3. Give Peace a Chance
Jefferson looks to make friends with foreign countries but avoid war
The spread of trade and the expansion of the United States would cause trouble with other nations
The United States could NOT control foreign actions and would soon have to confront France, England, and North Africa

4. Clowns to the Left of me…Jokers to the right!
The US benefited from European Wars, gaining land and trade, but by 1805 Britain began to prevent American trade to enemies
France also enacted partial blockades putting the US in the middle of the conflict
Britain also used impressments to hurt US trade including an attack on the Chesapeake which led to the death of 3 americans
Jefferson would NOT declare war angering some americans

5. Here I am…Stuck in the Middle with You
Jefferson sought to ban all foreign trade and passed the Embargo Act of 1807 which banned the US from all foreign ports and Closed American ports to Britain
The Policy was a disaster and hurt the economy, especially farmers, merchants and Shippers
When James Madison won the 1808 election the embargo laws had already been repealed
Madison tried to ban trade with BOTH France and Britain, but that was also unsuccessful

Americans became furious as Britain tried to Stir up trouble with Native Americans
Tecumseh vowed to stop the loss of land to American settlers and tried to unite the Native American Tribes into one group

7. My dog jumped in and flipped my boat….I guess he:
When the Miami, Delaware, and Potawatomi tribes agreed to sell over 3 million acres of land to William Henry Harrison, Tecumseh voided the sale
After the Treaty of Fort Wayne, Native Americans Unified but it was too late
As Tecumseh tried to unify other tribes, the Shawnee were defeated by Harrison at the Battle of Tippecanoe

8. NORTH….
After the loss at Tippecanoe, Tecumseh fled to Canada and formed an alliance with Great Britain
Henry Clay and other American War Hawks demanded war against Britain
They aimed to stop aid to the Native Americans and looked to push Britain out of Canada

9. This Means War!!
Some Americans wanted Britain punished for their acts at sea
Andrew Jackson wanted to end impressment and interference with American Ships
Jackson also wanted to open up more US markets
Congress declared war on Britain on June 18th, 1812 to put an end to British Actions against the US
