FOREIGN POLICY UNDER JEFFERSON Although Thomas Jefferson came to power determined to limit the reach of the federal government, foreign affairs dominated his presidency and pushed him toward Federalist policies Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the nation After 3 Americans were killed in a naval conflict with Britain, Jefferson banned all British ships from U.S. ports, ordered state governors to prepare to call up 100,000 militiamen, and suspended trade with all of Europe in the Embargo Act of 1807. Wanted France and England to respect American neutrality American exports plummeted from $108 million to $22 million.
LONG-TERM IMPACTS OF THE EMBARGO Finally, Jefferson backed off in the last months of his administration, and Congress replaced the Embargo Act with the Non-Intercourse Act, which banned trade with England and France but allowed it with all other countries. Eventually, the trade war would propel America into a fighting war with England during the administration of Jefferson's successor, James Madison.

DO NOW Could you ever see a political party collapsing today? Why or why not?
NON-INTERCOURSE ACT After the Embargo of 1807 was repealed by Congress, it was replaced with the Non-Intercourse Act The Non-Intercourse Act resumed trade with all European nations, except for England and France, just as President Madison took office
MACON S BILL NO. 2 In 1810, Congress passed Macon's Bill No. 2. declaring that if either France or Britain normalized trade with the US, the US would employ the Non-Intercourse Act against the other power. Napoleon quickly lifted all trade restrictions with the U.S. Madison reinstated the Non-Intercourse Acts restricting trade with Britain in November 1810, pushing the US closer to war with Britain
BATTLE OF TIPPECANOE Seeing increased tensions with the British, The Shawnee realized that if US encroachment onto Indian land was ever to be stopped, this was the time. On November 7, 1811, US General William Henry Harrison invaded and torched the village of Tippecanoe, the Shawnee headquarters. After winning the battle, there was more room for settlers on the frontier.
WAR HAWKS Victory at Tippecanoe excited War Hawks With the Indians in the frontier beaten back, the War Hawks then decided it was time to attack the Indian's supply base: British Canada. The War Hawks simultaneously had their eyes on what was left of Spanish Florida. In June 1812, against the wishes of the pro-trade and predominantly Federalist Northeast, Congress declared war on Britain.

THE BRITISH AT WAR The British still had large holdings in Canada, creating tension at the norther border of the US The British navy far outnumbered the US Navy FUN FACT: The British seized Washington DC and burned the White House
NATIVES AT WAR Most supported the British, to avoid US encroachment on their land
FRENCH AT WAR The Napoleonic Wars were at their height, so France sought to support the United States in weakening their primary enemy, the British.
BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS In attacking New Orleans, the British hoped to prevent US ships from entering and exiting the Mississippi River, cutting off America's most important inland transportation and shipping route. After winning the battle of New Orleans, patriotism swept through the nation The Treaty of Ghent was signed just before the Battle of New Orleans, but it served as a symbolic end to the conflict FUN FACT: The Star Spangled Banner was played here by Francis Scott Key
ERA OF GOOD FEELINGS The Era of Good Feelings marked a period in the political history of the United States that reflected a sense of national purpose and a desire for unity among Americans in the aftermath of the War of 1812, referred to as the second war for independence.
COLLAPSE OF THE FEDERALIST PARTY Word of New England Secession from the US spread just as Jackson led the US to victory at the Battle of New Orleans The Federalists were seen as unpatriotic, and the party eventually dissolved Madison was re-elected unopposed
AMERICAN-CANADIAN RELATIONSHIP The border between the US and Canada became clear The war ensured that there would be a different society to the north, and having fought for its existence -- as had its neighbor thirty years earlier. Out of that would grow mutual respect and an enduring friendship.

The war was devastating to New England shipping and when the British exempted New England from its blockade, the United States imposed an embargo that did their work for them.
THE CONVENTION Delegates from New England states met in secret to discuss the impacts of the war of 1812 Delegates wrote proposed amendments to the Constitution to serve northern, industrial interests Secession was discussed
EFFECTS The Federalist Party dissolved after the War of 1812 was won.
