The election of 1800 was one of the most bitter, contentious, and fiercely partisan presidential elections in US history.

8. Jefferson's presidency and the turn of the nineteenth century
Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States. He served two terms in office, from 1801 to 1809.
Jefferson dealt with two major challenges to US authority: piracy along the Barbary Coast of North Africa, and British impressment, which resulted in Jefferson instating a mass embargo of European goods, the Embargo Act of 1807.
Jefferson authorized the Louisiana Purchase, which effectively doubled the territory of the United States.

Unit 3: Age of Jefferson ( )

10. The War of 1812
The War of 1812, which lasted from June 18, 1812 to February 18, 1815, was fought over issues that continued to plague relations between the United States and Britain after the Revolutionary War, like impressment of American sailors and trade restrictions on American shipping.
Though many American grievances were resolved during the course of the war, the Treaty of Ghent, which formally ended the War of 1812, involved no significant change in pre-war borders or boundaries.
For Native Americans who had allied with the British, the war devastated their physical land and political autonomy.
