Description

Before North Carolina ceded her lands to Congress, the state government reserved jurisdiction over the region till Congress accepted them. This caused settlers in the region some concern over their security which caused settlers to quickly form a government. They then applied to become a state in the union. North Carolina exercised its jurisdiction over the territory which caused a civil war in that region. Congress, not wishing to antogonize North Carolina, didn't intervene in the conflict. The situation resolved itself when no successor was elected to fill the office of the governor of the newly created state and the defeat of the settlers by North Carolina.

Description

The 1783 Treaty of Paris which ended the American Revolution did not completely end the tensions between Great Britain and the new USA. Neither party abided completely by the terms of the treaty, and small conflicts had been ongoing in the American Northwest Territory. Great Britain's war with revolutionary France exacerbated issues, as the US continued trading with France and the Royal Navy began to use force against such activity. Furthermore, the Royal Navy was not especially careful when boarding American ships and impressing Englishmen into the navy - frequently the 'Englishmen' were actually Americans. And trade between the USA and Great Britain had never been normalized after the war, which both parties were eager to do.
Chief Justice John Jay was sent to England to negotiate with His Majesty's Government, and the parties agreed to a treaty which apparently settled all outstanding issues - except that of impressment. Great Britain agreed to withdraw from disputed frontier forts along the New York-Ontario and Michigan-Ontario borders in exchange for the US repaying its old debts, and full trade was established between the two. But the treaty was only valid for ten years, and the subsequent failure to renew it helped lead to the War of 1812.

This made the US the first modern democracy, but it had its price.

Description

The American's love for whisky was boundless. The spirit from Scotland was universally available and universally loved. It was an informal currency, a means of livelihood, and an enlivener of a harsh existence. Everyone, or almost everyone, made whiskey, and the federal government saw it as a golden calf. To create a self-supporting and effective government, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton proposed, and Congress instituted in 1791, an excise tax on whiskey produced in the United States. The introduction of the tax was accompanied by a great deal of resistance, which was particularly noticeable in Western Pennsylvania. Many farmers were unhappy that the larger the whiskey production, the greater the tax breaks. That is, they had an advantage over poor farmers.

In July of 1794, a force of 400 disaffected whiskey rebels, mainly from Washington County, attacked and destroyed the home of a tax inspector just south of Pittsburgh. The rebellion grew in numbers, if not in actions, and threatened to spread to other states. Hamilton advocated using military force

Actions

A. President George Washington instead put state militia on the ready and sent in negotiators. When talks proved fruitless, Washington acquiesced to Hamilton's view and led a force of 13,000 troops, more than he had commanded during the Revolutionary War, into Western Pennsylvania, to Bedford. Washington returned to Philadelphia while Hamilton and Virginia Governer Henry Lee continued the march to the Monongahela River. By the time the federal force arrived, the rebellion had collapsed, and most rebels had fled. The federal government passed the first test of rebellion."

Description

John Jay's treaty with Great Britain raised concerns among the French that the US might join Britain in the ongoing French Revolutionary Wars. The French Navy began stopping American ships in an effort to impede Anglo-American trade, which was not taken well by the US. Three American diplomats (Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, John Marshall, and Elbridge Gerry) traveled to Paris in an effort to replicate Jay's success. When they arrived, they found that the French foreign minister, Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, expected all foreign diplomats to pay bribes for the privilege of a meeting. A succession of semi-official members of Talleyrand's circle (later pseudonymed as W, X, Y, and Z in the official dispatches) met with the Americans to ask for money. Pinckney refused to give Talleyrand even a sixpence... but perhaps bribery could be justified to prevent war?

Campaign and the Issues, 1796: Federalist flocked under the banner of John Adams, who vowed to reinforce Washington's Strong Government. Jefferson and the Anti-Federalists opposed the growing government and rode the wave of popular fears of insidious royalism. Adams supporters retaliated by condemning the French Revolution as Monocracy, the former cherished by the Anti-Federalists. The Anti-Federalists on the other hand still viewed England as the principal enemy and said that Adams was going to pay lip service to Her Majesty's Government. Washington's support and the New Englanders effort to stop Alexander Hamilton from sabotaging Adams campaign gave Adams a marginal electoral victory, 71-68. How will the Spirit of America choose this time?

Description

The XYZ affair of 1797 galvanized the American public into general support of military action against France. President Adams appointed Benjamin Stoddert to the newly-created post of Secretary of the Navy in 1798 and charged him with the protection of American merchants against the French Navy and French privateers. No war was declared, but Congress authorized Stoddert's navy to use force if necessary. Six frigates were built and launched, and the new U.S. Navy began operations by late summer of 1798. Over the next two years, American and French vessels fought a series of skirmishes ranging in location from the Caribbean up as far north as New Jersey waters. In September 1800, the US and Napoleon's French government signed the Convention of 1800 which affirmed American neutrality and secured safety for American merchants from the French Navy, ending the Quasi-War.

Description

In July 1798 President Adams approved legislation levying federal taxes on property. This had consequences. The most obvious was the Fries Rebellion of 1799, a group of armed Pennsylvanians resisted tax assessors and collectors. But it also created a great debate of the limits of power of government that never ended, but continues up to this day and beyond. However, depending on the political position of the President and the representatives in Congress a different legislation package could have been approved. How will we choose?

Description

Piracy had been a fact of Mediterranean life for as long as there had been merchant ships on the sea. By the late 1700s, most pirates were Berbers operating from Morocco and the Ottoman client states along the North African coast: Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. American ships during the Revolution were at first protected by the French Navy, but after the war, protection was withdrawn and Americans were subject to the same piracy as Europeans. A notable exception was Morocco, which was the first nation to recognize the USA as an independent nation and later signed the Moroccan-American Treaty of Friendship in 1786 guaranteeing safe passage. But other Barbary Coast entities offered no such protection except at the cost of large sums of tribute money. At first the Americans accepted the terms, but the election of President Thomas Jefferson changed the political equation. Jefferson believed that piracy could be ended only with force. After his inauguration in 1801, he refused to continue payments, and the pasha of Tripoli declared war that May. Jefferson sent the navy to patrol the coast, and there were a number of sea skirmishes over the next two years. In 1803 Tripoli captured the USS Philadelphia, which had run aground in the harbor, and turned it into a floating battery. But in February 1804, Captain Stephen Decatur led a detachment of U.S. Marines in a daring raid to board and burn the Philadelpha. In 1805 the only land battle of the war was fought: the capturing of the coastal city of Derna by Marines with mercenary reinforcements. This effectively ended the war, and these two engagements are still memorialized in the first line of the US Marine Hymn.

Action C of 4999 - First Barbary War for United States

Description

The First Barbary War of 1801-1805 had not completely ended Barbary piracy of American merchant vessels, but the threat of war with Great Britain prevented anything more being done about it. But after the Treaty of Ghent, it was time once again to focus on the problem. President James Madison asked for and received power from Congress to send a naval expedition against Algiers in March 1815. Commodore Stephen Decatur - the hero of the First Barbary War - was chosen to lead the squadron. The Second Barbary War lasted only as long as it took Decatur to sail to Algiers, as he encountered and captured the Algerian flagship 'Meshouda' on the way. This was the last time American military action was needed against Barbary pirates, as the European powers, no longer at war with each other post-Napoleon, were now free to sweep the seas themselves.

Description

Campaign and the Issues, 1800: The Federalists urged voters to choose God-and a religious President (Adams) over Jefferson…and no God. Initially the Federalists monopolized the media thanks to the Sedition Act that outlawed most opposition as treason. Though this Act was also the rallying point of the Anti-Federalists, or the Republicans, as they were now called as James Madison had written the controversial Virginia and Kentucky Resolution in 1798-1799 which declared the Sedition Act unconstitutional. At a late stage the majority in New York changed and the new electoral votes changed the balance into the favor of Jefferson. However as the nominally vice presidential candidate Aaron Burr got the same number of electoral votes as the Jefferson, Burr later forced the issue to a vote in the House which was eventually won by Jefferson. The Electoral Votes: Jefferson 73, Burr 73, Adams 65. How will the Spirit of America choose this time?

Description

Even before the Louisiana Purchase, President Jefferson had believed that it was beneficial to send an expedition to the Pacific Northwest to chart the interior of the continent and hopefully discover a water route from coast to coast. Congress approved such an expedition in March 1803, just before the Louisiana Purchase was completed in April. Captain Meriwether Lewis, a skilled naturalist and experienced frontiersman, was chosen to lead the expedition, and Lewis appointed his good friend Lt. William Clark as his co-leader. Lewis and Clark and their 40-man Corps of Discovery set out on May 14, 1804, from St. Louis, Missouri. They followed the Missouri River through what is now Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota, where they built Fort Mandan and camped for the winter of 1804-1805. While in Mandan lands, they hired French fur trader Toussant Charbonneau and his 16-year-old Shoshone wife Sacagawea as interpreters. The expedition continued westward in spring through present-day Montana to the source of the Missouri River, where they encountered Sacagawea's Shoshone tribe and were welcomed by the new chief, Sacagawea's brother Cameahwait. Further west, the corps nearly became snowbound in the Rocky Mountains in September, but were saved by the Nez Perce tribe. The expedition then followed the Columbia River through Idaho, Washington, and Oregon to the Pacific Ocean, which they reached on November 15, 1805. They returned to St. Louis in 1806 by nearly the same route they had followed on their outward journey. Lewis and Clark's success formed the basis of future American claims of the Oregon territory.

Campaign and the Issues, 1804: President Jefferson handily checked a feeble challenge from the dying Federalist Party. The Party had been severely damaged by a radical group within called the Essex Junta, which had tried in vain to enlist some eastern seaboard states to secede from the union forming a New England Confederacy free of Jeffersonian Democracy. Among the elites of the country many still supported the Federalists and Pinckney, but the masses were discouraged by the behavior of the Junta. The Biggest Issue was the Louisiana Purchase as Federalists feared that more immigrants (Jefferson-supporters that is) would break the balance of power at the expense of the Federalists. Thus Jefferson made significant inroads in once solidly Federalist New England and victory was his. Electoral Votes: Jefferson 162, Pinckney 14. How will the Spirit of America choose this time?

Campaign and the Issues, 1808: As Thomas Jefferson retired he endorsed James Madison as his successor. Madison was only vulnerable to one issue - The Embargo. As Secretary of State he had been handled the Embargo which was both retaliation against French and British disrespect and a policy of Protectionism. The Embargo was very unpopular in both camps, thus the Federalists once again revitalized under Charles Pinckney and Free-Trade Republicans threatened to support the republican vice presidential candidate George Clinton. The Free-Trade threat never materialized and although Pinckney did well he could not compete with the popularity of former President Jefferson. Jefferson was instrumental in urging fellows and foes alike to stand behind Madison and thus securing his victory. Electoral Vote: Madison 122, Pinckney 47, Clinton 6.

During the years up to the War of 1812 the English had never respected the independence of the United States de facto. England disrespected US neutral rights at sea and impressed American seamen and confiscated the goods of her ships at sea. She also encouraged and supported Indian Unrest in the West. This together with the fact that some American gentlemen like Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun lobbied aggressively for war in an effort to exploit the opportunity to seize Canada made it hard for the President in International affairs. The Nation was though badly divided and when the President asked the Congress for a declaration of war (June1) the South and the west voted for and New England against.

Madison's campaigners defended the war as necessary to establish American neutral rights. Madison was not that popular, but two things turned against Clinton. First, Clinton tried to appeal to hawks and doves alike making his position non-credible. Second, Madison was a president at war and people rallied to his defense.

Campaign and the Issues, 1816: There were no big issues. James Monroe was supported by two popular former presidents, Jefferson and Madison, and Monroe was a skilled tactician doing very little campaigning. The election was a sure thing all from the beginning as there were in fact only one efficient party, the Republicans. The Federalists existed, but was trashed from opposing the War of 1812 and had its voters in the New England area. Its organization and form was old and obsolete and it did not even officially nominate a candidate. It though supported Rufus King who put up only token opposition against the republican juggernaut. The Republicans was on the other hand an all-American movement with strong bases in New York, Virginia and in the South from which it campaign with skill and effect. Four republican presidential terms in a row had strengthened the party proportionally to the decline of the Federalists. James Monroe won a walk-over even if it was not as superior as his victory in 1820 where he grabbed all electors but one. Electoral Votes: Monroe 183, King 34.

Description

The Seminole people came into being over the first several decades of the 1700s. Florida's population had been mostly destroyed by European diseases, leaving large empty areas (inhospitable as they were). Creeks and other native refugees from English colony expansion migrated to Spanish Florida for peace and safety, and the combination formed a new culture which called itself the Seminole. Meanwhile, the Spanish government established a policy of safe haven for runaway slaves from Georgia and other colonies. American colonists accused Seminoles of aiding slave escapes. By the early 1800s, American plantation owners were raiding into Florida to capture escaped slaves and attack Seminole border villages, and Seminoles retaliated with raids of their own into Georgia. At the end of 1817, General Andrew Jackson, hero of the Creek Wars and the War of 1812, was ordered to invade Florida and deal with the problem once and for all. The Spanish objected to this violation of the border, but had no military resources to prevent the incursion.

Description

By 1819, increased tensions between the slaveowning South and the mostly free North were already making legislation in Congress difficult. While the House was uneven by design, the Senate was composed of two senators per state - and since there were 11 slave states and 11 free states, the Senate was exactly balanced at 22 senators apiece. The prospect of adding another state, thereby throwing the balance off, frightened both sides. The slave territory of Missouri applied for statehood in 1819, and New York representatives James Tallmadge Jr. and John Taylor immediately moved to attach restrictions on slavery to Missouri's statehood bill. This stalled the bill for a year. In 1820, Maine (recently broken away from Massachussetts) applied for statehood, and Congress saw a way to keep the balance. Both states were admitted in close succession, with the added condition that slavery would not be permitted in any other Louisiana Purchase territories north of the 36'30 parallel (the southern border of Missouri). No one was happy, but the uneasy peace was preserved for the time being.

Description

During the First Seminole War (1817-1818) US forces had attacked Seminole Indians and fugitive slaves in Florida that had raided Georgia and massacred residents. To root out the problem General Andrew Jackson burnt villages and overthrew the Spanish governor. This episode convinced the Spanish government that the United States was capable of seizing Florida at will. This belief grew so strong that the Spanish government offered Florida to the United Sates for a lump sum of money. The agreement was finalized by U.S. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams and Spanish Minister Luis de Onнs. Mr. President, we will get Florida for a lump sum of 500 ducats should we heed the offer?

Description

Following the Boston Tea Party and the English blockade of Boston harbour, the representatives from all of the American colonies on the East Coast subject to His Majesty except Georgia, assembled in the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia in September 1774 to discuss about following a common policy in defining their rights of British American colonists and suspending trade with the motherland, so distrusting the authority of a Parliament lacking American representatives. The following year, in a situation of internal conflicts between 'Patriots', rebels arranged in a local militia, and English regular troops, a Second Continental Congress was convened in Philadelphia, on 10 May 1775, with the participation of representatives of 13 colonies. Decisions were made about the creation of a Continental Army under the command of a Virginian planter, George Washington, to oppose the British and about signing a petition (Olive Branch Petition) to be extended to the crown and assure the King of England of the loyalty of the British American colonists, who were asking for reconciliation and resignation of His Majesty's ministers, clearly unable to meet their requests. But news of the English army successfully repressing the rebels in America came to Britain together with that petition so that the King firmly refused to intercede and redress colonial grievances. He issued the 'Proclamation for Suppressing Rebellion and Sedition' declaring elements of the American colonies in a state of open and avowed rebellion. There would be no negotiations whatsoever until the stipulation of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, with which England would formally recognize the independence of the Thirteen United States of America.
