3. Republican Agrarianism
Thomas Jefferson emerged as a strong president with strong party backing.
Jefferson’s ideal was an agrarian republic of roughly equal yeoman farmers. America’s abundant land allowed Jefferson to envision a nation of small family farms.

4. Tall, ungainly, and diffident in manner, Thomas Jefferson was nonetheless a man of genius: an architect, naturalist, philosopher and politician. His political philosophy, republican agrarianism, is illustrated by this symbol of the Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agriculture, in which the farmer exemplifies Jefferson’s hopes for America. As he said, “those who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God.” .

6. An Independent Judiciary
While removing Federalist officeholders, Jefferson provoked a landmark Supreme Court decision.
Marbury v. Madison did not restore William Marbury to his post, but it established the principle of judicial review and an independent judiciary.

7. Opportunity: The Louisiana Purchase
Map: Louisiana Purchase
The conflict between France and Britain threatened American security.
Napoleon’s acquisition of the Louisiana Territory threatened American access to the Mississippi River.
Jefferson attempted to buy New Orleans, but accepted the French offer to buy the entire territory.
The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States, fulfilling Jefferson’s desire for continued expansion.

8. MAP 9.2 Louisiana Purchase The Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the largest peaceful acquisition of territory in U.S. history, more than doubled the size of the nation. The Lewis and Clark expedition (1804–06) was the first to survey and document the natural and human richness of the area. The American sense of expansiveness and continental destiny owes more to the extraordinary opportunity provided by the Louisiana Purchase than to other factors.

9. Incorporating Louisiana
The immediate issue was how to incorporate the French and Spanish inhabitants of the Louisiana territory.
The solution was to maintain aspects of French institutions in Louisiana.

led to widespread smuggling.

17. Jefferson’s Presidency in short
Jefferson wanted a country of small, independent farmers
Jefferson doubled the size of the United States with the Louisiana Purchase
Jefferson passed the Embargo Act of 1807 in order to stop the British from seizing our sailors on the sea

19. A Contradictory Indian Policy
Indian affairs remained among the most difficult foreign problems.
Western tribes resisted American incursion into their territory.
Jefferson hoped that Indians would either be converted to white civilization or moved across the Mississippi River. Neither policy won much Indian support.

20. Indian Resistance
The Shawnee emerged as the leading force of Indian resistance in the Ohio Valley. Tecumseh sought refuge further west.
His brother, Tenskwatawa, The Prophet, called for a rejection of white ways.
Tecumseh formed a pan-Indian confederacy and was initially defensive but soon advocated military resistance.
While Tecumseh was in the South, a American army defeated Tenskwatawa’s followers at Tippecanoe.
In response, Tecumseh formally allied with the British.
