Who Needs Sedition?

Election of 1800 Pt.3 Adams needed federalist support Hamilton rallied behind Charles Pinckney, VP nominee Aaron Burr and the brochure

It’s Not Me!

Campaign No speeches or statements from candidates. Campaign done via newspapers and other sources. A nasty campaign

I Am Not Left-Handed

Campaign 2 Adams accused of being monarchist Jeffersonians wanted to appeal to the common man. Tried to separate Adams from Washington

Now THAT’S a Duel

Ummm…..Help

Victory Continued House debated from February 11 th to February 17 th Finally elected Thomas Jefferson. Transfer of power done peacefully.

YAY Power!!!!

Reducing Government Reversed Federalist policies Would not give speeches to Congress Asked to be addressed as Mr. President Reduced amount of taxes

Very Nice!

Reducing 2 Cut the size of the federal bureaucracy Attorney General was not allowed a clerk Army dropped to just over 3,000 soldiers

Not Even A Clerk?!

Reducing 3 He did not want to destroy the Constitution Let the Bank continue to function. He knew the term would run out in 1811

Clock’s Ticking

Jefferson and Courts Judiciary Act of 1789 created a national court system Judiciary Act of 1801 decreased number of Supreme Court judges and upped the number of federals

Positively Dreadful

Courts 2 Outgoing Congressmen were trying to get Federalists in Supreme Court positions. A position they would hold for life Midnight judges

Times Up

Marbury v. Madison Gives power of Judicial Review Constitutionality of laws challenged John Marshall made such declaration

Judgey Wudgey

Home of Mardi Gras

Louisiana Purchase Monroe and Robert Livingston offered 15 million dollars to buy Louisiana. Napoleon wanted to sell the whole territory after issues in Haiti

Hot Idea

Louisiana Purchase 2 Livingston and Monroe hoped Jefferson and Congress would allow the sale. Jefferson urged Congress to do so. Doubled land size of US

That’s The Right One

Expedition 2 Hired Fur trapper and wife Sacajawea Reached Pacific in late Returned home September years and 4 months long

Immortality

Election of 1804 Jefferson was a popular first term president. He lowered taxes, got new territory, and let Alien and Sedition Acts expire. Kept nation at peace

Ya-Hooo!!!

Federalist Problem Louisiana Purchase caused an issue. Farmers moved into new land Farmers supported Republicans. A few Feds liked Jefferson

IDK

Hamilton and Burr Burr ran for governor in Hamilton strongly opposed. Hamilton told NY not support Burr. Burr did not receive the nomination for governor.

Burr Is Screwed

The Duel Burr challenged Hamilton Hamilton accepted July 11, 1804 in Weehawken, New Jersey. Burr killed Hamilton

Cat-astrophic
