes Agricultural society Sided with the French Presidency with no trappings

19 Louisiana Purchase 1803 France secretly acquired territory in 1800 Napoleon willing to sell for war $ Mission sent to buy N.O. Bought the whole territory for $15 million Purchasing land not mentioned in Constitution…

20 The Louisiana Purchase TJ struggled with constitutionality of the purchase Jefferson had to reverse strict interpretation of Constitution to purchase without Congress’ approval – Claimed it was part of treaty-making powers Saw territory as potential “Northwest Passage” to the Pacific Saw it as potential to be less tangled in European affairs Doubled Size of US

21 The Louisiana Purchase

23 Map 8.6 Defining the National Boundaries, to 1800-1820 (p. 240)

24 Map 8.4 U.S. Population Density in 1803 and the Louisiana Purchase (p. 234)

25 Lewis and Clark lead the Corps of Discovery

26 Lewis and Clark Key task = Map Louisiana Territory – Meriwether Lewis – William Clark Kept detailed journals

27 Lewis and Clark Left St. Louis in 1804 with 31 men Explored Louisiana Territory via the Missouri River Contact with Indian Nations Scientific knowledge greatly expanded Strengthened US claims to Oregon Maps and Geographic knowledge expanded

28 Sacagawea Wife of a French-Canadian fur trader Hired by Lewis & Clark as guides and interpreters Showed explorers where to fish, to hunt, and to find wild vegetables Helped trade supplies with American Indians

29 Westward Movement … things to keep in mind Migrations are processes that take time Not political treaties/events Migrations = dynamic and complicated. Have numerous causes and effects Questions about a migration = use of reasoning skills over knowledge of facts

30 Westward Movement … motives Oppression of landowners – Freedom to choose where and what to plant Shortness of land Slavery Crowded New England cities Ensure land for children

31 High demands for crops in Europe due to improvements in technology – Spinning Jenny/weaving mules Improvement of technology = need for manual labor – Crop rotation and better equipment Jefferson/Republicans cut price of land Westward Movement … motives

32 Westward Movement … population

33 Westward Movement … questions & results Native American Question – Assimilation or Annihilation Westward expansion helped boost America’s farming economy Many saw great success through difficult labor

34 Jefferson re-elected in 1804 … Trouble looms Aaron Burr plot Opposition within Republican party Napoleonic Wars in Europe – British & French Naval Troubles – Impressment Embargo Act of 1807

35 Burr conspiracy(s) and Duel Burr and New England radical Federalists to secede in 1804 - failed Challenged A. Hamilton to duel - killed him in 1804 Westward conspiracy - take Mexico to unite with Louisiana under his rule Burr conspiracy trial - acquitted of treason by a jury

36 The Duel … Aaron Burr vs. Alexander Hamilton

37 Impressment & Embargo Act of 1807 Jefferson cut size of military by more than 50% French & British threaten US ships British impress American citizens (Chesapeake-Leonard Affair) Jefferson abandoned all international trade via Embargo Act

38 The Embargo Act 1807 Intended to punish the British and French No foreign trade at all Backfired and devastated the US economy Economic slump begins Repealed in 1809 Embargo-runners emerge Liability for Rep. party
