[][]Goal:[][] Thomas Jefferson signed the Declaration of Independence and was once president.

Midnight Appointments/Marbury v. Madison Case - William Marbury was assigned to be justice of peace by John Adams but did not recieve his documents before John Adams had left. Therefore, Marbury demanded the documents and Madison, being secretary of state, refused to give them to him. Marbury took this act to court where it was decided that the case was unconstitutional. The case helped establish the Supreme Court's power to check the power of the branches and declare an act unconstitutional.

Louisiana Purchase - Jefferson was worried that foreign powers might shut down the access to New Orleans. Spain had control of both New Orleans and Louisiana but it was hard to keep the Americas out. Under a secret treaty Spain agreed to trade Louisiana to France. In 1802 before handing over Louisiana, Spain shut down New Orleans to American ships. Farmers worried about the economy.

Aaron Burr - Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr had a heated rivalry leading to a dual, killing Alexander Hamilton. Aaron Burr wasn't trusted as a vice president to Thomas Jefferson, Took place in Weehawken, New Jersey. Dueling in New York was strictly banned. Aaron Burr lost all political standing yet was never arrested or punished. Ohioan Harman Blennerhassett was convinced into taking Aaron Burr and 500 followers to go around - JUST FOR ADVENTURE/MONEY. People took him to court for "treason" and Aaron Burr pleaded not guilty, because he wasn't. People wanted him in trouble after what he had done to Alexander Hamilton. Died at the age of 80 in 1832. Who was Aaron Burr? No idea. What happened to Alexander Hamilton? Absolutely NO clue.

Lewis and Clark Who-Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and the Corps of Discovery (group of 50 men that also went) What-exploring new territory they gained from the Louisiana Purchase When-began in May 1804 began home in March 1806 Where-Louisiana territory Why-to explore the newly won Louisiana land and to inform natives that they now owned the land How-boats used to move across the great plains, Sacagewea, a Shoshone native, gather and pointed out edible plants. Sacagewea's brother gave them 24 horses to cross the Rockies and paddled down the Columbia River toward the Pacific in 5 canoes.

March 15, 2011 [4] [2] Goal: explore the Lewis and Clark expedition [] []

Notes: Thomas Jefferson, then president, appointed Lewis and Clark to map the Unknown and find the North-West Passage. The men took the north fork and it was the true Mississippi River.
 * Cause || Effect ||
 * Continued up the river. || The storm gets worse causing inability to see. ||
 * Stopped & waited out the storm. || The storm passed over and kept supplies/ships safe. ||
 * Shoot the bear. || The bear died and the men learned more about them from observations/inferences. ||
 * We took the North Fork. || Possibly wrong way, spot Indians in the woods running away (they were startled). ||
 * Let Indians go. || People are invading the camp-site. ||
 * Put weapons down. || Indians didn't attack, we proved that we were friendly. ||
 * Attempt to nurse Sacagawea. || Sacagawea's condition doesn't improve. ||
 * Give Sacagawea opium and water. || Sacagawea is doing a lot better and the expedition continues. ||

March 16, 2011 [4] [1] Goal: to learn about the main events during James Madison's presidency [4] [4]

__Embargo Act of 1807__ States that because the French and the British were taking our ships so we completely stopped trade with them. __Non-Intercourse Act__ After France and GB were done fighting we tried to revise the trade laws. Re-opened trade. __War of 1812__ War began because of unfair trade issues and embargos (slow mail for supplies). 1812-1814 No real war in phase 1. Lots of fighting and sinking boats in phase 2. Got a GREAT national anthem out of it (written by Francis Scott Key). __Treaty of Ghent__ The official treaty ending the Wof 1812. December 24, 1814. All prisoners were released and 10,000 acres of territory war returned to US. Britain promised to return all slaves but ended up just paying us $350,000. __2nd National Bank__ created after war of 1812. No money to repay funds because the First National Bank had closed in 1811. In 1830 during Andrew Jackson closed the bank because he didn't think it was fair (fraud).

Final Thoughts: We think that the Treaty of Ghent was most important because it ended the war and opened up many possible.

March 18, 2011 [4] [2] Goal: to learn events of John Quincy Adams' presidency [4] [3] __Election of 1824__ - John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, William Crawford & Henry Clay JQA=84 WC=41 HC=37 AJ=99 Henry Clay dropped out and gave all of his votes to John Quincy Adams, pushing him over the edge.

__Corrupt Bargain__ - Who: JQA, HC, AJ When: During John Quincy Adams' presidency - 1825-1829 HC had a bargain with JQA because neither men like AJ __Tariff of Abominations__ When: 1828, end of JQA's presidency Congress passed a tariff to make US money: make European goods more expensive so people would buy more American made products. Lead to protesting, forcing Congress to take away the tariff.
 * HC played a huge part in the election of the 6th president
 * Adams made Clay Secretary of State

__Crisis of Nullification__ Result of Tariff of Abominations. Helped the north and hurt the south. States felt like they didn't have to listen to the federal gov't. If they didn't want to obey the gov't, they would leave the union. Mainly the southern states were trying to avoid the tariff.

March 21, 2011 [] [] Goal: to review the presidents to this point. [] []
 * 1) Washington
 * 2) Adams - Alien and Sedation Act
 * 3) Jefferson - LA Purchase/Lewis and Clark Expedition
 * 4) Madison - War of 1812
 * 5) Monroe - Monroe Doctrine
 * 6) JQ Adams - Election of 1812
 * 7) Jackson - Trail of Tears/Indian Removal Act

Acronym- A Jittery Monkey Made JQ Adams jump!
March 22, 2011 [4] [1] Goal: be able to pull out the main ideas of Jackson's presidency [4] [3]

__Jacksonian Democracy__ who- Jackson, Adams, small family farm owners, big plantations & factories what-the creation of the Democrats and Republicans when-1820's to 1830's where-throughout the nation why-small farm owners got nervous when plantation/factory owners started to take over gov't. Sided with Jackson and started to shape the democracy views. how-formed democratic reforms and got to convince state gov't of their views. OUTCOME-Democratics and Republicans rich=upset poor farmers=happy (democrats led into republicans)

__The Bank War__ Who: Andrew Jackson What: Vetoed the Second National Bank Where: Capitol When: sent rejection letter on July 10, 1832 Why: He vetoed a bill that would have renewed the charter for the Second Bank of the United States. It was one of the most definitive acts of his presidency. Basically, he hates the bank.

__Nullification Proclamation__ Who: Andrew Jackson and John C. Calhoun caused Jackson to take action. Effected the people of South Carolina. What: Proclamation taking away a states right to cancel a federal law or make it void. When: December 10, 1832 Where: South Carolina Why: it was written in response to an ordinance made by a SC convention stating that the Tariff Acts in 1828 and 1832 were not authorized by constitution and should not effect the state. Also, it upset them because they felt that the tariffs favored Northerners interests and made Southern farmers do all the work.

__Indian Removal Act of 1830__ Application (page 332) If I was in this situation, I would feel scared. Especially at this age when you are still dependent on family, friends and your surroundings. On top of all that, I would be super duper mega frustrated. who-Andrew Jackson and Natives in the East what-the actual Indian Removal Act was to remove all the natives and move them west of the Mississippi. The natives didn't want to move so the gov't had to force them out and in the journey lots of people were upset and died. when-1830 where-in more of the southern states why-to open up more land to english settlers
