Chapter 6: Origins of American Politics Section 1: Liberty vs. Order in the 1790’s

Hamilton’s Programs One issue was the large war debt owed to other nation’s & it’s own citizens Hamilton had to come up with a plan to pay off the debt & become economically stable

Used to create a strong central government Government had to expand its role & direct the economy

A Deal with the South Congress approved Hamilton’s plan for the government to assume states’ debt from the war Southern states didn’t want to help pay back northern debt

Deal – South supports the plan & the north would agree to move the capital south – Planned to move the capital to the Potomac River

Assuming State Debts Controversial – Federal government already had a $75 million debt – Why add to it? – This plan strengthen the government People they owed money to didn’t want the government to collapse

Hamilton’s Strategy Outlined a specific budget & set up a regular payment plan Two measures would help raise money to pay off debts – Congress created a tariff in 1789 – tax on distilled liquors (whiskey)

Most of the money raised went to the expenses of the government – Examples- Salaries & to pay creditors a little every year – Government paid the creditors interest on their loans – To handle this, Congress established the Bank of the U.S. in 1791

Hamilton’s Opponents Didn’t like government control or new taxes Thought it was similar to Britain’s rule

Hamilton vs. Jefferson Washington usually sided with Hamilton Jefferson resigned as Secretary of State in 1793 Jefferson favored a strict construction of the Constitution

Hamilton preferred the loose construction – “Necessary & proper”- elastic clause – Jefferson believed Hamilton & the Federalists were betraying the Revolution

Foreign Policy Issues French Revolution- “Liberty, Fraternity, & Equality” Differences to obtain these goals led to the “Reign of Terror” – Executed Louis XIV & Marie Antoinette

Americans Split over the Revolution Federalists tended to oppose it Jefferson’s supporters saw it as an extension of the American Revolution – Applauded its rejection of government by kings & acceptance of republic government

Citizen Genet Arrived at South Carolina in 1793 Mission was to win America’s support for the French Overstepped the bounds of diplomacy- tried to convince private Americans to serve as soldiers & privateers against the British

Eventually Washington asked France to recall him – He would face the guillotine when he got home, so he married a governor’s daughter & became a U.S. citizen

Proclaiming American Neutrality With France & Britain fighting, America didn’t know what side to take Couldn’t afford to offend the British, whose Navy dominated the Oceans, but the French helped us during our Revolution

1793- Washington issued a proclamation of neutrality British began seizing neutral U.S. trading ships headed for the French West Indies British were supporting the Indians in the Northwest Territory

Jay’s Treaty Chief Justice John Jay was sent to London to negotiate an agreement British agreed to leave the forts it occupied in the Northwest Territory Other provisions were aimed at expanding trade

No agreement for the British to stop searching our ships Ratified in 1795

Political Parties Emerge The Whiskey Rebellion – Western PA many refused to pay the tax on whiskey – Crucial to their economy – Could be transported without spoiling – Used as currency

Rebels closed courts & attacked tax collectors Summer Washington sent more than 12,000 men & the rebellion was soon dissolved Demonstrated to American citizens & the world that the government was committed to enforcing its laws

The Election of 1796 John Adams- Federalist candidate for President & Thomas Pinckney for VP Thomas Jefferson & Aaron Burr for the Republicans Adams won 71 to 68

Washington’s Farewell Didn’t believe political parties were good for the nation Called for a foreign policy of neutrality
