Summary
In setting up the economy, the bill of rights was added to the constitution and Hamilton
set up an economic ground, setting up land to use for money glow, a national bank, and to
riffs to help money circulate. Jefferson, on the other hand worked to better agrarian
economy through trade with British. The French and Haitian Revolutions divided
America in its ideologies of neutralism or action and slaves or free blacks. All this gave
rise to Political parties, the federalists and the republicans. Relations with Indians grew
slightly better, but Indians still refused to assimilate into American culture. People moved
further westward to gain new land set open to them. The French attempted to take back
their land but ultimately failed as the Americans got the Louisiana Purchase, enter Lewis
and Clark who explored it all. The British team up with the French and Indians to hurt the
Americans. Americans defeat Indians and Britain defeats and takes over French (War of
1812). British were wining due to multiple reasons, but overused their resources and
slowly died off. John Marshall used jurisdiction to outdo multiple Republicans and
finally John Quincy Adams showed Federalist ability through hid negotiations of so many
doctrines.
1) Q: Why did Hamilton believe a national debt would strengthen the United States and
help to ensure its survival?
A: - To enhance public credit by taking over the states' war debts (states were no longer
responsible for paying them). They needed good credit to secure loans from Dutch and
British financiers, which strengthens the U.S.
2) Q: How did Jefferson's idea of an agrarian republic differ from the economic vision
used by Hamilton?
A: - Jefferson's idea of an agrarian republic was a democratic vision of a society of
independent yeomen farm families. Grain and meat from farms would feed European
nations, which lead to manufacturers and sending clothes and other things in exchange.
There was an international division of labor which profited from Europe's struggles.
Hamilton's economic policies/taxes led to a lower demand for corn whiskey the farmers
distilled and bartered for eastern manufacturers, this caused whiskey rebellion.
3) Q: How did events abroad during the 1790s increase political divisions in the United
States?
A: The French revolution split the government into groups of people. This created
discourse about England and France's relationships with the United States. The French
revolution also sparked the Haitian revolution, which increased refugees to the United
States. This split United States politicians into a group that supported slavery and one that
didn't. Foreign policy and immigration led to lots of discourse and with it, disagreement,
two party system.

4) Q: Why was Jeffersons election of 1800 revolutionary?

A: The transfer of power showed that popularly elected governments could be changed in
an orderly way, even in times of conflict. Democracy held power. Though the election led
to rumors of violence, it actually showed that in a truly democratic society, people could
become president because they are the most fit. The people were able to choose the
President that best fit the spot
5) Q: Why did the US go to war with the Western Indians?
A: The new American society wanted to continue expandingto assert sovereignty and
ownership. The United States technically had control over trans-Appalachian west due to
the Treaty of Paris with Britain yet ignored the Native Americans claims to land. White
settlers continued to push westward and dominate Indian territory.
6) Q: Why was Westward migration and agricultural improvement a turning point in the
late 1800s?
A: After the Revolution, Americans gained more autonomy, southern migrantswhite
tenant farmers and yeomen families headed to Tennessee and Kentucky. Planters
controlled their society, wanted more freedom and hoped to prosper by growing cotton
and hemp. Second stream of southern planters and slaves from Carolinas moved along
coastal plain to Gulf of Mexico, Georgia and South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana. Cotton was the reason of this migratory surge, a demand for raw wool and
cotton increased as industrial machinery increased textile production in England. Planters
grew cottons, American inventors built machinery and planters imported more slaves.
7) Q: How did Jerffersons vision show his opinion in his policies in western lands?
A: Jefferson pursued policies that made it easier for farm families to acquire land.
Louisiana Purchase challenges to Napoleon's empire in France allowed Mississippi River
open to western farmers and created a huge opportunity for westward migration.
8) Q: What was the most persuasive part of the USs decisions to declare war on Great
Britain?
A: The main cause for the War of 1812 was that Britain had clearly violated its
commercial rights as a "neutral nation". Britain simply maintained their neutrality and not
encroached upon United State's commercial rights, the war would not have happened.
There would have been nothing to vote on if it wasn't for Britain.
9) Q: Why do the decisions of the Marshall Court constitute a Federalist Legacy?
A: Three principles that informed Marshall's jurisprudence: Judicial authority, Supremacy
of national laws, Traditional property rights. The marshall court came to take dominance
of the national over state statutes in Gibbons v. Ogden. In this case, central government
overpowered that of the state, thus making way for a federalist legacy of sorts (New York
law granted a monopoly to Aaron Ogden for a steamboat passenger service across the
Hudson River to NJ).
10) Q: Why was the War of 1812 so crucial?

A: The War of 1812 was an armed conflict between the United States and the British
Empire. The British restricted the American trade since they feared it was harmful for
their war with France and they also wanted to set up an Indian state in the Midwest in
order to maintain their influence in the region. The British had native Americans and
Canadians on their side, While the Americans objected to the British Empire restricting
their trade and snatching their sailors to serve on British shipsin order to prove their
independence from the British Empire.
11) Q: How was asserting National supremacy achieved?
A: It was achieved by a couple of supreme court cases like the Maryland case where the
back of the United States was declared Constitutional and the states couldnt tax a federal
government agency.
