1. The Importance of Unity, and The Danger of Sectionalism 2. The Authority of the Constitution, the Threat of Political Factions, and the Danger of Constitutional Amendments Designed to Weaken the Government

3. The Dangers of Political Parties 4. The Importance of the Constitution's System of Checks and Balances, Separation of Powers, and Constitutional Amendments

Remember Washington’s Words • “The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible…. It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; … Taking care always to keep ourselves by suitable establishments on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies. ”

Alien Sedition Acts 1798 Four separate laws constituted what is commonly referred to as the "Alien and Sedition Acts“ 1. 2. 3. 4. The Naturalization Act -Extended the duration of residence required for aliens to become citizens of the United States from five years to fourteen years. The Alien Act - Authorized the president to deport any resident alien considered "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States. " It was activated June 25, 1798, with a two year expiration date. The Alien Enemies Act -Authorized the president to apprehend and deport resident aliens if their home countries were at war with the United States of America. Enacted July 6, 1798, and providing no sunset provision, the act remains intact today. At the time, war was considered likely between the U. S. and France. The Sedition Act - Made it a crime to publish "false, scandalous, and malicious writing" against the government or its officials. It was enacted July 14, 1798, with an expiration date of March 3, 1801 (the day before Adams' presidential term was to end).

STOP AND THINK • Who do these Acts give A LOT OF POWER?

Who Are These 2 Parties? Federalist Republicans (aka Democratic- Republicans) • Alexander Hamilton • Thomas Jefferson and James Madison • Believed in STRONG central government • Believed in SMALL central government • IMPLIED POWERS • ENUMERATED POWERS

Nationalism, Federalism, and Sectionalism • Nationalism= • Federalism= • Sectionalism=

America’s First Test as a New Country • Britain and France go to war in 1803. They attack American ships because neither side wants the other to be helped by American trade This deepens the divide between the Federalists and Republicans

STOP AND THINK… why would this deepen the divide between the Federalists and Republicans?

War of 1812 • Fought between America and Great Britain • Fought in Canada, and America • Fought on Land at Sea! • America… Wins! • Peace Treaty of Ghent

Leading Up to the War of the 1812 • Embargo Act of 1807 Congress passes the act which prohibits trade with ANY foreign country. • The Act does not hurt Britain or France; just New England merchants. • Britain and France keep attacking ships.

Leading Up to the War of the 1812 • Congress repeals the Embargo Act of 1809 and passes a new law, which promises that the U. S. will trade with the first country to stop violating American neutrality. • France stops, America begins trade… England gets mad!!

Causes • Trade restrictions • Imprisonment of US soldiers by British Ships • Angriness regarding America trading with France • Supplying Native Americans with Weapons Effects • American settlers on the frontier were safer from Indian attack • American industry grew as Americans were forced to make goods they used to get from Britain • Trade increased • America proved it was able to protect itself.

Monroe Doctrine 1823 • Neutrality= ___________________ • Monroe Doctrine: issued in 1823, telling the world to leave the US and the entire Western hemisphere alone

But in a Growing World, Is Neutrality Possible?

The Industrial Revolution in America

Technology • In the period between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, the United States grew in the areas of industry and technology. • Can you think of an examples of technology that we use in the United States now? – Think of as many modern examples of technology as you can…

STOP AND THINK

The Industrial Revolution • The growth in technology in the 1800’s was know as the Industrial Revolution.

• The Industrial Revolution was a sudden radical change in the way goods were produced, farm products were grown, and people and goods were transported.

• There were a number of important developments in America during the Industrial Revolution.

The Cotton Gin • Made in 1794 by Eli Whitney, the Cotton Gin separated seeds from cotton. • This used to require a lot of work but was helped by the cotton gin.
