▪ Form of democracy that says every individual has unalienable rights that cannot be voted away

  • Political participation, dedication to general good, individual virtue o Alex Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay are all FEDERALISTS: want rule by elite, extensive foreign relations, US should be large player in foreign affairs, must be rich to have political liberties, key is COMMERCE, strong fed govt.
  • JEFF & REPUBLICANS
  • Elected 1800
  • “Jeffersonian Democracy” o Symbol of the YOMEN FARMER- agrarian republic where most ppl would be farmers, farmers are the backbone of society, the “chosen people of God” since farmers are self- sufficient, economically independent so could pursue public good o Not against commerce should be in international trade, some manufacturing should exist, but afraid of over-industrialization o Protect independence of the ppl, limited fed govt o Ironic—he acts as a strong leader w/ powerful fed govt o Wrote DOI

  • 2 ways US benefited:
  • 1] HAITAIN REVOLUTION, 1791 - 1804

▪ US reasserted rights, total disrespect of US ▪ Jeff knew 0 resources to go to war, implemented PEACABLE COERCION, aka EMBARGO ACT OF 1807 - if can’t respect our rights, ships will stay home—no exports ▪ Jeff naïve—thought US would agree, but not case, just forced ppl to smuggle ▪ Began supervision of coast/regulation/enforcement drain on resources, smuggling increases, media protest ▪ Creates NATIONAL DEPRESSION- NE hardest hit (sailors, shipbuilding industry at standstill, even talks of recession ▪ Negative effects on US, Brit merchants took over markets US no longer in

  • Damaged relations b/t US & GB/FR o Lifted act b4 leaving office
  • Madison now in office, wasn’t able to make much headway w/ foreign probs either o Eur disrespect & Am. exposure of powerlessness from these little dilemmas o US wanted Brit respect
  • 2 FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO WAR o 1] Brit helping NA, arming them, only way to make West safe for settling was to drive o 2] Am. eyeing Spanish FL, slaves escaping here, access to GULF OF MEXICO here, Spain an ally of GB here too
  • US goes to war w/ GB wanting respect from GB o JAMES MADISON thought answer to win was CANADA—sent supplies here, defends national pride o Am.s optimistic ab war o Brit found war as “annoying sideshow” main goal was to keep US out of Canada, focus on FR o Brit occupy DC, burn capitol, slideshow of humiliations for US
  • Ends o 2,200 Ams die, ends in stalemate TREATY OF GHENT- Dec 24, 1814 o US viewed it as win—no more impressment o Canadians saw it as win b/c US kept out o Brit fine b/c beat Napoleon in 1815 & kept Canada
  • Why does War of 1812 matter? o 1] TURNING POINT B/T US AS YOUNG REPUBLIC & YOUNG NATION AS FORCE TO BE RECKONED W/ (has to do w/ identity, nationalism) ▪ Huge expenditure of national power that goes into manufacturing, infrastructure, industry, economic development o 2] IMPACT OF NATIONAL PSYCHE ▪ Ended w/ BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS- w/ Jackson defeating GB, US lose 3, GB lost 2,000! ▪ War quickly rewritten as US victory ▪ Waged in Jan 1815 — 2 weeks after treaty, war over… o See this as 2 nd^ Rev, US feeling gains of Rev secure o Now, we can exist as an independent nation o Silenced international doubters and external critics, surge of confidence and nationalism ▪ Important b/c many ppl considering developing national ID what does it mean to be Am? o War gave us NATIONAL ANTHEM—Francis Scott Key at Baltimore ▪ Set to tune of Brit drinking song
  • TAKEAWAYS o Answer to Q: part of being rep is figuring this out o War 1812 important to rep outside of world and internally respected as well Lecture 2: The Young Republic in the World II Q: Who and what is Am? (economic-focused answer)

o 4] If EUR nation tried to control other nations in West Hem, is hostile act vs. US

  • 3 concepts: o 2 separate spheres of influence o Non-colonization o Non-intervention
  • EUR paid little attention to this, wasn’t known as Monroe Doctrine until 30 yrs later
  • Why important? o 1] Expression of US Nationalism o 2] Expression of US concern to possible threats ”hands-on” side to US, we’ll establish new colonies later o 3] Established Am. hegemony (leadership/dominance by one country) in West Hem, later US govt could justify aggressive actions
  • Used later, becomes important them
  • Is a LONG-STANDING TENET OF US FOREIGN POLICY US in Atlantic World
  • Well-integrated in EUR markets b/c GB rule
  • Hiccups in War 1812—no access to West Indies, no protection from GB Navy (pirates exist)
  • ½ exports to GB, 40% imports from GB o Atlantic O. becomes highway for exchange b/t US and EUR (tech development, goods, etc.) US late to Pacific
  • EUR powers been here for centuries o Porcelain, silk, spices trading networks already established here o Many explorations by GB explorer JAMES COOK in 1768 o 1830, GB began settling Australia and NZ o By 1850s, Pacific is freeway EUR countries all have little pieces of Asia and all want trade w/ China (richest nation, huge markets)—US wants in on Chinese trading
  • After independence, could trade w/ China o Dangerous to sail here—typhoons, pirates, long trips, usually only elites made trips o So lucrative though! Ppl made $mils off trade

o US gets to China in 1784, late to hame o Created US 1 st^ millionaires, would put it back into US economy for development

  • CANTON- luxury marketplace of Pacific, all countries came to trade here w/ merchants o Am. wanted silk, porcelain, knick-knacks (fans/pottery), luxury goods to signal luxury and prestigious status o Trade port—Chinese controls rules of trade, but when opened up—they did not o Wanted tastes of sophistication—gentility important to Am. elites at time o Trying to gain cultural legitimacy as well (NATIONALISM) o Wanted TEA (green tea is major beverage in US until 1830s—made water potable) o US gave Chinese silver for tea in return o Working class would buy porcelains, elites buy luxury items, everyone bought tea
  • Stimulated CLIPPER SHIPS to transport tea and other Chinese goods o Narrow, but built for SPEED! 2x faster than traditional merchant ships b/c tea needed to be fresh o China didn’t want anything US had (rum, fur, pelts, salt-fish, lumber, flower) ▪ After 50 yrs, China had enough fur and pelts Otters became near extinct ▪ China began to want SANDLEWOOD which they got from Hawaii (“Sandlewood Mt.s”) supply became depleted o US also traded GINSENG and COTTON o No consistent, dependent commodity to give China though… o By looking for products China wanted, added to US knowledge of Pacific, established trade roots, ports, and relations by 1830s
  • Emerging prob w/ China trade: GB had little Chinese wanted o Chinese wanted silver, but we both had limited supply o Solution: drug-trafficking GB sells OPIUM to China (addictive) o Chinese imperial govt outlawed opium in 18C, but lots of smuggling o Ams got opium from Turkey to get into trade—profitable, but played minor role for US, major for GB
  • OPIUM WAR (1839-1842)
  • GB wins, forced China to sign unfair treaty, THE TREATY OF NANKING- opens up China— 4 new ports, GB gets HONG KONG

▪ Cuba and Jamaica- work on sugar plantations ▪ Peru- harvested Guano (bird poop used to fertilize soil) in pits [needed for exhausted soils in order for them to work again]

  • Dangerous work—extreme heat, dangerous fumes that would damage worker’s bodies, guards hired to prevent coolie suicide
  • None survived who were sent to harvest guano
  • Reasons why possible? o 1] Opium war opens China o 2] End of illegal Atlantic slave trade looking for cheap sources of labor

  • One answer: ABUNDANT NATURAL RESOURCES Am exceptionalism—US blessed w/ great land and NRs o W/ expansion (Indian Removal) and manufacturing, US NRs and $ increases
