Government and Party Politics
Building the Federal Government
Main Idea: The new government started out with enormous problems, including a large national
debt, a small military, Spain’s efforts to keep trade closed along the Mississippi River, and British
forts still maintained along the Great Lakes. Important tasks for the new republic included
electing a president, and setting up the judiciary and Cabinet.
Hamilton’s Plans Stir Debate
Main Idea: As a Federalist, Hamilton believed that a strong centralized government was
necessary to preserve the Union. However, as he developed plans for paying off the new
nation’s great debts, his plans received fierce and vocation opposition from Antifederalists.
Opposing Hamilton
Main Idea: Opposition to Hamilton’s plans grew steadily in the South, where the states’ income
from agriculture enabled them to pay their share of the country’s debts.
A Two-Party System Emerges
Main Idea: The federal government, headed by Washington and Hamilton, sought to secure its
power and authority. Meanwhile the opposition, led by Madison and Jefferson, grew stronger.

The Struggle Over Foreign Policy
Conflict in the Ohio Valley
Main Idea: From the forts they maintained along the Great Lakes, the British supplied the Miami
Indians and their allies with arms and ammunition. The British hoped to limit American
settlement in the Northwest Territory. This led to violent conflict.
American Relations With Europe
Main Idea: While the British were helping Native Americans take a stand against the
United States, Americans became embroiled in the first major foreign policy event of its short
history: the French Revolution.
The Parties Debate Foreign Policy
Main Idea: The Federalists and Antifederalists conflicted over many issues concerning
government power. A crisis in France briefly united the nation, but the Alien and Sedition Acts
and the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions soon revealed the party divisions once again.
The Election of 1800
Main Idea: Complications in the election of 1800 forced the House of Representatives to choose
between Jefferson and Aaron Burr. Burr had been Jefferson’s running mate, and both men won
73 electoral votes. To avoid another electoral crisis, in 1804 the Constitution was amended to
require electors to vote separately for President and Vice President.

The Age of Jefferson
Pursuing Republican Principles
Main Idea: Jefferson and his administration set out to do things quite differently from their
Federalist predecessors. Jefferson cut taxes but succeeded at lowering the national debt by
streamlining government bureaucracy.
John Marshall’s Supreme Court
Main Idea: John Marshall, a Federalist, became the Chief Justice of the United States in 1801.
His four-part legacy and his participation in over 1,000 court decisions made a tremendous
impact on the nation’s history.
The Nation Expands
Main Idea: Jefferson insisted that farm ownership was essential to the freedom of white
Americans. Yet, without expansion there would not be enough farms for the rapidly growing
population. As a result, Jefferson set his sights on expanding the U.S. to the Pacific.
Jefferson’s Foreign Troubles
Main Idea: While Jefferson succeeded in his plans to expand to the west, he faced significant
challenges to solidifying the position of the United States as an international power.

The War of 1812
Gearing Up for War
Main Idea: Democratic Republicans felt humiliated by the failure of the 1807 embargo against
Britain. With persistent British abuses on the oceans, and stepped-up Native American
resistance in the West, Americans increasingly blamed the British for their problems.
War Breaks Out
Main Idea: President Madison urged Congress to declare war on Britain in June of 1812.
Disunited, unprepared, and with only a small army and navy, the United States went to war
once again with the world’s greatest power.
War’s Aftermath and Effects
Main Idea: After the War of 1812 and Jackson’s victory in New Orleans, Americans
experienced a surge of nationalism and a new confidence in the strength of their republic. By
weathering a difficult war, the nation seemed certain to endure.
