Transcript of Chapter 12. Embargo Jefferson’s embargo failed – Economic disaster – OR DID IT…. Non...
Embargo
• Jefferson’s embargo failed– Economic disaster– OR DID IT….
• Non Intercourse- Same thing• Macon’s Bill- Tricked by Napoleon
Direct Causes
• British Impressment• Not France- DRs like France– Plus Napoleon tricked us
• Chance for land- Canada– War Hawks!
• English giving guns to Indians• Only English actively stopped our ships
To Canada
• Quick success in Canada would cause England to lose influence in area
• Land offensives fail, so they tried water control– Oliver Hazard Perry captured a fleet on Lake Erie– Huge victory, coupled with Harrison’s victory at
Battle of Thames, turns the war
Napoleon Leaves
• Napoleon exiled and England throws all available troops into Canada– Macdonough stops English fleet in upper NY,
stopping the English from taking NY
Washington
• A second force lands in Chesapeake Bay and burn Washington DC– Senators and Dolly Madison barely make it out of
White House• Ft. McHenry stops the British– Francis Scott Key
• Meanwhile Andrew Jackson leads indians and untrained soldiers to a victory in New Orleans– Actually happened after the Peace Treaty
Hartford Convention
• Federalists angry at lost trade– Remember: NE is strongly merchant needing trade
• NE States draw up Hartford Convention and deliver it to DC– DC basically still shouldering– Battle of New Orleans news arrived before them
• No more Federalists
Reflection
• Napoleon invaded Russia with 500,000 men• USA invaded Canada with 5000• Small war with limited casualities• US Navy showed promise• Manufacturing increased (Blockade)– Did TJ help out his dead pal Hamilton???
• Longest border in the world established• Napoleon failed and Europe falls into peace– USA free to expand and grow
Era Of Good Feelings
• Nationalism:– New Literature– DC better than before– Sense of pride– Political calm (No federalists)
American System
• First a tariff to battle cheap English goods• Next, the American System– Henry Clay: Bank, Tariff, Roads– Madison hated it and vetoed road bill
Era of Good Feelings?
• Monroe wins 1816 easily• Only one party• South starting to get mad at tariff and west
favoritism• Panic of 1819– Caused by speculation– Almost bankrupt Bank of United States
Slavery
• States came in alternating between free and slave
• Tallmadge amendment wanted no more slave states after Missouri
• Leads to the Missouri Compromise– No new slave states north of 36 30 line, except
Missouri
Marshal Cases
• McCulloch v. Maryland• Cohens v. Virginia• Dartmouth v. Woodward• Gibbons v. Ogden• Cherokee Nation v. Georgia• Etc.
Florida
• Jackson went into Florida with troops• Adams- Onis treaty gives US Florida and
Oregon, US drops claims on Texas
