| 1757463768 | When did strong American trade begin? | In the 1790s | 8 | |
| 1757463769 | Why did American trade stronger | America was neutral in the wars between France and Britain, so merchants had the legal right to import European goods and promptly reexport them to other European Countries. | 9 | |
| 1757463770 | Jefferson's republican Agrarianism | 1. Only America could provide a government that protected life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. No European government could do that because they didn't fertile American soil and land. (This ideology came from Malthus.) 2. Jefferson wanted a nation of small family farms clustered in rural communities. 3. Jefferson encouraged expansionism. | 10 | |

| 1757463773 | Jefferson concerning Federalists in his Cabinet | Jefferson did not purge Federalist officials, but he did purge the most notorious Federalists, the midnight judges. | 13 | |
| 1757463774 | Midnight Judges | In the last days of the Adams administration, the Federalist-dominated congress passed several acts that created new judgeships, and these positions were filled by people that Adams appointed, who were known later as the Midnight Judges. | 14 | |

| 1757463777 | What the Louisiana purchase did for the Americans | 1. Magnified a sense of manifest destiny 2. Increased the scope of the enslavement and destruction of African American slaves and for Native Americans. | 17 | |
| 1757463778 | Incorporating Louisiana | Louisiana got French civil law instead of English common law. This means family property was communal rather than male owned, inheritance was forced rather than at free disposal, and contracts were more rigid. | 18 | |
| 1757503502 | Texas and the Struggle for Mexican Independence | 1. Spain objected in vain to the sale of Louisiana as it left the northern border of Mexico buffered with only Texas, which was already settled by some Americans 2.

Republicans in Mexico battled with royalists to fight for Mexico's independence from Spain 4. The Republicans were slaughtered, the Mexican population dropped to 2,000, and this failure of independence seemed to offer Americans an offer to expand. | 19 | |
| 1757997203 | Problems with neutral rights | 1. Britain frowned upon American merchants trying to trade with the French and sometimes attacked American vessels. 2. British also practiced impressment and even conversion to an American citizen (naturalization papers). The British did not approve, and would sometimes invade American ships and seize any man they believed to be British, whether they had papers or not. | 20 | |
| 1757997204 | The Embargo Act | December 1807, this forbade American ships from sailing to any foreign port, thereby cutting off all exports and imports. This act was created in order to boycott British involvement in preventing American trade with the French. | 21 | |

| 1757997207 | Post-Jeffersonian attempts to change British treatment of American ships | Non-intercourse act of 180 and Macon's Bill Number 2 of 1810 both unsuccessfully attempted to prohibit trade with Britain and France unless they ceased their hostile treatment of US ships. | 24 | |
| 1757997208 | A Contradictory Indian Policy | 1. Jefferson believed that the Native Americans would cede their lands and learn how to farm 2. Jefferson offered land 3.

| 1757997209 | Tecumseh | Tecumseh, a Shawnee traditionalist with his prophet brother, gave rebirth to the resistance | 26 | |
| 1757997210 | Tecumseh's belief of land ownership | Tecumseh believed in common land, therefore no one group could sign a treaty to give it away as it believed to all Native People | 27 | |

| 1757997212 | PIMR success | Although the English claimed victory against the movement, in reality, the ID killed many pioneers, forced them from their towns, and Tecumseh himself entered into an alliance with the British, establishing his power. For white settlers, the Indian threat was greater than ever. | 29 | |
