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
