The XYZ affair leads to American

dislike of the French and fear of foreign influence

in America.

American diplomats travel to France to

solve foreign (harassing our ships)

problems with France.

Three French diplomats named

XYZ demand tribute and loans before speaking to the French leader.

Americans strongly refuse tribute

demands. “Millions for defense not one

cent for tribute.”

Can we work things out with the French?

I guess they want to be difficult.

How will President Adams “protect” America from those

evil foreigners?

Fear of F

oreign

influence leads to

new

laws passe

d by

President A

dams and

the Federalist Congress.

These news laws called the Alien and Sedition

Acts are passed for “American Security.”

The Alien and Sedition

Acts are seen as

unconstitutional and a

violation of states rights

by the Democratic

Republicans.

Are these laws for real? Where’s Judicial Review?

How will the TJ and the DR’s respond to the Alien and

Sedition Acts?Thomas Jefferson and James Madison write the Virginia

and Kentucky Resolutions in response to the Alien and

Sedition Acts.

These Resolutions call for the nullification of the Alien and Sedition Acts

based on the violation of states right.

The precedent that states can nullify

federal laws is created and will

cause problems in the future.

Could these cause problems in the future? I would place a high

bet on that.

Will the Federalists keep power after the Election of 1800?

Adams

&

Pinckney

Feds will keep us strong! Jefferson

&

Burr

DR’s will make

changes for the better!

The DR’s win but there’s only one problem. Can you figure it out?

The Federalist Congress (DR rivals and authors of those terrible Alien &Sedition

Acts) have a decision to make.

Burr

Jefferson

One of these DR’s will be the next President chosen by the Federalist.

The new President of the United States in 1800 (ironically with help from Hami) is TJ!

“Dude you won fair and square. Good luck with the power.”

“Thanks bro, don’t pull anything sneaky with your remaining time.”

Why was the Election of 1800 important?

12th amendment is passed to fix

voting and prevent future

ties.

The Federalists turned over power

to the DR’s peacefully, setting the precedent for the future power

transitions.

The key changes and precedents caused by the

Election of 1800.

How will President Adams use his reaming time in office?

“What can I do for my party with my remaining time in office?” (Lame Duck yo)

How will President Jefferson respond to this?

Adams and Feds lose election of 1800

Adams becomes 1st Lame Duck President

Feds pass Judiciary Act of 1801 to create new judicial positions.

John Marshall is appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

Adams appoints 42 Feds to judicial positions.

They become midnight judges at the last minute.

How will Marbury vs. Madison change American government and the Judicial

Branch?

What do I need to remember about Marbury vs. Madison?

Justice Marshall rules Judiciary

Act of 1789 unconstitutional creating Judicial

Review.

This gives the Judicial Branch the power to

review laws and declare them

unconstitutional.

The Judicial Branch now has

equal power with the other two branches.

How valuable is the Mississippi and New Orleans to the United States?

The Treaty of San Laurenzo, allowed United States the use of the Louisiana territory and New Orleans with Spanish Permission.

A secret treaty between France and Spain, gave the Louisiana territory and control of New Orleans to the French.

The United States is dependent on the port of New Orleans and use of the Mississippi River, and must try to make a deal with France.

“Life is hard as a President.” #dafedssuck

The U.S. really needs control of New Orleans and we don’t want a neighbor like France!

I will send James Monroe and Robert Livingston to France to try and buy it!

How did a Land Deal change America forever?

What will President Jefferson do with his new Purchase?

What resulted from that long expedition?

Results of the Lewis and Clark

Expedition.

Mapped ways

through the Rocky

Mountains.

Documented plants and animals of

the Louisiana Purchase.

Discovered there wasn’t an all water route across

North America.

Established good

relations with Natives in new land.

No water route dude, but the land is way cool.

How about a bonus bro?

How will President Jefferson handle the bullies in the

Mediterranean?

The United States can now trade on the seas without fear

of those evil Pirates.

After finally defeating the

barbary pirates American ships can

travel safely.

The barbary pirates attack vulnerable

American merchant Mediterranean ships in

the.

President Jefferson decides to fight them with

a built up Navy.

Early American leaders agree to pay tribute for

safe passage.

• England and France went to war (again) in 1803.– U.S. remained neutral.– 1806 – France prohibited all neutral trade

with Great Britain. – 1807 – Britain banned between France, her

allies and the Americas.

U.S. Trade

• British & French navies began capturing U.S. ships and searching them for war supplies.– The British even began practicing the policy of impressment on U.S.

sailors.

• 1807: Congress passes the Embargo Act – banned trade with ALL foreign countries.– No U.S. ships can sail to foreign ports.– No foreign ships can land in American ports.

• The embargo hurt American merchants in a HUGE way.– Lost $$$ and jobs– Especially hurt northern states– A black market was created where European goods were smuggled

into the U.S. through Canada.

Results of the Embargo Act• Embargo had little effect on England & France. They just traded

elsewhere.• Americans did begin to produce more of their own goods.• Jefferson’s popularity was damaged.– This strengthened Federalist Party.

Increase in popularity

Lost popularity
