The Early National Period

Objective: SWBAT

Identify the Jay Treaty and how it led to the Jeffersonian transition

Analyze Jefferson’s term as President

Parties emerge

Two political parties begin to dominate the scene Democratic-Republicans (Jefferson) Federalists (Hamilton, Washington, Adams)

The DR’s are mostly southern F’s mostly northern Basically the same as the Federalist/ Anti-

Fed debate

International conflict

Who is our friend: Britain or France? DR - France F – Britain

The US will have a small conflict with Britain in the 1790’s

This conflict would be the first test of the country’s international power

The players

John Jay

George Washington

Alexander Hamilton

The Issues Britain was still occupying a number of forts on U.S. territory in the

Great Lakes region.

American merchants wanted compensation for 250 ships confiscated during 1793–94.

Southerners wanted compensation for the slaves the British had taken from them during the Revolution.

Merchants wanted the British West Indies reopened to American trade.

The boundary with Canada was too vague and needed delineation.

The British were believed to be aggravating Native-American attacks on settlers in the West.

The Jay Treaty (1794)

Aka The Treaty of London (1794) Terms

Britain would leave the forts in the west, though British traders would still be allowed to stay

Britain would compensate Americans for ships taken

Boundaries would be officially set

Terms

The United States was given “Most Favored Nation” status with Britain Made the US Britain’s chief trading

partner

Failures

Jay was an opponent of slavery, so he did not demand the compensation for slaves This angered the southern DR’s

Did not open up the West Indies as many had hoped

Failed to stop the impressments of American ships and sailors

Who were the Democratic-Republicans?

How did they differ from the Federalists?

Objective: SWBAT

Analyze the Jeffersonian Presidency

Enter John Adams

Washington did not seek a third term as President The Jay treaty and the

growing rift between the two parties did that

Feds nominate John Adams DR’s nominate Jefferson

Adams Controversies

The XYZ Affair The French saw the Jay Treaty as a

breach of the alliance that was forged in the Revolution

France begins capturing American ships bound for England

XYZ Affair

Adams sends a three man team to meet the French foreign minister (Talleyrand)

Instead they are met by three French officials (Adams called them “X”, “Y” and “Z”) They would demand a bribe of $250

thousand before they could see the minister

Alien + Sedition Acts

Fearing revolution the Federalists got the acts through in 1798

Alien acts Increased the residency requirements for

citizenship Sedition acts

Made it illegal to speak out against the government

DR Reaction

Oh @!$#%#@ NO! Seriously, @#%^ no. Seriously.

Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions In response VA and KT adopt resolutions

declaring the A+S Acts unconstitutional The KT Resolution would go as far as to say the

states have the right to NULLIFY any Federal law they feel is Unconstitutional NULLIFICATION

What is Nationalism

Nationalism A devotion to one’s nation The belief that a people linked by common

cultural structures should be sovereign

The War of 1812 and Nationalism

Nationalist fervor spread throughout the nation

One event would cause it to spike

Washington Burns

Battle of Bladensburg

The campaign against Washington was retaliation

Earlier in the conflict US forces stormed Toronto and burned the massive forts to the ground

August 24, 1814

British forces sail up the Potomac and land in Bladensburg (PG county)

The troops at Bladensburg are being commanded by the inept William Winder A nepotistic appointment, he was a

nephew

Bladensburg was a disaster The troops were over-matched and the

retreat was chaotic

The British would call it the “Baldensburg Races”

Baltimore reacts

Baltimore knows that it is next The “nest of pirates” was responsible for

causing a lot of destruction to British ships on the high seas

9/14/1814

Results

Baltimore withstood the Bombardment The British left, would go on to lose in

further campaigns in the New York arena

And would suffer a crushing defeat in New Orleans Even though it took place after the war

had officially ended

Political results

Death of the Federalist party Many did not want to fight the British Some would almost be considered

traitors for having that view Nationalism becomes the new

domestic policy

The Monroe Doctrine

After Madison we have James Monroe He rides the wave of Nationalism and

creates a policy that would be called the Monroe Doctrine

The Monroe Doctrine

The Western hemisphere is CLOSED. No longer will the United States allow new foreign influence in their areas.

Objective: SWBAT

Identify changes in society under the Jacksonian Era

Analyze the effect the cotton gin had on slavery and North – South relations

Economies develop and change

Early American divisions between North and South grow larger

New England With new inventions and better

manufacturing capabilities factories begin to take hold

The Northwest Small independent farmers used to grow

all they could and sell the extra

NOW, farmers realize that if they grew ONE crop very well they could sell that to urban markets

Use the money to buy whatever else they need

The South Crops of the south were things like

tobacco and rice

Cotton becomes a big player in the 19c because of one invention

Eli Whitney’s

Cotton GinCleans the seeds out of the cotton fiber before going to market

The Cotton Gin effects

Before 1 worker = 1 lb of cotton/ day

After 1 worker = 50 lbs of cotton/ day

The major result slavery is resurgent and spreads throughout the south

As slavery spreads..

Land in the west becomes more valuable, and the process of westward expansion is a hotly debated issue

With a partner, read the debate between Senator Hayne and Senator Webster
