Tindall Ch6 Outline The American Revolution 1776: Washington?s Narrow Escape British landed in Staten island on 7/2/1776 with 32,000 men, compared to Washingtons? force of 19,000 defenders. When morale became low, Thomas Paine wrote The American Crisis to boost morale. On Christmas Washington routed a garrison of 1,500 Hessians at Trenton and repelled the redcoats at Princeton three weeks later. Washington realized the only way to win was to pick at the British slowly but surely. American Society at War Many colonists were divided because of the war, Loyalists were treated very harshly. The British were also unable to use Loyalists effectively to their advantage. American militiamen tended to ambush or fight hand-to-hand, not flat out battles.

In his inaugural address, he asked for unity between Republicans and Federalists. Jefferson in Office Jefferson did what he could to appease the Federalists, but sometimes he gave in to pressure from Republicans to remove Federalists in lesser offices. William Marbury was appointed Supreme Court judge by Adams just before Adams left the presidency. Madison and Jefferson could do nothing to stop him but did manage to impeach John Pickering from Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Marshall displayed the power of the Supreme Court and the power of the constitution over the states.

American Pageant 13th edition

Brother's Blood and Border Blood The remaining Border States of the United States were very crucial for both the North and the South, as they could secede at any moment and join the South, thus putting Washington, DC in danger. The Border States have not yet seceded, but they could at any time. If they did, Washing DC (the North's capital) would be completely surrounded my seceded states and could easily be attacked. Lincoln had to act fast to keep these Border States in the North, so he used "dubious" legal methods such as sending troops to Virginia and Missouri to secure these areas. Lincoln assured the Border States that he was only trying to save the union and not free the slaves, as all the border states were slave states. The Balance of Forces
