8 Key Election 1800 Adams V Jefferson Round 2
Adams VERY unpopular! Adams angered many Federalists when he sought a peaceful solution to the undeclared naval war with France. Federalists such as Alexander Hamilton wanted a harsh policy toward France, including declaring war. First, when the United States made peace with France, the Jeffersonian Republicans’ support for France became less of a rallying point for the Federalists. Jefferson did not win a majority in the electoral college. He tied with his vice presidential running mate, Aaron Burr. Big Old Mess…The House of Reps. voted to choose the President. Voting was deadlocked until the House elected Jefferson on its 36th ballot. Hamilton Threw support to Jefferson, because he hated Burr more.
