THOMAS JEFFERSON: Takes notes from the slides Copy the text in red.
WHAT IS THE NORTHWEST TERRITORY? • Northwest Territory- a designated area of land that includes the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and parts of Minnesota. • (JUST TAKE A PICTURE OF THE MAP)
U. S. AFTER TREATY OF PARIS (1783) • The American Revolution is over! Great Britain has ceded (or given up) all lands extending to the Mississippi River. – The million dollar question in Congress is: WHAT TO DO WITH ALL OF THE LAND? ? ? • Many of the original thirteen states began making claims in the newly won territory extending to the Mississippi River. • Which states made western land claims? • What problem does this pose for the future of the United States government under the Articles of Confederation?
A SOLUTION FOR THE TIME • Thomas Jefferson wants to see the land become new, separate states (where slavery will not exist after 1800). • Congress meets and passes… • Land Ordinance of 1785 - a law that established the Northwest Territory and formed a political system for the region; land would be sold at public auction.
WHAT PROBLEM DID THE NORTHWEST ORDINANCE SOLVE? • Since Congress could NOT tax the citizens, selling land at a public auction would help to benefit the new U. S. government and solve the greatest problem… DEBT!!!!!
“NOT WORTH A CONTINENTAL” • The United States government was unable to pay most veterans of the American Revolution. • The value of Continental bank notes had dropped substantially. • To repay the veterans, Congress offered them land in the Northwest Territory.
THE NORTHWEST ORDINANCE LAND ORDINANCE of 1785: Congress’s plan to sell the land of the Northwest Territory. Rectangular Survey System – carefully surveyed the land into squares to be sold.
THE CATCH… • There is always a catch it seems. In this situation, the public auctions were ONLY available to citizens who could purchase an entire section of 640 acres initially. • Therefore, all bidding BEGAN at $640 ($1 per acre). • Land speculators who made a bid and won a section could sell individual, smaller portions of it AFTER the initial auction and make a profit. • A least four sections were reserved for American Revolutionary War Veterans • The sale from one section of that township was used to fund a school.
THE NORTHWEST ORDINANCE 1787 • Northwest Ordinance of 1787 - a law that established the Northwest Territory and formed a political system for the region. – When the territory reaches 5, 000 free, adult males they can elect a state legislature. – When the territory reaches 60, 000 they can draft a state constitution and apply to Congress to become a state.
NORTHWEST ORDINANCE MAP REVIEW • Students will complete a map study (DRAWING) and write a summary that describes the Northwest Ordinance. The following must be included in the summary to receive full credit: – Thomas Jefferson’s role in Northwest Ordinance – The “problem” that it solved – Rules for establishing territories and statehood – Provisions for education
LOUISIANA PURCHASE VIDEO
LOUISIANA PURCHASE MAP
LOUISIANA PURCHASE SUMMARY • Thomas Jefferson was the 3 rd US President. He served as president from 1801 -1809. It was a time of exploration and trade. Fulton's Steamboat made its first trip on the Hudson River. Louis and Clark left on a voyage of exploration from St Louis toward the Pacific Ocean.
LOUISIANA PURCHASE SUMMARY • At this time in history, France owned the port of New Orleans. Napoleon decided to block the US from using the French port. He knew the United States needed access to a big port for shipping and trade. And Napoleon needed money. England France were at war. Napoleon needed a big chunk of money fast to fight the war.
LOUISIANA PURCHASE SUMMARY • As Napoleon expected, President Jefferson sent a representative to France to attempt to buy a piece of New Orleans. Instead, the United States government was able to buy much more land than they had expected, and for very little money per acre. • In 1803, the United States bought 500, 000 acres of land at approximately 3 cents an acre! That piece of land was known as the Louisiana Purchase. The land purchased included the entire city of New Orleans.
LOUISIANA PURCHASE SUMMARY • With this one purchase, Napoleon gained the money he needed to fight a war with England, and the United States gained enough land to double in size. Even today, the Louisiana Purchase (in 1803) still ranks as one of the best real estate deals in history.
