April 19, 2016 Goal: Analyze the successes and failures of John Adams as president QOD: What was John’s relationship with his wife? Agenda: Abigail Quotes John Adams HBO Chapter 6 (His presidency) Homework: The Alien and Sedition Acts

Abigail Adams Considered sharper than a woman ought to be; read more than a woman was supposed to, and spoke out even when the custom of her time and gender called for silence. In a famous March 1776 letter, she beseeched her husband to “Remember the Ladies” when making laws for the “New Republic.” “Do not put unlimited power in the hands of the husbands” she wrote, “remember all men would be tyrants if the could.”

Their marriage John and Abigail frequently wrote letters to each other, because they were often apart. In these letters they would share current events. With the person next to you, come up with 4 events today they may have discussed.

In the words of Abigail Adams Each team will look at the packets and discuss and write down the following (one paper per team, so choose a reporter) How did she feel about slavery? Role of women? Education and children? The cause of liberty (freedom)?

The Presidency of John Adams The XYZ Affair Hurts John Adams’ Presidency

John Adams, 2nd President of the United States Troubles With France The French are upset over Jay’s Treaty (the agreement in 1794 between England and the U.S.  which limited trade relations between US and France) and continue to attack American ships Adams tries to solve the problem by sending three diplomats to negotiate with France’s new government John Adams, 2nd President of the United States

The XYZ Affair When the American diplomats arrived in France, 3 French agents demanded a bribe from the Americans just to meet with them The event became a sensation to the American public The French agents were kept secret and were referred to as Agents X, Y, and Z, hence XYZ Affair

Napoleon Bonaparte, France’s New Dictator War Fever! Many Americans demanded war on France after being embarrassed Adams kept his cool and settled the problem through further negotiations with France’s new dictator: Napoleon Bonaparte However, his own political party, the Federalists, were furious with him Napoleon Bonaparte, France’s New Dictator

Alien and Sedition Acts War fever made federalists and John Adams fear a revolution in the U.S, this led to a mistrust of immigrants Federalists and Adams also sought to destroy their Republican opponents Federalists in Congress, along with the support of John Adams, passed the Alien and Sedition Acts: Alien Act - An immigrant had to live in U.S for 14 years to become a citizen (was previously 5) Sedition Act - It became a crime to write anything insulting or false about the government

Republicans React Republicans (led by Jefferson) encouraged state legislatures to nullify (these acts) the Alien and Sedition Acts Two states did: Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions These two resolutions had the long term effect of promoting states’ rights and allowing states to challenge the federal government (a major cause of the Civil War)
