After his oath, he delivered an address. This was important because it marked the start of our government and the executive branch could officially start operations.

This is very significant because it took a very long time to convince everyone to sign the Constitution, this includes adding a Bill of Rights. This has now set our government and how we will be each day and the rights that we have.

Many people and farmers were very upset by this and decided to rebel. They protested the tax and did not stop until 1794. This even was significant because it tested federal authority for the first time and showed the government will use their forces.

In this he addresses the concern of political parties and warns against them. He also warns them about foreign wars and getting involved. This is very important because it told the people that Washington would no longer rain as president, and it gives the states important warnings of what to stay careful about as they continue to grow and continue as a country.

The Democratic-Republican candidate was Thomas Jefferson, and the Federalist candidate was John Adams. Even though they both picked out a Vice President, the loser ends up as Vice President instead. Adams won the election, making Jefferson the Vice President. This event was important because it was the first time political parties played a dominant roll and it is the only election where 2 opposing parties were on the same ticket.

Burr and Jefferson end up tying and the vote had to go to the House of Representatives. The House voted for Jefferson, electing him as the 3rd President. This is significant because this was the first time more than 2 people ran in an election, and the first time the candidates tied. This election set the precedent for a peaceful transition of power and also the flaws set a precedent for the 12th amendment.

This was illegal and violated the Judiciary Act of 1789. This is significant because it established Judicial Review, making the supreme court eligible to  declare acts of Congress unconstitutional.

Jefferson bought 828,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River. He was very conflicted when making this purchase since he follows the Constitution strictly and it did not state he could purchase land. He bought it anyways, but it was the best thing he could have done. The Americans were very happy with Jefferson for this purchase. This is significant because the states doubled and got to expand more west.

Lewis took William Clark with him on the expedition that was approximately 8,000 miles and was very very rough, but however very successful and helped immensely. This expedition is significant because it provided new geological, ecological, and cultural about previously uncharted areas of North America.

During this time one of the British ships, the HMS Leopard, saw this as a great time to get revenge. The British asked to search the ship, and when they weren't granted access the British commander fired at them, killing 3 Americans and wounding 18 others. The British then seized the ship and got what they were after. This event was significant because it showed the degrading relationship between the British and Americans and is what helped lead to the war of 1812.

The Americans did this hoping it would hurt the British and other Europeans, but it ended up backfiring and hurting them more. The embargo was eventually lifted in 1809. This is significant because it closed the American economy in effort to show the French and British we could rely on our own good and be independent.

The French sent out 3 officials, that we named X, Y, and Z, that told the Americans they would have to bribe them in order to see the French minister. This is important because it led to the undeclared  2 year war with the French.

Many Americans did want to go to war, but a group of War Hawks was all in. The Americans were very unprepared for this war but fought anyways. This war is significant because in the end we gained respect from the British and French, as well as raising National Pride in the States.

By the time they got there they realized that Madison and his first lady, Dolly, had already fled.  Dolly was able to grab the portrait of George Washington before the flee and saved it from being burned, and to this day it is still in the new White House. This event was significant because the White House was not able to be saved and burned down, showing the ruthlessness of the British.

The Alien Acts raised the years from 5 to 14 for residency requirements for citizenship, as well as authorizing the president the right to deport any "aliens" he saw fit during the war time. The Sedition act prohibited the citizens to write, speak or publish anything misleading, malicious or false about the government.
