6 PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES Expansion and Reform Throughout the 1800s, the United States would expand its territory either by buying land or acquiring it through war. Who, then, can doubt that our country is destined to be the great nation of futurity? John L. O Sullivan, magazine editor 6
7 EXPANSION AND REFORM The years from 1801 to 1860 were a period of expansion and reform in the United States. This era began with the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence. In 1803, Jefferson bought a large piece of land from France that stretched from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains. Known as the Louisiana Purchase, it doubled the size of the United States. By the mid-1800s, the United States borders would reach as far west as the Pacific Ocean. During this period of U.S. history, the United States needed to prove itself as an independent nation. Even though it had gained freedom from Great Britain in the Revolutionary War, there were many struggles ahead. The British still had a strong influence in the region. European countries, such as Spain and France, owned land in the Americas. Other countries, such as Russia and Mexico, wished to colonize parts of North America. One of the United States first tests of independence was the War of The British prevented U.S. trade overseas and helped American Indians defend land that the United States wished to settle. Americans went to war with the British once again. Fighting for its rights against a powerful nation like Great Britain proved to the world that the United States was a strong, independent nation. Yet, this would not be the only time that the United States would stand up to a world power. As the nation grew, so did the issues of states rights and slavery. Some people saw an increasing need for slaves as the United States gained territory. They thought slaves were needed to farm the land. Abolitionists wanted to end slavery. They viewed the enslavement of other people as wrong and unjust. People often argued whether it was up to state governments or the federal government to decide if slavery should be allowed in new territories. Politics divided many people. The beginning of the expansion and reform era was known as the Virginia dynasty. Three presidents, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe, were elected between 1800 and They were all from Virginia and belonged to the Democratic-Republican Party. Members of this party ran against each other in the 1824 presidential election. John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson were among the most popular candidates, and neither was from Virginia. The election was highly contested. As a result, the election caused a split in the Democratic-Republican Party. Followers of Adams and Jackson would eventually form separate political parties. Following the Virginia dynasty, the formation of new political parties would be just one of many struggles faced by U.S. presidents. The Expansion and Reform Era would be filled with wars and economic troubles. Two presidents would die in office, and several issues would threaten to divide the country in two. 7
