1. It means that without suffering and rebellion nothing could be accomplished. Jefferson supported people who wanted to change some laws they thought were wrong. I don't think he thought it would turn into another war.
2. Massachusetts passed a state constitution that barred middle-class and poor people from voting or holding office
3. There were three main debated topics that are usually considered the main compromises of the constitution. One, the position of President/Executive Branch. (This was between the federalists who wanted a strong central government & the anti-federalists who wanted a strong state government) Two slavery. It was only still allowed because of the insistence of the Southern colonies because on their economies. (and slavery couldn’t be presented in a negative way) lastly three, congress would have two main parts, the House of Representatives and the Senate. It was decided that the House of Reps would be based on the number of people in the state and the Senate positions would be two per state regardless of population
4. A plan for the structure of the new government for America. The key points were that there was a 2 part legislature, an executive chosen by the legislature, and a judiciary chosen by the legislature.

6. The Executive Branch, Judicial Branch, and Legislative Branch all make sure that the other does not gain to much power.
7. John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, & James Madison were the writers. They were a series of essays that attempted to convince the public that a strong federal government was the right choice.

11. It had British withdraw soldiers from last outposts in US
12. farmers on the frontier of Western Pennsylvania protested against the heavy taxes on whiskey.
13. Two republicans & anti-federalists, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied in votes. The House of Reps, still under Federalist control, would decide who became President.

14. Adam’s Secretary of State, and the US Supreme Court Chief Justice starting at 1801.
15. They were short on money. They were under Napoleon Bonaparte’s control and he was at war with other European countries but still wanted a piece of the New World.
16. They were sent by Jefferson to accomplish a number of things: extend commerce (trade with Natives), get America into the fur trade, feel out political and military uses of the West, and collect scientific info about the land.
½ of the journey: Lewis & Clark set out in the winter of 1803 and traveled Northward up rivers in boats, next they traveled Westward until they reached the Rockies in present day Montana where they wintered, finally they crossed with the famous Sacagawea and reached the Oregon coast. The second ½ of the journey: they turn around on the coast of modern day Oregon and began their journey home over land, they crossed the Rockies and split up to explore alternative routes, then they met up again and ended their journey back in St. Louis on Sep 23, 1806
17. Hamilton used his influence to become Governor of New York, defeating Aaron Burr. I think his actions were ok. Anything goes when you want something, and he didn’t specifically cheat by talking to people. It ended with Burr challenging Hamilton to a duel; during which Burr shot and fatally wounded Hamilton
18. The Embargo Act prohibited all exports into America. The idea was to halt any economic benefit for Britain, as a result there was a lot more impressments of soldiers aboard ships the British were trying to get more people in their military. Jefferson wanted to keep America out of the European Wars that were going on.
19. He attempted to create a barrier on the Ohio River so that the US would stay East of the Ohio, and no further expansion would occur
20. General William Harrison and his men were sent to watch Native movement. Tenskwata, Tecumseh’s brother, led an attack on his men.

This battle ended that major Native rebellion/retaliation
21. America did not have experienced Generals and war leaders in charge of the military and wasn’t that effective, on the other hand England wasn’t particularly interested in another war, and were fighting a war with Napoleon. Also, they saw America as a valuable trading partner
22. Americans & British were unaware that peace had been made, British then attacked Americans with a much larger army. However, with General Andrew Jackson in charge and some French help, artillery and sharpshooting are used to destroy the British, who receive massive losses of over 2000 dead. Americans loose less than 20 dead and some wounded
23. That the US would not tolerate intervention in American affairs from Europe, and America would not intervene in European affairs. It was a declaration of a hope for increased isolation for America, it marked the beginning of us meddling in South American affairs.
24. Missouri would be a slave state, but slavery wouldn’t be allowed anywhere north of Missouri’s southern border
25. The election was once again a tie and the house had to decide, Clay held a LOT of power with the House. One candidate, Henry Clay of Kentucky decided to support John Quincy Adams as President, in return Adams elected Clay to be Secretary of State once he won from the House vote. This sort of bargain circumvented the voting which was not right in the eyes of the people
26. Murderer, adulterer, mean
27. No he was not he just wanted land, if there were black, brits, or french in his way he would have killed then to, There just happened to be Indians in the way this time. The Natives called him Long Knife. He fought in the Creek War of 1814, and took land away from the Creek natives by using Cherokee against them. In 1819 he fought in an illegal war in Florida, where he killed a lot of Natives and destroyed many Spanish forts, forcing the Spanish to sell Florida to America. His policy instructed America that they would remove Natives from their current lands and place them elsewhere. Resisting was not an option, or else destruction.
28. almost everything he did were to please the wishes of the middle class people. He was suspicious of the upper classes, he beleived in freedom of economic opportunity, and the ability to rise above your class with hard work.

Questions 11/29/11
1. The legislative branch: they collect taxes, coin money, and regulate trade. They can also declare war. It also makes all laws needed to fulfill the functions givin to it as stated in the constitution.
The executive branch: headed by the president, caries outthe nations laws and policies. The president also conduct relations with foreign countries.
The judicial branch: the supream court. They hear court cases, laws passed by congress, and disputes between states.
2. Both the house and the senate must pass a bill for it to become a law. The president can chech congress by vetoing, or rejecting, the bill. How ever, congress can then check the president by overriding, or voting down, the veto. To override a veto, two-thirds of the members of both houses of congress must vote for the bill.
3. The number of representatives are determined by the population of the state and the two people from each state were in the Senate. The other compromise was to count each enslaved person as three-fifths of a free person for both taxation and representation.
4.John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton.
5. The bill of right made sure one branch of government didn't abuse their power, some states demanded one because they didn't want the central government to become so powerful that it was like having another king
6. The main argument was that the new constitution would take away the American people's liberties. also that the central government would become so powerful that they would forget about the states and the people and favor the richer people over a common person. So basically the anti-federalists thought that the new constitution would give the central government to much power.

Chapter 5 section 2 notes!
- In 1786 the British officers thought that the colonists were going to rebel so they sent soldiers to be housed in the colonies. this made the colonists angry.
- In 1770 the colonists went on a RAMPAGE!!!!!!! They attacked the British soldiers with primitive weapons and the Brits didn't know what to do so they ended up firring back and so 5 of the colonists dies. This was called the Boston Massacre.
- After the Boston Massacre people started boycotting British goods so the British took the taxes off of all goods except tea. the colonist thought this was a great victory
- The East India Trading Company was almost bankrupt so the British let them ship tea and other goods to the colonies with almost no taxes and they also allowed them to not sell to British merchants and sell directly to the stores, this made their goods a lot cheaper.
- This made the colonist angry so they boycotted tea as well.
- They also made all tea ships that came into the harbor turn around and not unload.
- In 1772 the ships in Boston refused to leave so the colonist dressed up as Indians and threw approximately 350 boxes of tea into the harbor as a protest.
- This made the Brits angry so in 1774 they made it so town meetings were not allowed and also that trade ships would not be allowed into Boston until they payed for the tea they destroyed. They also made it so the colonists had to house Red Coats.

French and indian war questions
1.) To the french the importance of this fort was to try to connect their forces in Canada and New Orleans. The British want it to be able to expand West bound and it is a strategic position to be in. The Indians just want to be on the winning side because if the other sides takes over the land then they will be left with no land at all.
2.) because if they connect Canada with New Orleans then the British can not move anymore eastbound then what they are right now.
3.) it was the Iroquois League which is multiple Indian groups.
4.) General Braddock, George Washington, and the Half King
5.) He is very ambitious and rarely gave up.

Mystic Question
1.) I think the relations ship was good for both sides but better for the English. The indians traded things that were easy for them to get like furs and shells and the English traded things that were easy for them to get like pot and guns but the english took over more and more land and the indians got less and less land so the English got a better deal of the two.
2.) They were the most feared and respected tribe because they were the strongest and had the greatest numbers. They were at war with a few of the other tribes but most of the other tribes knew they could not beat them.
3.) They went there to set up a group of religious colonies for people to live in.
4.) When it came to land owning the Indians thought that they could move from place to place to grow different things and when they came back that the land was still there but the English thought that in order to own land you had to have permanent settlements and live there for more than a few months out of the year. when it came to work and gender the Indian women had a place of power and say so in the tribe and they also did just as much work as the men. in the English colonies the women did almost nothing but had no say so what so ever and the Indians thought the English were babying their women. When it came to war the Indians had rules and ways of doing things like not killing the women and the children but the English would do anything to win.
5.) The dutch just wanted the things that the Indians had and were willing to pay for it but the English wanted the Indians land to colonize and grow and they were willing to get it any way they could.
6.) they were unhappy because the Indians thought that they owned the land because they used it from time to time but the English thought that they only way you could claim the land was if you had permanent settlements on the land so there was a little conflict in the way that the English took over the land.
7.) i think they fought with the English because they wanted to get rid of the strongest Indian tribe and hopefully become the strongest themselves. i was not surprised by this because this was one of the easiest ways to get rid of the Pequot.
8.) Yes i think that the outcome could be different if the English asked if the land was being used or if they could have it, and if they couldn't ask the Indians where another good place was.
9.) A few of the Indians survived the massacre and repopulated the tribe. I think it would feel good to know that you brought back an entire civilization.
10.) it said that the Pequot Indians could have this little bit of land that ended up getting reduced anyway but it kind of took away all their power and culture.
11.) They used both documents written by the English but they also used actual Pequot Indians and what they said. I would use the same sources that they used to write the documentary.
12.) It gave the English more power and land and it also gave power to different Indian tribes in the united states. It made Americas largest and most succecfull casino.

ZINN!
LOSERS!!!!!! This is who the American historian Howard Zinn set his focus on. He didnt want to be like most historians who told history from the view point of the winners. In the chapter I have read of his book, A People's History Of The United States I have had my opinion changed, which as most of you know is not easy. I always thought that Christopher Columbus was a great explorer who discoverd America. I now realize that he was some one who took advantage of the Indians like most of the English of the time, but he killed of half a population. He did this to get gold to bring back but in his efforts he worked many Indians to death and killed the rest because of something they did or because he felt like it. This has made my opinion change of me thinking he was a great explorer to me thinking he was just an ASS!!
