Jefferson’s 2 nd Term ( ) Fighting between G.B. and France continues G.B. blockaded French ports, as a result 1,000 U.S. ships were seized But Americans would most be upset by British impressment (seizing U.S. sailors and drafting them into their navy)

The Indiana Territory Gov. of the Indiana territory, William Henry Harrison was unable to get the Shawnee to sign away their land and leave the territory Tecumseh, leader of the Shawnee tried to create a confederacy to help defend the land from the Americans While gone, his brother Prophet led an attack on the Americans (Nov. 1811)

G. Britain and The Native Americans The Americans burned down the Shawnee capital, but the U.S. suffered many casualties (Battle of Tippecanoe) After the battle, the U.S. found out that the weapons the Shawnee were using were from British in Canada (Still British Territory)

The War Congress declares war in June of 1812 (James Madison now President) Battles took place from Chicago to Detroit, up to Montreal and down to Baltimore and Washington D.C. It was a back and forth war, with victories on both sides The British burned the capitol and the White House We got the “Star Spangled Banner”

Treaty of Ghent Treaty was signed on Christmas Eve of 1814 Declared an end to fighting, but did not address significant issues b/w the two countries; it was basically a tie, but it saved the U.S. from a second round of British rule Many of the issues would be resolved in the coming years

Industrial Revolution The first large factories in the U.S. are built in the north Factories using power-driven machines begin to replace hand tools and small artisans The first large and efficient factory can mass-produce textiles by 1813 By the 1820s Lowell, MA becomes a booming manufacturing center

King Cotton There are still farmers in the north, but they grow corn and raise cattle; they do not need much labor to profit Cotton is a very lucrative cash crop for southern plantations, so they have no incentive to industrialize With cotton in high demand in G. Britain and in the north, and with the invention of the cotton gin, plantations increase and get bigger So, what is the effect of this??

Slavery While slavery dies out in the north, it grows in the south By the time of Jefferson’s presidency most northern states had abolished slavery; some states never even allowed slavery From cotton production rose from 3,000 bales per year to 178,000 bales per year And in the same time the # of slaves rose from 700,000 to 1.2 million
