Washington’s Farewell AddressWashington resigned in 1796

GW wrote a letter to the American people that was published everywhere!

He warned the country against a lot of different things we are going to learn about today

Group Activity

Mr. Collison is going to place you in groups of 3-4

Mr. Collison will place an excerpt (quote) on the board from Washington’s Farewell Address with 1-2 questions that go along with it.

As a group, you will need to use the quote to answer the question and write it on your worksheet

Excerpt 1

"The unity (togetherness) of government...is a main part of your real independence...of your tranquility (Peacefulness) at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty (freedom) which you so highly prize.”

Questions:

1. What does GW say makes you truly peaceful and free?

2. What does GW say you will get if the government is together?

Excerpt 2 (Talking about Political Parties: Federalists vs.

Democratic – Republicans

"It serves to distract the Public Councils, and (make weak the Public Administration....annoy the Community with not factual jealousies and false alarms; makes greater the animosity of one....against another....it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption”

Questions:

1. Does GW think they are good or bad?

2. What are three things GW says will happen if there are political parties?

Excerpt 3

"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion (part) of the foreign world...”

Excerpt 4 (On the military)

"...avoid the need of those overgrown (too large) military establishments, which, under any form of government, are not important to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty.”

Questions:

1. Does GW think there should be large military establishments?

2. How do you think GW thought a large military would hurt your freedom or liberty? (Think back to before the American Revolution

Excerpt 5 (This one’s a little trickier!)

“In thinking about the causes that may disturb our Union, it is a serious concern that we would characterize parties by geographical location: Northern and Southern; Atlantic and Western; It may create a belief that there is a real difference of local interests.”

Questions:

1. Does GW think we should use location in the country to determine parties?

2. What does he say will happen if we characterize parties by geographical location?

Who was the second president of the US?

Quasi-War Timeline

France mad at USA for Jay’s Treaty (What did Jay’s treaty allow Britain to do?)

Began seizing goods going to Britain on American ships

XYZ Affair

Congress stops trade with France and sends Navy

Convention of 1800 – US forgave France for damages and France let them out of 1778 Treaty

Alien and Sedition Acts

Federalists wanted to strike back at Republicans

Aliens – People lining in country who aren’t citizens

Sedition – starting a rebellion

Laws: 1. 14 years before citizenship

2. President could deport people without trial

3. Couldn’t say anything back about government people

Which acts are these scenarios dealing

with?Scenario 1: You are a Irish

immigrant looking to vote for the next election, but you first need to become a citizen. You have been here 10 years, and are told that you can not until you’ve been here 14 years.

Scenario 2

You are an French immigrant in the US, and a hard worker at a local iron store. John Adams finds out that you once talked to someone who was involved in a plot to overthrow the government. In order to protect the country, the President has deported you without a trial.

Scenario 3

You are a Republican furious at the laws passed by the government. You have always been afraid of the government getting too much power, and these laws help to prove your point. As the writer of a local news paper writer in Peabody, you write an article about the ridiculousness of the Federal government. A week later you are arrested and put in jail for 3 years.

Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions!

Virginia and Kentucky (Republican Controlled) HATED laws

States created Constitution, so we can declare federal laws unconstitutional

Virginia Resolution: Interposition – If government did

something illegal, states could step in and protect citizens

Kentucky Resolution: Nullification – If government

passed unconstitutional law, states could nullify or cancel it
