In this section you will learn that the split between Hamilton and Jefferson led to the growth of political parties in America.
3
Washington’s presidency (1789-1797) ended with a foreign policy warning that the U.S. remain neutral and “steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world”. This advice served to guide U.S. policy into the 20 th century.
4
Despite Washington’s admonitions to the contrary, the political differences between Jefferson/Madison, and Hamilton led to the formation of political parties.
5
Jefferson and Madison, envisioning an agrarian nation with limited government, founded the Democratic- Republican party which attracted farmers and workers to its ranks.
7
Alexander Hamilton, envisioning an industrial nation with a strong central government, founded the Federalist party which attracted Northern merchants and manufacturers.
9
FEDERALISTS DEMOCRATIC- REPUBLICANS Strong national government Fear of mob rule Loose interpretation of the Constitution Favored national bank Pro manufacturing and shipping Supporters: lawyers, merchants, manufacturers, clergy Limited national government Fear of despotic rule Strict interpretation of the Constitution Opposed national bank Pro farming Supporters: farmers, tradespeople
10
In the election of 1797, the Federalist John Adams beat the Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson to become the second president of the United States.
12
The eye of God has instigated the American eagle to snatch from Jefferson's hand the "Constitution & Independence" of the U.S. before he can cast it on an "Altar to Gallic Despotism," whose flames are being fed by the writings of Thomas Paine, Helvetius, Rousseau, and other freethinkers.
