replaced another in power in the United States. It also is significant because of the
problems with the voting system led Congress to propose the Twelfth Amendment, which
a separate ballot for President and Vice President.

line related?

were elected officials, and can bring down officials.
What he really did was just make sure no random person can crown himself King/Ruler,
Because people have more power then the Government.
Analyzing time lines:
How do each of the events for 1803 conflict with Jeffersons principles?
The constitution did not mention the purchase of foreign lands.
Making comparisons:
How was the enforcement of the Embargo Act of 1807 like the supression of the Whiskey
Rebellion?
The enforcement of the Embargo Act of 1807 was like the suppression of the whiskey
rebellion in 1794 because it was American laws restricting American ships from engaging
in foreign trade 1807 and 1812. They led to the War of 1812.

Dear Mr. Jefferson,
The Embargo Act has went into effect and it is causing a total upheaval in our business.

Battle of Tippecanoe: Battle in the Indian territory in 1811 between U.S and Native
American forces that led to the defeat for the Native American
Summarizing the Main Idea:
How did the paths proposed by Handsome Lake and Tenskwatawa differ?
The major difference between the paths taken by these two men was in the attitudes that
they took with regard to white people.
Both of these men emphasized the need for Native Americans to return to their old ways.
Both preached against things like alcohol and sexual misconduct. However, the two men
differed with respect to their views on whites. Tenskwatawa thought that Indians should
reject all white ways and even helped to promote violent conflict between Native
Americans and whites. By contrast, Handsome Lake promoted something of a synthesis
of Native American and Christian ideas and did not advocate any sort of violence against
whites.
Analyzing time lines:
What was the significance of the Battle of Tippecanoe?
The Battle of Tippecanoe destroyed the hopes of a large Indian Confederacy. When the
American soldiers saw that the Indians had British weapons, they knew the British were
helping them resist the Americans. This caused even more hatred towards the British than
there had been before. This would ultimately serve as a catalyst for the War of 1812,
which would take place less than a year after.
Making comparisons:
How did Native American and European American Ideas about land ownership differ?
Basically, Native Americans viewed land as something that was to be used communally
by all the members of a tribe. There was no idea among the Indians that land was
something to be divided up, sold, and owned by individuals. While on the other hand
Europeans believed in Land ownership and land dividing for individuals.
Writing an Expository Essay:

European Americans believed that land should be owned, sold, and divided. While on the
other hand Native Americans thought land could be used by all and not owned. This
difference in ideas caused major conflicts between European Americans and Native
Americans. Clashes and wars were a result of this.

War of 1812: War between the United States and Britain

widespread unemployment, and falling prices and wages
Missouri Compromise: 1820 agreement calling for the admission of Missouri as a slave
state and Mine as a free state, and outlawing slavery in future states to be created north of
36 30 N latitude.
Summarizing the Main idea:
Describe how the War of 1812 ended.
To the British, the War of 1812 was a hinderance that it could have done without. There
was never any serious plans to invade the US and re-take it. The main objective for
Britain was to force the US to negotiate a peace treaty.
When that treaty was negotiated, it was agreed that the borders of the US and Canada
should return to their pre war state. Hence it was Britain who gave the US it's land back.
Analyzing time lines:
Review the time line at the start of the section. How does the time line reveal that the
Americans faced two enemies during War of 1812?
Both New Orleans and Missouri are on the time line.
Predicting Consequences:

What issue was left unresolved by the Missouri Compromise?

The extension of slavery.
Writing a Persuasive Essay:
Dear Congress,
War is not a positive alternative. The United States should stay out of war. It is costly and
many lives will be lost. Revert to a non-violent approach and cease the thought of war. If
Britain decides to go to war. Then shall be it. If they do not start the war, The United
States should not start it either.

1. How was Alexander Hamilton able to change the national debt from a weakness to a
strength?

default. His policy of reorganizing the debt and insuring economic expansion made it
possible to honor the debt, and establish the nation's credit on a sound basis.

The reason for this is that is that the government was trying to send a message. they were
trying to say (and Washington may or may not have actually said this) that just because
there was a law that you don't like, you can't rebel, and this was especially important
because it was soon after the Revolutionary War, and we just defeated England, and
though morales were high, the army/navy were very weak. Washington personally led the
2,000 some troops to dissuade the rebels from the notion of, well, rebelling.
3. Summarize the views of Federalists and Jeffersonian Republicans in the 1790's.
