Mississippi River to Rocky Mountains

Wasnt Louisiana Spanish?
YES it was until 1800 when a New French leader
got Spain to hand it back over. (Treaty of
Ildefenso)

River as freely as the Spanish Are we going to
have to go to war? Must we side w/Britain

Just the facts

• 840,000 square miles of territory
• 15 million dollars
• Complete control of both the Mississippi and
  Missouri Rivers
• Control of New Orleans
• Less than 4 cents an acre
• Access to the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains
• More land

10
Oh, but what of strict construction? It doesnt
say in the Constitution that the govt can just
spend tax money on acquiring land.
Practically Speaking -Controlling land West of
the Mississippi before the settlers get there
will prevent war with a foreign
power. Politically Speaking -New agricultural
states will benefit the Democratic-Republican
party Ideologically Speaking -The new land will
create lots of land for farms which Jefferson
believes will preserve civic virtue

ELECTION of 1800
-The People the states want the
Democratic-Republicans -No clear majority in the
Electoral college means House of
Representatives must chose -House of Reps is
mostly Federalist. -Should the House members vote
in the interest of their party affiliation or
please the people?
23
ELECTION of 1800
The House honored the wishes of the voters and
their states. They gave Jefferson the presidency
and Aaron Burr the Vice Presidency, which was the
choice of the states
24
The Revolution of 1800

• Jefferson said there had been a revolution b/c
• The majority party changed hands (not much of a
  revolution really)
• Why did it happen? Americans were Fed up with
  the Federalists (Alien and Sedition Acts).

Thomas Jefferson Internal Developments

Madison (1803) 3.) Louisiana Purchase (1803)
26
The Twelfth Amendment

• Now the voters/electors select not only the
  President but the vice president as well.
• If multiple people run for president a winner is
  declared only if they have 51 of electoral
  votes.
• If theres no clear majority, the House decides
  among the top three.

At first I thought loose construction was a good
idea, but the Louisiana Purchase will be the
death of my party.
