Post-War America

The weakness of the Articles The Articles of Confederation gave most of the power to the states People only thought of themselves as citizens of their respective states Each state made its own laws, collected its own taxes, and printed its own money!

Shays’ Rebellion Congress had no power to raise money to pay soldiers who had fought in the Revolution Massachusetts farmer Daniel Shays organized a group to fight taxes until they were paid The uprising left eight men dead

Shay’s Rebellion

Northwest Ordinance Brought Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois into the United States as the “Northwest Territory” The plan was for the territories to eventually become states The ordinance also outlawed slavery in this newly gained territory

The Constitutional Convention In Philadelphia, all of the states except Rhode Island sent delegates to meet to change the Articles All 55 were white men who owned property They were a group of lawyers and ex-soldiers How is this group different than the group who started the war (such as the Sons of Liberty)?

The Virginia Plan James Madison’s plan Central government should have three branches: executive, judicial, and legislative The representatives in Congress should be based on population (states with more people would get more say)

The New Jersey Plan All of the states would have equal power Each state gets the same number of delegates

The Great Compromise The House of Representatives will be based on population The Senate will be based on an equal number of representatives

3/5 Compromise With population being a deciding factor, slaves were brought into the debate It was decided that each slave counted as 3/5 of a person Southern states agreed to end the slave trade by 1808 Who really won here?

Answer these questions in your groups What is different about the current group in power as compared to the Sons of Liberty? How did the South gain an advantage with the 3/5 compromise? How could Shay’s Rebellion have been avoided? How were the Articles of Confederation to blame?
