1. QUIZ TIME GET A RESPONDER

2. The Jeffersonian Republic 1800 - 1812

3. The “Revolution” of 1800
Adams was on his way out, but he caused much turmoil before he left office
Federalists need to pay for a new navy
Created a House Tax 1798 – tax on all homes by size and windows
1799 –
Fries’s Rebellion (Hot Water Rebellion)
Argued tax was not in proportion to population

4. Unfortunately it loses them public support
Hamilton, a Federalist, penned a tirade against Adams
• Jefferson's political machine attacked Adams from all angles
The Election:
Each elector can vote for 2 candidates
The Vice President was the person who received the second most votes
But…
Jefferson and his running mate Aaron Burr each received 73 electoral votes resulting in a tie!

5. Hamilton throws his support behind Jefferson (He hated Burr more!!)
the House had to decide a tie in the electoral college
(this was changed by the 12th Amendment: Each elect.college member voted for President and Vice President separately)
This allows Jefferson to become President….
And ultimately to Hamilton’s death by the hand of Aaron Burr in a duel!

-Furthers Sectionalism
Non-Intercourse Act 1809 repeals this!
Snapping Turtle=Embargo Act
-stepping on trade agreements
biting US Merchants so they don’t trade with England

16. Unexpected Consequences:
N. Eng. was forced to become self-sufficient again [old factories reopened].
Laid the groundwork for US industrial power.
Jefferson, a critic of an industrial America, ironically contributed to Hamilton’s view of the US!!!

17. James Madison (1808 – 1816)
Defers much power to others = The War hawks – desire for war against old enemies (England & France)

Reading an Election Map: Reading an election map carefully yields additional information about voting patterns and political alignments. Using the map of the Presidential Election of 1800 (p. 226), answer the following questions.
1. How many electoral votes did Adams get from the five New England states?
2. Which was the only state north of Virginia that went completely for Jefferson?
3. How many electoral votes were there in the three states that divided between Adams and Jefferson?
4. The text records the final electoral vote as 73 for Jefferson to 65 for Adams and notes that Jefferson carried New York only by a very slender margin. If Adams had carried New York, what would the electoral result have been?
