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.

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?

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.

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.

In July 1798 President Adams approved legislation levying federal taxes on property. This had consequences.

Description

By the time the US Constitution was drafted in 1787, the de facto capitals of the new USA were Philadelphia and New York. But the framers saw that setting the capital in either - or in any particular state - might cause jealousy among the other states, and also might grant that state too much leverage over the federal government in times of unrest. Therefore, Article 1 Section 8 granted Congress the ability to create and administrate a 10-by-10 mile federal district that would not be part of any state. However, there was no guidance as to where such a district might be located. New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia all offered land. Where shall we create this 'District of Columbia'?

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.

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?

Action B of 3061 - The Louisiana Purchase for United States

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?

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.

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. The war was not a great success for the United States military and the White House was bombard by the Royal Navy. Only the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 was considered a victory. The war ended in a status quo peace, but it could very well have ended differently. Who will you choose Mr. President?

After the second war with England, The War of 1812, the United States' economic dependency on England had finally come to an end. Domestic industry, filled the vacuum created by a suspension of trade with Europe, emerged from the war a vital, expanding force in the economy. America had taken its first steps in the evolution from a largely agrarian nation into an industrial giant.

Campaign and the Issues, 1812: The War of 1812 dominated the campaign. Because the United States suffered early defeats in the West, DeWitt Clinton's supporters blasted the president for incompetence in directing the war effort, a war that Federalists denounced as groundless. 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. Electoral Votes: Madison 128, Clinton 89. How will the Spirit of America choose this time?

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, 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.

Campaign and the Issues, 1820: James Monroe's first term had ushered in the Era of Good Feelings. Rufus King's Federalist party had nearly ceased to exist, leaving Monroe's Democrat-Republicans as the only major party. Monroe ran unopposed and received all but one electoral vote. The only issue in the election was whether Missouri's votes should count or not, since it had not yet been fully admitted as a state. This turned out not to matter since it would have only contributed further to Monroe's unopposed win. But if Rufus King had won in 1816, he might well have run again in 1820. Who will you choose?

Description

Campaign and the Issues, 1824: For the first time since 1812, the presidential election was competitive. There was still only one major party - the Democratic-Republican Party - but it was beginning to splinter along regional lines. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, Massachusetts resident and son of John Adams, was popular in New England with a platform of continuing James Monroe's policies. General Andrew Jackson had a major following in the western states on a populist platform of laissez-faire government and removing Indians westward. Speaker of the House Henry Clay and Secretary of the Treasury William Crawford drew from western and southern bases. Jackson and Adams finished first and second in both the electoral vote and the popular vote, but Jackson did not reach the required majority of the electoral vote, and the top three candidates (Jackson, Adams, and Crawford) advanced to a vote of the House of Representatives, chaired by Clay. Clay disliked Jackson's deliberately rough-and-tumble public demeanor, and worked toward achieving an alliance between Adams and Crawford at Jackson's expense. Adams was elected on the first House ballot and Clay was rewarded with the position of Secretary of State in what Jackson's supporters called a 'corrupt bargain'. The Era of Good Feelings was definitely over. Who will you choose?

Description

Campaign and the Issues, 1828: The bitterly contested 1824 election had signalled the death knell for the one-party system. In 1828, the Democratic-Republican party had split into Andrew Jackson's Democratic party and incumbent John Quincy Adams' National Republican party. This was also the first election in which most states allowed all white men to vote, not just those who owned property. This doubling of the electorate came with a different style of campaigning. Both Jackson and Adams ran negative campaigns focusing on each other's supposed scandals. Both candidates also attempted to invoke the positive memory of the recently deceased Thomas Jefferson in their favor, while the populist Jackson began the modern tradition of hand-shaking and baby-kissing. Jackson's actual issues were nearly the same as in his 1824 campaign: shrink the federal government but also move eastern Indians west of the Mississippi. The final vote was a landslide for Jackson, but who will you choose?

Description

Although many Native American tribes had adopted white-European ways by the 1820s and 1830s - particularly the Five Civilized Tribes of Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminole - there were still white voices arguing that they could never be fully assimilated into white society and therefore should be removed to a place where they could self-govern. The Georgia Gold Rush of 1828 brought matters to a head in western Georgia, where white prospectors moved en masse into Cherokee lands to search for gold. President Andrew Jackson, veteran of numerous Indian wars, called for Indian removal in his 1829 State of the Union address. His proposal called for the transfer of all native lands to US states, and corresponding land grants west of the Mississippi River for Indian resettlement. Jackson believed this was the only way to avoid extinction of Indians, but not all saw it as a mercy.

Description

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 paved the way for forced migration of eastern Indian tribes to lands west of the Mississippi. The U.S. government largely ignored the many existing Indian treaties in an effort to appease white settlers. Between 1831 and 1838, all five Civilized Tribes were removed - nearly 50,000 were forced from their homes, and at least 10,000-15,000 died from disease, malnutrition, and cold exposure along the 900-mile Trail of Tears. The survivors settled in eastern and central Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), making peace with the migratory Osage, Quapaw, Caddo, and Wichita tribes who already lived there. More than 20 other eastern Indian nations were removed to Oklahoma over the next 30 years, although no other removal had such a mortality rate. The feeling of betrayal by the U.S. federal government would later cause almost all the removed tribes to support the Confederacy during the Civil War.

Campaign and the Issues, 1832: While the incumbent Andrew Jackson had opposed the Bank of the United States in his 1824 and 1828 campaigns, he had not had opportunity to do anything about it since its charter ran through 1836. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and the National Republicans - allies of the national bank - saw a chance to force Jackson into a potentially unpopular bank war, and the Bank submitted its charter renewal early in 1832 rather than waiting. Congress approved the charter but Jackson vetoed it, announcing that he intended to protect the small against the rich elite. Some of his coalition opposed the bank because it offered credit too easily, while some wanted credit and didn't receive it. Whatever the reasons, his opposition to the bank did not prove the disaster that Clay's party had hoped for. Jackson won reelection handily, but who will you choose?

Description

After the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the U.S. government and the Seminole nation signed the 1832 Treaty of Payne's Landing, providing for the tribe to join the Creek Nation in Indian Territory. However, the tribe felt they had been tricked into signing. The government established a deadline of 1835 for all Seminoles to move, but the Seminoles informed the government agents that they had no intention of leaving. President Andrew Jackson's threats of force (and unilateral removal of several Seminole chiefs from their positions) were enough to convince most of the recalcitrants, but the young warrior Osceola took matters into his own hands. He and his followers began a campaign of guerrilla resistance which lasted seven years, despite never numbering more than a few hundred warriors. Osceola himself was illegally captured by General Thomas Jesup during a white flag parley and died in prison in 1838, but his name became legendary.

Action A of 3090 - The Sale of Florida to the United States for Spain

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 Onís. Mr. President, we will get Florida for a lump sum of 500 ducats should we heed the offer?
