American Puritans strove for over 100 years. James threatened to kill all those who refused to conform to the Church of England. Some members of the Church of England wanted to make the Protestant Reformation a part of people?s everyday life and get rid of all evidence of the Catholic Church. These people were called Puritans. In 190__ the Puritans fled to Holland. They didn?t stay very long, only a few years, because they found their kids were growing up Dutch, not English. So, they got a land grant from the Virginia Company of London to come to America. About 100 Puritans (Pilgrims) sailed from Plymouth England on the Mayflower, and dropped anchor in Massachusetts. This was a little off course, they were supposed to land in Virginia.

After freeing the slaves, Lincoln failed to protect their rights, ultimately rendering his emancipation much less beneficial to the slaves than it could have been

Jay?s Treaty On the sea frontier, the British were eager to starve out the French West Indies, and naturally? expected the Americans to defend them.

Washington decided to send Chief Justice John Jay to London in 1794, to prevent war. Jeffersonians? were enraged that such a renowned federalist had been sent, and more so when he arrived back with his treaty.? Hamilton, fearful of war with Britain, secretly supplied the British with the details of America?s bargaining?

During the war, Britain had conquered the French colonies of Canada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Tobago, the French "factories" (trading posts) in India, the slave-trading station at Gor?e, the S?n?gal River and its settlements, and the Spanish colonies of Manila (in the Philippines) and Havana (in Cuba). France had captured Minorca and British trading posts in Sumatra, while Spain had captured the border fortress of Almeida in Portugal, and Colonia del Sacramento in South America. In the treaty, most of these territories were restored to their original owners. Britain however made considerable gains.[3] France and Spain restored all their conquests to Britain and Portugal.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT UNITED STATES HISTORY IDENTIFICATIONS FOR UNIT III "Corrupt Bargain" The charge made by Jacksonians in 1825 that Clay had supported John Quincy Adams in the House presidential vote in return for the office of Secretary of State. Allegedly Clay knew he could not win, so he traded his votes for an office. Tariff of Abominations 1828 - Also called Tariff of 1828, it raised the tariff on imported manufactured goods. The tariff protected the North but harmed the South; South said that the tariff was economically discriminatory and unconstitutional because it violated state's rights. It passed because New England favored high tariffs. Vice-President John Calhoun: South Carolina Exposition and Protest
