Judiciary Act of 1801

In the period between Jefferson's election and inauguration, Adams passed the act, which created 16 new federal judge positions, which he quickly tries to fill with federalists

Midnight Judges

The judges appointed by Adams right before Jefferson assumed his presidency after the creation of the Judiciary Act

During Jefferson's Presidency

- Animosity between political parties
- Jefferson keeps the National Bank and debt repayment
- Jefferson keeps the neutrality stance
- Jefferson will lower taxes, end the excise tax, end the Alien and Sedition Act, and shrink the U.S. Army (less debt and small power of federal government)

Louisiana Purchase (1803)

While against the Pinckney Treaty, Spain cuts off American access to New Orleans. Jefferson sends diplomats to France to buy New Orleans from France and kick Spain out, but Napoleon agrees to sell all of Louisiana for 15 mil. This is not a classic Jeffersonian move, but it adds voters to the D-R party because of all the farmers moving west

Marbury v. Madison (1803)

The judges appointed under the Judiciary Act cannot assume there positions until they get their commissions, which William Marbury didn't get in time. The Supreme Court declared that they have no jurisdiciton because the law is unconstitutional. Event established judicial review

Dartmouth v. Woodward (1819)

Dartmouth College, a private institution, refused to accept an attempt by New Hampshire to turn the school into a public institution. Daniel Webster (Dartmouth) argued that the state lacked the power to undo the royal contract bestowed on Dartmouth prior to the war. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Dartmouth, saying that contractual layovers from the colonial period help weight against state laws (federal government > states)

Daniel Webster

Represented Dartmouth College in the case of Dartmouth College v. Woodward

McCullough v. Maryland (1819)

Maryland tries to tax the National Bank, but the bank refuses to pay the tax. The Supreme Court sides with the National Bank, deeming that the National Bank is constitutional (Necessary and Proper Clause) and states have no power to control the federal government

Gibbons v. Ogden (1824)

Ogden has a license to run his ferry line from New York, while Gibbons has a license to run his ferry line from the federal government. The Supreme Court says Gibbons is in the right (Commerce Clause) and the federal government regulates interstate commerce

Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton

Aaron Burr challenges Alexander Hamilton to a duel, where Hamilton is shot after Hamilton discourages New Yorkers from voting Burr for governor (after being kicked off the ticket for Jefferson's Vice President)

Embargo of 1807

Jefferson writes that America will stop trading with the entire world, hoping that it will hurt the economies of France and especially Britain and will hault the attack on American ships. Instead, the embargo hurts the American economy and makes Jefferson unpopular (damaging D-R representatives in Congress and giving F party seats in Congress)

USS Chesapeake

The British Leopard (ship) takes the USS Chesapeake and impresses/kills some of the sailors

Non-Intercourse Act

This act replaced the Embargo of 1807, and declared that America would start trading with everyone except Britain and France, which were the most prosperous countries, so the American economy was still damaged. The American manufacturing did increase because of this lack of trade

Macon's Bill No. 2

This act replaced the Non-Intercourse Act, declaring a bargain where if either Britain or France stopped seizing American ships, America would trade with that country and embargo the other (the enemy). Napoleon accepts this offer for France

Market Economy

The shift towards producing goods not only for yourself but producing goods for sale for others

Causes of the War of 1812

- Impressment of American sailors
- British violation of neutral waters (still seizing ships)
- America wants Canada, which is controlled by Britain

- Stage 4: British troops burned Washington D.C. (1814), and American troops go to Fort McHenry, where British fire on the fort (Americans didn't surrender)

Hartford Convention

Federalists meet to discuss the War of 1812, which they don't agree with because the blockade has damaged the economy, and they believe that the purpose is for Americans to get more land and spread slavery, decreasing their voice in Congress. At the convention, Federalists plan new amendments: end to 3/5 compromise, require 2/3 majority of Congress to declare war, no taxes on exports, no embargos longer than 60 days, one-term presidency, and no successive presidents from the same state.

A road created that stretched from Maryland to West Virginia

New Technologies in Communication

- Telegraph
- Factories

New Way to View Work

Before the Market Revolution, work was typically done in the home, however it was shown that it was way more efficient to gather the workers together. In factories, work is regulated by the clock. Factories made it possible for more people to do industrial work, especially women

Price v. Wage

Prior to the Market Revolution, price was linked to products produced. In factories, wage was linked to hours of work

Andrew Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans

Even though the War of 1812 was over after the Treaty of Ghent was signed, the news of Andrew Jackson's victory in the Battle of New Orleans spread before the news of the war being over, making Andrew Jackson seem like a hero

Treaty of Ghent

Negotiated by John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay, these delegates established "status quo ante bellum," where Britain and America would go back to life before the war, giving back land and continuing impressment

Nationalism

The persistence of the American soldiers and their act of not surrendering during the firing at Fort McHenry led to an increased sense of pride and patriotism in America. The "Second War of Independence" was where America stood up to Britain with a huge surge of unity and patriotism

American System

Missouri Compromise

An agreement in 1820 between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States concerning the extension of slavery into new territories (want equilibrium). Henry Clay compromised that Missouri would be allowed to enter statehood as a slave state, while Maine would enter as a free state, and that slavery would be prohibited in any land above the 36/30 line in the Louisiana Purchase

Tallmadge Amendment

Missouri would enter the nation as a slave state, but slaves couldn't be broguh in the state and there would be a slave emancipation when the enslaved turn 25 years old (rejected)

Monroe Doctrine

Dealing with the Western Hemisphere and created by John Quincy Adams, this doctrine declares that...
- American continents should not be considered for future colonization by Europe
- The nations in the Western Hemisphere are different from those in Europe (republics v. monarchies)
- If Europe does try to impose itself on any country in the Western Hemisphere, America will consider it a threat to its own peace
- America will not interfere in European affairs

Corrupt Bargain

Alleged deal between John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay to throw the election in Adam's favor. This accusation became the rallying cry for supporters of Andrew Jackson

Lowell Mills

Lowell recreated the powered loom, which helped reorganize and centralize the American manufacturing process. The Waltham-Lowell System led to a textile mill under one roof, shaping the Modern American Factory

Agricultural Technologies

When merchants began experimenting with machines, they relied on theft of British technological knowledge. Examples include powered looms (Lowell), and the yarn-spinning machine and a carding machine (Slater)

Free Labor Ideology

All men could start their careers as humble wage workers but later achieve positions of ownership and stability

Class Conflict v. Social Mobility in Labor

Employers had financial security and political power, while the employees faced uncertainty and powerlessness in the workforce, even though there was presumable contract of equality between employers and employees, in contrast to owners and workers

Role of Educaiton for Middle Class / Elite v. Poor

Middle-class children found opportunities for respectable employment through formal education, but poor children remained in marginalized positions. When poor children did recieve education, they often simultaneously indentured as domestic laborers and field workers

"Romantic Childhood"

Children were sheltered within the home and nurtured through primary school, which was an opportunity available to families who could survive without their child's labor

Work Spheres for Men/Women and the Differences by Class

The public realm (economic production and political life) for men and the domestic life (private) for women, where women didn't bring money into the household. Middle and Upper classes reinforced status by shielding the women from the harsh realities of wage labor, while Lower class women contributed to the household eocnomy directly

Changes in Women's Domestic Tasks

As cloth production became normalized (mechanized production), women were relieved of their labor obligations (usually home-based)

Legal Status of Women

Married couples were counted as a single unit represented by the husband (per the notion of coverture), and women couldn't earn their own money or own their own property

"Institutional" v. "Companionative" Marriage

Institutional marriage was when there were labor arrangments that maximized the chances of survival by assessing skills, while companionative marriage was when people priviledged character and compatibility (land became less important for marriage as wealthy men became bankers and clerks). The change was facilitated by an increasingly complex economy with new ways to store and create wealth
