Early Republic Timeline: Key Events of the Early US Presidencies
- 1. Early Republic Timeline Unit 6: Early Republic, Day 1
- 2. Let’s revisit where we’ve been in history…
- 3. Native Americans travelled from the land bridge to North and South America
- 4. Europeans from Spain, France, and England began to search for a new route to Asian markets
- 6. And stumbled upon North America
- 7. Natives were not always friendly with the new settlers
- 8. Which eventually led to the French and Indian War (against the British and American Colonists)
- 9. Following the war, the British and Colonists began having their own problems
- 10. So the Colonists sought independence from King George III (and England)
- 11. After gaining independence, the Colonists Americans needed to set up their own form of government
- 12. This new form of government was called the Constitution and replaced the first form of government: The Articles of Confederation
- 13. The new Constitution gave a bunch of freedoms to the Americans
- 14. Which leads us to: the first five President’s of the United States of America (and GEORGE WASHINGTON!)
- 15. Who’s ready for a video?
- 16. 52 8.1A New Republic Timeline 8.1B
- 17. No More Taxes! Unit 6: Early Republic, Day 2
- 18. Who’s ready for a video?
- 19. The newly formed government of the United States needed money after the Revolutionary War
- 20. So a National Bank (The Bank of the United States) was created
- 21. Because of the Elastic Clause ‘ (Congress can stretch their limited power to get their jobs done)
- 22. So they figured a bank was a “necessary and proper” way to make money
- 23. So to get the money needed to start a bank, Congress did what they were allowed: they levied (charged) a tax
- 24. Now, lets talk taxes
- 25. Taxation • High taxes take money from the consumer so the government can provide services that benefit the economy and citizens • Low taxes leave more money for the consumer to spend and stimulate the economy
- 26. Anyway, farmers in Pennsylvania were unhappy about this tax levy (charge)
- 27. So they rebelled against the tax on grains used to make their whiskey
- 28. Well, Washington wasn’t happy about this
- 29. And made a couple plans • To create a group of people to help him make decisions (Presidential Cabinet)
- 30. And made a couple plans • To set up a court system to enforce the existing rules (Federal Judiciary Act 1789)
- 31. So he called on his Cabinet for advice
- 32. And he sent federal troops to maintain national security
- 33. The rebelling tax evaders fled
- 34. The Whiskey Rebellion (tarring and feathering of a tax collector)
- 35. 54 8.5A Whiskey Rebellion 8.5B
- 36. Neutrality and Farewell Unit 6: Early Republic, Day 3
- 37. Who’s ready for a video?
- 38. So Washington was running the United States
- 39. And he had great leadership qualities:
- 40. But England and France were still having problems with each other (Napoleonic Wars, 1789 – 1816)
- 41. And Washington knew how to deal with it:
- 42. Washington declared neutrality for the good of the United States
- 43. Additionally, he wanted peace within the United States because…
- 44. Political parties had already started to divide the country
- 45. 8.5C 55 Political Parties Democratic-Republicans • Limited national government • Strictly following the Constitution • No National Bank or tariffs (taxes) • Agricultural economy Federalists • Strong national government • Loosely following the Constitution • Wanted a National Bank and tariffs (taxes) • Manufacturing and shipping-based economy
- 46. Political parties were created to support or oppose issues of a strong central (federal) government
- 47. And they faced the same issues our political parties face today…
- 48. 56 8.5C Write your Congressman • You are George Washington from the past – Warn against involving the United States in issues of the rest of the world (foreign policy: Neutrality Proclamation) – Warn against political parties fighting over issues in the United States (domestic policy)
- 49.

- 51. John Adams Unit 6: Early Republic, Day 4
- 52. Who’s ready for a video?
- 53. John Adams, we remember, defended the Redcoats in the Boston Massacre trial
- 54. Adams also worked with good friend Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence
- 55. And was George Washington’s Vice President
- 56. After becoming President, John Adams inherited some of the same problems George Washington had to deal with
- 57. Adams didn’t want to involve the United States with the Napoleonic Wars
- 58. So the French began to take American ships to keep the U.S. from trading with England
- 59. After stealing our ships, the French agents who held them hostage asked the U.S. for $10,250,000 to get the ships back
- 60. Because we didn’t know their names, they were called X, Y, and Z
- 61. Congress refused to pay the ransom
- 62. Even though many Americans thought we should go to war with England by our side, against France
- 63. Who’s ready for a video?
- 64. President John Adams had already upset some Americans with how the XYZ Affair was handled
- 65. So Adams tried to make the United States stronger and build up our military force
- 66. But he and he (and his Federalist Party) put in place the Alien and Sedition Acts
- 67. To stop foreigners, like the French, from threatening a war with the United States
- 68. 8.5A 57 8.5E Alien and Sedition Acts Alien Act • Expel (kick out) dangerous aliens from the country • Deport aliens from enemy countries during times of war • Lengthen the period of naturalization for immigrants from 5 years to 14 years • Silence criticism of the Federalist Party Sedition Act • Punishment of certain crimes against the United States • Included writing, printing, or saying false or scandalous things against the United States government • It also made it a crime to try to get others to hate the people of the United States
