Answer 1

Answer: Jefferson wanted to explore and claim vast sections of the American West in order to facilitate expansion by Americans increasingly lacking land for new children to inherit and become independent farmers. Jefferson believed in negotiating with Indians to obtain land concessions for white settlers. Jefferson purchased Louisiana from the French and sent Lewis and Clarke to explore the region.

Answer 2

Answer: In the presidential election of 1800, Thomas Jefferson and the Jeffersonian Republicans took charge after a decade of Federalist rule under Washington and Adams. In an emotional election that witnessed the decline of the Federalist party, the vote was so close that the House of Representatives decided the outcome. The Federalists also lost majorities in the House and Senate.

Answer 3

Answer: To protect the United States from France, the Federalists in Congress passed several pieces of legislation in 1798 curbing immigration and reducing the rights of aliens in the United States and the right of free speech in time of war. Investigations followed to force foreigners to register with the government. The acts generated a firestorm of protest across the nation.

Answer 4

Answer: Heavy debts, agricultural depression, lack of money, and increased taxes drove the farmers of Massachusetts into rebellion under the leadership of Daniel Shays in 1786. Although the government responded with force to put down the protest, the episode helped convince many Americans of the need to correct the inadequacies of the Confederation.
