|
Definition
Act of Congress that created a system for how an unorganized territory becomes a territory and how a territory becomes a state
When population in an area becomes 5000 - could form a territorial legislature and then that area would become from unorganized to organized territory
When population hit 60,000 at that point organized territory could call for a convention and at the convention write a state constitution, and apply for statehood into the United States
Unprecedented. Unheard of. Not what had been done in the past.
Second thing that was huge besides being a blueprint, had language in it that affected slavery. Slavery would be forbidden in the Northwest Territory
-trying to live up to the Declaration of Independence

-arrive in Annapolis Maryland. invited all states. You need errbody yes? yes. Only FIVE STATES SHOW UP. WTF
The Annapolis Convention was a meeting in 1786 at Annapolis, Maryland, of 12 delegates from five states (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia) that unanimously called for a constitutional convention. The formal title of the meeting was a Meeting of Commissioners to Remedy Defects of the Federal Government. Long dissatisfied with the weak Articles of Confederation, Alexander Hamilton of New York played a major leadership role. He drafted its resolution for a constitutional convention, and in doing so brought his longtime desire to have a more powerful, more financially independent federal government one step closer to reality.[1]
The defects that they were to remedy were those barriers that limited trade or commerce between the largely independent states under the Articles of Confederation.[2] |

Right after election of 1800, Jefferson not put into office until March 20th (elected November) John Adams "we're about to lose the executive and legislative branch" John Adams pushes Judiciary Act of 1801. This built onto the previous Judiciary Act (1789?) These courts need judges. So President appoints them (John Adams) Appoints Federalist Judges.
Chief Justice John Marshall (appointed by Adams) He is a staunch Federalist. Another judge that Adams appointed: Justice of Peace William Marbury. Adams would write out a commission, Sec of State to give commission to whomever. All specified in the 1801 J. Act.
Secretary of State for Madison (Jefferson) finds commission fell behind desk from last administration.
Pretend to literally throw it under the rug. Marbury then sues Madison for the commission.
Does Marbury deserve this commission? Appointed by one president, and cannot remove him until dies or gets removed from the bench.
Does Marbury have any legal means to obtain this commission?
In the end, Marbury does not get commission. Cannot force Sec of State to give commission because messes up separation of powers.
Marshall just did? Has given up a tiny little power by just by doing that (ruling Judiciary Act of 1801 unconstitutional) gave courts a HUGE power. Interpret the freaking constitution. |

All territory called Louisiana owned by France til end of War then Spain. When spain controlling this area, make lots of good relations with spain because we wanna use the mississippi river. Everythnings great
in 1800, by way of a secret treaty, spain gave louisian back to france. Why American become worried about this, who's in charge of france in 1800? Napoleon. Napoleon wanted to sell, but Jefferson is gettin worried. Napoleon is an aggresive mofo. France is now our neighbor. May not have same ideals for peace and the river. Jefferson's worries are founded some. Once Napoleon got LA, had delusions of creating a North American empire.
When in 1802 his army on Haiti, slave population rose up overthrew masters and declared independence. Army pwnd, Dying from disease. In the end Napoleon said oh screw it on NA Empire. Who wants to buy? We do! Jefferson sends diplomat (James Munroe) to Paris with instructions to authority to buy port of New Orleans for 5 million dollars. When he goes to France. Munroe shocked that he wants to sell all dat shit. Can you pass this up? Nope. Jefferson initially hesistant but says bam 15 mil lets get all dat shit. Shifted over to US. BAM.
How big deal?
for 15 mil, roughly 828,000 square miles. 3 cents an acre.
Federalists will criticize him. Where in the Constitution says the LA Purchase was explicitly there?
Deals with political fallout like this: just exchanged land for cash. (what?)
that 15 mil we didnt just give. We borrowed the money on credit from the Bank of London. good for 15 mil because of Hamilton's policies
Why important? 1. What a deal! We doubled the US all for the cost of 15 mil. 2. Great case study. In how a political party acts when they are in power. Not in power? IN POWER PEEPS ARE WRONG |

this election of 1800 is important because lead directly to the 12th amendment to the US constitution. Changed so one election for president, one election for vice president.
first of only two elections to be decided by the House of Representatives
election of 1824 was the other one
Most important = first time thta a political party had just ousted another political party in the United States. When a political party got ousted from power in other countries? Violence/war/bloodshed occurred. No bloodshed here
This election was the first PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER IN AMERICAN HISTORY

Right after election of 1800, Jefferson not put into office until March 20th (elected November) John Adams "we're about to lose the executive and legislative branch" John Adams pushes Judiciary Act of 1801. This built onto the previous Judiciary Act (1789?) These courts need judges. So President appoints them (John Adams) Appoints Federalist Judges.
Chief Justice John Marshall (appointed by Adams) He is a staunch Federalist. Another judge that Adams appointed: Justice of Peace William Marbury. Adams would write out a commission, Sec of State to give commission to whomever. All specified in the 1801 J. Act.
Secretary of State for Madison (Jefferson) finds commission fell behind desk from last administration.
Pretend to literally throw it under the rug. Marbury then sues Madison for the commission.
Does Marbury deserve this commission? Appointed by one president, and cannot remove him until dies or gets removed from the bench.
Does Marbury have any legal means to obtain this commission?
In the end, Marbury does not get commission. Cannot force Sec of State to give commission because messes up separation of powers.
Marshall just did? Has given up a tiny little power by just by doing that (ruling Judiciary Act of 1801 unconstitutional) gave courts a HUGE power. Interpret the freaking constitution. |

All territory called Louisiana owned by France til end of War then Spain. When spain controlling this area, make lots of good relations with spain because we wanna use the mississippi river. Everythnings great
in 1800, by way of a secret treaty, spain gave louisian back to france. Why American become worried about this, who's in charge of france in 1800? Napoleon. Napoleon wanted to sell, but Jefferson is gettin worried. Napoleon is an aggresive mofo. France is now our neighbor. May not have same ideals for peace and the river. Jefferson's worries are founded some. Once Napoleon got LA, had delusions of creating a North American empire.
When in 1802 his army on Haiti, slave population rose up overthrew masters and declared independence. Army pwnd, Dying from disease. In the end Napoleon said oh screw it on NA Empire. Who wants to buy? We do! Jefferson sends diplomat (James Munroe) to Paris with instructions to authority to buy port of New Orleans for 5 million dollars. When he goes to France. Munroe shocked that he wants to sell all dat shit. Can you pass this up? Nope. Jefferson initially hesistant but says bam 15 mil lets get all dat shit. Shifted over to US. BAM.
How big deal?
for 15 mil, roughly 828,000 square miles. 3 cents an acre.
Federalists will criticize him. Where in the Constitution says the LA Purchase was explicitly there?
Deals with political fallout like this: just exchanged land for cash. (what?)
that 15 mil we didnt just give. We borrowed the money on credit from the Bank of London. good for 15 mil because of Hamilton's policies
Why important? 1. What a deal! We doubled the US all for the cost of 15 mil. 2. Great case study. In how a political party acts when they are in power. Not in power? IN POWER PEEPS ARE WRONG |

People in Northeast pretty unhappy with this war. What goes on primarily in Northeast? Commerce and stuff. So no Britain trade? Yuck. Federalists are thus also unhappy with the NEasteners. Americans now begin to listen to the Federalists "Maybe they're right"
Hold a convention in Hartford Ct. Come up with a TON of amendments for Constitution, to implement Madison and Jefferson policies. To prevent Republican party to keep doing whta they're doing. Initially Amreicans are like Sure! But then, rumors start up from this convention that speak of SECESSION of Northeast secede to resume trade and stuff with Britain. After the war, since we thought we won, Federalists seen as traitors. Leave union and join British?? At the end of the war viewed the Federalists as traitors
Significant: Amreicans change their attitude towards Federalist party as traitors, as a result of the Hartford convention, this led to the DEATH of the Federalist party at the NATIONAL level. |

| US Disadvantages for War of 1812 |

Definition
Bank of the United States? bank was only CHARTERED for 20 years. After that 20, rechartered by congress, or DIE. Well here, past 1791 20 years. its 1811. Madison did not like it, so let it die. Disadvantage because you need money for army, supplies, militias, etc. NO BANK! the single BIGGEST advantage we had in this war. Woefully illprepared because of this for the war. With giant bank gone no giant loans can be made for military purchases.
This war went AWFULLY for the United States
The only reason we werent completely pwned cuz Britain preoccupied. Canada also pwnd us
In 1813 war between France and Great Britain ended. Could focus entirely on us. Come up with a grand strategy. ( dont need to know the grand strategy) |

| US Advantages for War of 1812 |
|
Definition
British is already occupied with France struggle. HUGE Advantage for us. Cannot bring full hammer of British force upon us. So they have to divide their forces.
Operating war on own turf? Much easier.
Put up with more since you're protecting your home turf than someone who is not.
Another advantage: concerns a warhawk goal: Always wanted to seize Canada. An advantage: In the case if (when?) we DO want to invade Canada, we have more people than Canada. We can create a bigger army than the Canadians.
Last Advantage: our small navy. What they lacked in numbers, we were extremely efficient (really good captains but small ships) In this war against the Great British fleet, we did pretty darn well. |

West= aka Northwest Territories. Battle with Native Americans for their land. Blamed British for riling up Native Americans against us. How US gov handled? Sends the army out commanded by William Henry Harrison (future president. huh, what launches his career...THIS!). Native American War leader in opposition? Tecumseh. Legendary Indian who was very capable of uniting multiple tribes together. So basically pretty formidable oppostition. Harrison sets up meeting with Tecumseh. to meet at a log cabin. Harrison got there first. Rather than sit across, sat next to, unless fell over. Youre crowding me! "That's what you're doing to me."
Both forces meet at Tippecanoe. Fought it out at Tippecanoe. Over pretty quickly. Harrison PWND the Native Americans. Tecumseh's army was SMASHED. Retreated to Canada. Because of that, Americans thought even more that British were behind all this.
Enormous pressure for Madison to do something. |

Chesapeake didn't fight back, because not ready for combat. Chesapeake says fine, you can board. They take 5 sailors off the USS Chesapeake. 4 of them were in fact British citizens (we now know).
