Not Everything Federalist is Bad

On the Advice of his Treasury Secretary, Albert Gallatin, he kept the Bank of The United States.
The federal government also continued to pay off state debts.

![Page 9: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Packing the Court
• Judiciary Act of 1801– Increases number
of federal judges by 16• Adams sought to
appoint Federalist judges before his term was over
– Midnight Judges – Adams signed appointments late in the last day of his administration
![Page 10: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
I Believe You Have My Commission
• William Marbury did not receive his commission– James Madison –
Secretary of State• Refuses to deliver
the commission– Judiciary Act of
1789 required the Supreme Court to order that the papers be delivered
![Page 11: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Please Don’t Sue, Please Don’t Sue… Crap!
• Marbury sued Madison to deliver the commission
• Chief Justice Marshall, a Federalist, now in a tough spot
![Page 12: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Avoiding a Train Wreck• Marshall does not order Madison to deliver
the commission• Instead Marshall declares:
– Madison should deliver the commission– The Supreme Court does not have the
authority to make him because…• The Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional
• Judicial Review is established– Authority of the Supreme Court to strike down
unconstitutional acts of Congress

Jefferson First Looks Into New Orleans
Jefferson wanted to make sure American farmers would always be able to ship their goods through the port.
Jefferson sent Robert Livingston and James Monroe to buy NO and west Florida from Napoleon. $10 million was the max they could spend.
![Page 22: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A Surprising Offer
French Minister, Talleyrand, took Livingston and Monroe’s offer of $4 million as “Too Low”.
What happens next takes both men by surprise.
Talleyrand comes back the next day and asks if the US would be interested in buying all of Louisiana.
Although they knew they had no authority to buy Louisiana, they made the deal for $15 mil.
![Page 23: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Constitutional?Jefferson worried
that the purchase overstepped the authority of his office.
In the end, he decided that the Office did have the power to make treaties and had the Senate approve the treaty per his request.

Trading Around the WorldClever Yankee
traders kept a sharp lookout for new goods and markets.
In New England traders cut ice into blocks, packed them in sawdust and traded the ice to India for silk and spices.
![Page 30: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Conflict With the Barbary States
Traders ran the greatest risk in the Mediterranean Sea.
Pirates from the Barbary States, the nations along the coast of North Africa, attacked passing vessels.
To protect American ships, the U.S. paid a yearly tribute, or bribe to the rules of the Barbary States such as Tripoli.
![Page 31: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Philadelphia In 1801, Tripoli increased its demands. Jefferson refused to pay and Tripoli declared War.
Jefferson ordered a blockade of Tripoli, but during the blockade the USS Philadelphia ran aground.
To keep Tripoli from using the ship against us, Naval Officer Stephen Decatur had his men burn the ship.
![Page 32: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Battle of TripoliAmerican Marines marched 500 miles to launch a surprise attack on Tripoli. In 1805, the ruler of Tripoli signed a treaty promising not to attack again.

Jefferson Tries and Embargo• Embargo: a ban on trade• Jefferson hoped the Embargo Act of
1807 would hurt France and Great Britain.– It did hurt them, but it hurt us more– Exports dropped off by $80 million– Merchants began to smuggle goods
Jefferson realized the Embargo did not work. He replaced it with the milder Nonintercourse Act, which only ban trade with France and Great Britain
![Page 35: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Conflict with Native Americans
About 900,000 white settlers moved west of the Appalachians.
They hunted and farmed on Native landsSettlers had ignored treaties signed with the U.S.

The Battle of Fallen TimberGeorge Washington
had sent General “Mad Anthony” Wayne into the Ohio Valley.
Thinking that Wayne would have problems fighting there because of the terrain, the Natives did not give enough thought to his troops.
![Page 38: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

easily by Wayne’s army. The leaders of the Miami Tribe signed the treaty.

Tecumseh and his brother Prophet began a reform movement of the Shawnees to rid all traces of “white civilization”They warned that the “Great Spirit” was
angry with all the Tribes for abandoning traditional practices.
Tecumseh traveled through the southwest to win followers, but many chiefs had already received their payments.

Congress Declares WarThe British formed a blockade to prevent the US from trading with France
A brief naval battle broke out between the two, and the US won.This only increased the cries for war.
At last President Madison gave into War fever!
In June of 1812, he asked congress for a declaration of War.Americans would soon learn that declaring war was much easier than winning

Declared & Unprepared
Jefferson’s cuts to the military had left the US unprepared for War.
-The navy had only 16 ships-The Army was small and ill equipped-Few officers knew about warfare-There were few regular troops and the Army depended on volunteers.-The government offered money and land to volunteers-Many volunteers were untrained and many deserted
![Page 49: The Age of Jefferson](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681635a550346895dd418f8/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
New England ProtestNew England Federalist,
out of fear of the US gaining land in Canada and Florida, protested the war.
They felt that new states would hurt their economy. They convened at the Hartford Convention and threatened secession if the War continues.

Fighting at SeaIsaac Hull, captain
of the USS Constitution
The Constitution was able to defeat the British ship the HMS Guerriere.
The Constitution tore holes in the side of the Guerriere and blew off both mast. British cannon bounced off the Constitution giving it the nickname “Old Ironside”
This victory cheered Americans but did little to help the war effort.

War in the WestGeneral William
Hull, Commander of U.S. Forces
One of the goals of the War Hawks was to conquer Canada.
They were convinced that Canadians would welcome the chance to remove themselves from British control and join the Americans.

Invasion of Canada-General William Hull moved American troops from Detroit into Canada.
-They did not expect much a fight
-Canadians had only a few untrained troops, but were led by clever British general, Isaac Brock
-Brock paraded his soldiers in Red Coats -Americans thought the Canadians were being aided by experienced British troops.-Brock’s scare tactics worked, and Hull retreated from Canada
