Things that help define the Jeffersonian era

The Election of 1800(Helperin)

HE WON!!!!!!

Ended up having 10 states vote for him

Tied with Aaron Burr, was counting on the House of Reps to help him win

Jefferson and Adams were running against eachother

Adams- Federalist

Jefferson- Democratic Republican

The embargo act(Britannica)

It effected American Farmers and merchants negativley but gave French and British dealers a chance to raise their prices

This violated international law leading Thomas Jefferson to get involved and create The Embargo Act

Embargo Act- Closed all U.S. ports and restricted imports from England

Napoleon brought the U.S into this case by using American vessels in French ports, after England put a blockade on Napoleonic Europe

France and England were fighting and Napoleon prohibited British trade

Chesapeake Leopard Affair(National Park Service)

Not really being able to do anything about the situation at that time, Jefferson pushed for new economic pressure with England

Ratford refused and after injuring and killing passnagers they took their bodies and Ratfords as well

They ran into a British Vessle and when they were asked to be searched

Jerkin Ratford and his crew stole a boat

The Louisiana Purchase(General Knowledge)

People were also worried about the Purchase being constitutional

Not everyone was happy with the purchase because of their beliefs on France

The land gets passed from France to Spain bought back by France then bought by Jefferson for the U.S.

Gigantic step for expanding the U.S.
