Benefit from war

France and Britain were engaged in war (again) and the U.S. filled the trade void left by the two powers.

G.B. and France ignored our right to neutrality. Napoleon broke the Treaty of Morfontaine and the British began the impressment our sailors.

However, foreign trade continued to skyrocket to an all-time high (over 100 million dollars in 1807).

U.S. Reaction

Many Americans were angry with the practice of impressment and wanted war with G.B.

Jefferson, like his predecessors wanted to avoid war.

Embargo Act of 1807: Forbade American to import or export goods… Good Idea or Bad Idea, why?

Embargo Act of 1807

Terrible Idea: Hinder America’s economy American market not big enough to make up

the difference in lost exports Cost of goods increased dramatically

(European goods were often cheaper) Smugglers Jefferson was forced to use our army and navy

against those that didn’t follow the Act

Better solution

Nonintercourse (trade) Act of 1809: Allowed Americans to trade with all countries except G.B. and France.

#Jeffkeepstradition# Jefferson decides not to run for a third

Who Wins? By how many votes?Is the support for the Federalists growing or shrinking?

J-Mad

Extraordinarily well educated Wrote the U.S. Constitution From VA Served as Jefferson’s Sec of State Short 5 foot 4

Problems

White settlers keep expanding westward causing conflicts with Native tribes.

-The Conflict exists because the settlers and natives are competing for land and resources.

G.B. continues to undermine our interactions with the natives by providing them with weapons and encouraging conflict.

Treaty of Greenville

Agreement is reached between the U.S. government and the Western Confederacy, after the battle of Falling Timbers.

Sets up a pattern: U.S. takes land and gives Natives money…Natives continue to move west.

UNITY Tecumseh-a Shawnee leader successfully

unites several tribes to defend their land from westward settlers.

Tecumseh’s brother – “The Prophet” was the spiritual leader of the new confederation.

Obstacles : Rival tribes refused to unite and follow Tecumseh…Tecumseh will be killed and the movement will fall apart.

War Hawks

Led by Henry Clay of KY

Motives:Nationalism: Pride in one’s countryTo seize CanadaTo stop Britain from seizing our shipsTo end British aid to Native Americans in the WestTo take Florida from Spain, Britain’s ally.

Still some Americans were weary of going to war

Breaking PT

GB begins a blockading some American ports, in order to prevent us from trading with the French.

Hartford Convention: New England states discuss leaving (seceding) the Union if “Mr. Madison’s” war takes place.
