APUSH - Chapter 6, 7, 8 Study Guide CHAPTER 6 Background Adams was re running for president this time against his former vice president - Thomas Jefferson ○ Adams avoided the hate from federalist - solid quartiles appealed to conservatives, liked that he was against supporting the radical french ideas ○ Many nationalist were worried that republicans would weaken the strong government established by federalist ○ Electros did not diminished who won - burr or jefferson Gets turned over to the house - hamilton hated burr and support jefferson Thomas Jefferson becomes president ○ Development of national parties made prior voting system unfair KEY POINT - 12 amendment gets drafted stating separate balloting for vice president and president Significance of Election 1800 Shown the peaceful transfer of power from one party to another It was NOT a revolution and showed the system the federalist had set up was working KEY POINT - american government had passed a crucial test of handing over powers from party to party Jefferson’s Presidency 1801 - thomas becomes president - new presidential house on potomac river Gives inaugural speech ○ Simple, kinda like washintons ○ Regain nationalism ○ Get people hyped ○ Reminder not to get involve in political affairs and that we are one country together despite different political parties Federalist era ends ○ In between the peace of paris treaty and jay's treaty the federalist had done the much needed work of strengthening the government and creating a sound fiscal economy, seeking adcominations with britain ○ Up until 1798 they had really good self control - but as the democratic republican party starting growing and becoming stronger they started spiraling People began wanting individual freedom over national government Thomas jefferson did not abandoned successful federalist ideas Thomas jefferson made a plan to address the concerns and popular dissatisfaction during the federalist rule Start of the virginia dynasty ○ 24 years of democratic republican presidents from virginia ○ Federalist parties die - but some of ideas get adopted Thomas Jefferson as President Repealed the alien and sedition act and naturalization act Kept hamilton's financial plan - this would end up being vital during the louisiana purchase He was kind of partisan (this means being a representative for a political party) he only drew cabinet members from his party ○ He still tried to get all political sides perspectives Thomas Jefferson Personality Hardly seemed cut out for politics - never hunted or gambled Loved architecture and farming Controversy dismayed him - he often gave the responsibility to someone else Like hamilton he thought humans were inherently selfish Was for slavery but had a child with a slave…. KEY POINT - viewed all government as a threat to individual freedom ○ Heavily relied on democracy and protection of personal freedom ○ Had a distrust towards hamilton's previous goals of relations with britain and industrial society Jefferson’s Inauguration A Lot like george washingtons - tried to remain humble but rally people up Acknowledged the development of political parties but remained optimistic about the future of country Judiciary Act 1801 Created a number of new federal judgeships ○ John Adams (right before he was leaving office) filled them all with federalist Once Thomas Jefferosn gained power he immediately repealed the act Some of the commission that Adams had order had not been fulfilled and Thomas Jefferson said it didn't matter and should be withheld Marbury (one of adams appointed officials) petitioned to the new supreme court to force James Madsion to give him judicial commission John Marshall - look into this more Chief justice - decided that the judiciary act was unconstitutional But heads with thomas jefferson Was a big support for a strong federal government, minimal power to the states Laid the foundation for the courts eventual independence Marbury v. Madison - need to watch a video on this John Marshall decided that a clause contained in the judiciary act violated the constitution Marshall wanted the supreme court's power to be able to strike down laws that contradicted the constitution. Jefferson viewed this as a violation of judicial power and the checks and balance system ○ Even though maybury had a right to complain it didn't matter because the original judiciary act was deemed unconstitutional ○ ○ Marybury would not receive commission - not because he didnt deserve it but because the og thing was unconstitutional (this is when judicial review starts) KEY POINT - this case established the power of the federal judiciary to invalidate federal laws This got Jefferson pumped up and he was like while i'm at it i might as well try to fix more of the corrupt federal things ○ Got rid of unfit district judge - John Pickering ○ Samuel Chase (associate judge of the supreme court) - house of rep impeached him, however senate found that his actions did not equal the high crimes Twelfth Amendment Changed the electoral process by requiring different ballots for the president and vice president Made it so the election of 1800 would never happen again Prevented the vice president to be a political rival of the president Barbary pirates and war Thomas Jefferson put his foot down and was like we are done paying tribute the african pirates ○ Like wtf we are a real country now - the pirates are gonna make us pay ○ United states was the only maritime nation to refuse to pay the protection money ○ Tripoli declares war on the united states - 1801 ○ americans don't fully win the pirates agree to create a negotiation with america ○ KEY POINT - One of Thomas Jefferson accomplishments Robert Livingston The guy sent to negotiate the louisiana? Louisiana Purchase Purchased during Thomas Jefferson term - expanded the country by almost double Spain had given the terrority over to france in 1800s - however before giving it up they revoked the right to deposit at new orleans ○ Thomas jefferson was nervous about this and also nervous about napoleon's goals to dominate and conquer western hemisphere ○ Initially the united states just wanted louisiana but napoleon ended up giving the whole land ○ Napoleon needed money because french rev was going on, he also was trying to shut down the slave rebellion in haiti - gave united states all the land in between mkissip river and rocky mountains ○ Thomas jefferson initially had some doubt as to if it was constitutional - but decided it was best for the country ○ Some federalist were opposed - thought new states would join as slave states Expanded the country and prompted western development Acess to missipi Showed that the national bank was working because the national credit system made the united states able to purchase land Federalist Decline Popularity with thomas jefferson began to grow New states in the south and west led to a decline in federalist and new england power Federalist tried to gain control of newyork government - failed Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel and killed him… Napoleon War between britain and france stimulated american economy Napoleon then resorted to economic warfare against britain - britain relations with the council of orders ○ Blockaded most continental ports and paid customs duties, unless the vessel stopped at british ports ○ Napoleon then declares that any vessel submitting to british rules became english property and subject to capture ○ Many people just stopped engaging in colonial trade - look into this more because i'm kinda confused Haiti Only place were the slaves successfully rebelled - got people worried that same would happen in america Lewis and Clark expedition Thomas jefferson sends lewis and clark out to explore the new land that the united states acquired Very monumental - learn alot about the vast land and all the species living there Sacajawea Accompanied lewis and clark Since she was a woman she made them look very friendly and help them navigate the lands Essex Junto Group of lawyers and merchants who were radical federalist - emerged in the 1800s Influential in new england and were known to hate thomas jefferson Hated the war of 1812 and thought about leaving the country - lead to the hartford convention Burr conspiracy Since there was opposing party - the federalist party basically disintegrated - there was bound to be tension in the democratic republican party Functionalism emerged within the democratic republicans Aaron burr gets called a tyrant and accused of taking over the united states and making it an empire ○ Burr gets captured and charged with treason ○ John marshall decides he is going yo be super constitutional and techquity you need 2 people for treason - so he basically says that burr is fine This pisses of jefferson who feels like marshall purposely did this just to piss him off Jefferson and marshall did not have a good relationship did Impressment Britain was capturing american soldiers and claiming that they were there's - caused lots of turmoil and drama No one took the americans serious and this turned into a whole issue ○ Threaten americans rights as a neutral country ○ Jefferson was at a fork because he wanted to stand up for the country but also didn't want to go to war Continental system Strategy implemented by napoleon during the napoleonic wars ○ Attempted to cripple the british economy - ford biggin european nations under french control to trade with britain ○ Goal of isolating britain ○ Didn't really end up working because it was hard to enforce and other countries didn't listen - led to napoleon's downfall Rule of War of 1756 British policy implemented during the 7 years war - britain would not trade with neutral countries if they were trading with the enemy Out the united states in a tough position because they wanted to just stay out of the whole conflict but this rule made it very hard \ British used this rule to justify seizing american ships - cause technically they should not be trading with france if they were a neutral nation Embargo Act Britain fires on an united states ship - thomas jefferson orders that all british warship must get out of american water Congress passes an act banning all exports ○ Thomas jefferosn hoped this would severely affect the british and french economy Instead it really hurt the united states Created lots of internal tension USS Chesapeake incident American ship was boarded by british and attacked - some americans were killed Caused big uproar and escalating tension leading to the war of 1812 Non-Intercourse Act, 1809 As thomas jefferson is leaving office, congress appeals the embargo act Implements the non intercourse act, 1809 ○ Forbidden trade ONLY with britain and france ○ Gave the president the right to end the boycott against either country if they stopped violating the rights of the americans Orders in Council - look into this Britain announced the rules during the napoleonic wars Required neutral nations (usa) to get a license from britain before trading with any ports under france control ○ American ships had to stop in british ports and pay a fee before they could move on As a response napoleon announces the berlin and milan decrees - announces that any ship that complies with british orders has the right to be taken down by france KEY POINT - this puts the united states it a very tough position and there really is no way for them to remain truly neutral without paying the consequences Points of Mastery/Essays 1.

thought they could get the upper hand if they waited American win at plattsburg - gave them the upper hand at the treaty of ghent Treaty ends with a “status quo ante bellum” - basically a tie KEY POINT -
