Early Republic Timeline 
Unit 6: Early Republic, Day 1
Let’s revisit where we’ve been in history…
Native Americans travelled from the land 
bridge to North and South America
Europeans 
from Spain, 
France, and 
England 
began to 
search for a 
new route to 
Asian markets
And stumbled upon North America
Natives were not always friendly with the 
new settlers
Which eventually led to the French and 
Indian War (against the British and 
American Colonists)
Following the war, the British and Colonists 
began having their own problems
So the Colonists sought independence from 
King George III (and England)
After gaining independence, the Colonists 
Americans needed to set up their own form 
of government
This new form of 
government was 
called the 
Constitution and 
replaced the first 
form of 
government: The 
Articles of 
Confederation
The new Constitution gave a bunch of 
freedoms to the Americans
Which leads us to: the first five President’s of 
the United States of America 
(and GEORGE WASHINGTON!)

No More Taxes! 
Unit 6: Early Republic, Day 2
Who’s ready for

The newly 
formed 
government of 
the United 
States needed 
money after 
the 
Revolutionary 
War
So a National Bank 
(The Bank of the United States) was created
Because of the Elastic Clause 
‘ 
(Congress can stretch their limited power to 
get their jobs done)
So they figured a bank was a “necessary and 
proper” way to make money
So to get the money needed to start a bank, 
Congress did what they were allowed: 
they levied (charged) a tax
Now, lets talk taxes
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
Anyway, farmers in 
Pennsylvania were 
unhappy about this 
tax levy (charge)
So they 
rebelled 
against the tax 
on grains used 
to make their 
whiskey
Well, Washington wasn’t happy about this
And made a couple plans 
• To create a group of people to help him make 
decisions (Presidential Cabinet)
And made a couple plans 
• To set up a court system to enforce the existing 
rules (Federal Judiciary Act 1789)
So he called on his Cabinet for advice
And he sent federal troops to maintain 
national security
The rebelling 
tax evaders 
fled
The Whiskey Rebellion 
(tarring and feathering of a tax collector)

Neutrality and Farewell 
Unit 6: Early Republic, Day 3
Who’s ready for

So Washington was running 
the United States
And he had great leadership qualities:
But England and France were still having 
problems with each other 
(Napoleonic Wars, 1789 – 1816)
And Washington knew how to deal with it:
Washington 
declared 
neutrality for the 
good of the 
United States
Additionally, he wanted peace within the 
United States because…
Political parties had already started to divide 
the country
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
Political parties were created to support or 
oppose issues of a strong central (federal) 
government
And they faced the same issues our political 
parties face today…
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)

John Adams 
Unit 6: Early Republic, Day 4
Who’s ready 
for a video?
John Adams, we remember, defended the 
Redcoats in the Boston Massacre trial
Adams also worked with good friend 
Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of 
Independence
And was George Washington’s Vice 
President
After becoming President, John Adams 
inherited some of the same problems 
George Washington had to deal with
Adams didn’t want to involve the United 
States with the Napoleonic Wars
So the French began to take American ships 
to keep the U.S. from trading with England
After stealing our ships, the French agents 
who held them hostage asked the U.S. for 
$10,250,000 to get the ships back
Because we didn’t know their names, they 
were called X, Y, and Z
Congress refused to pay the ransom
Even though many Americans thought we 
should go to war with England by our side, 
against France
Who’s ready for a video?
President John Adams 
had already upset 
some Americans with 
how the XYZ Affair 
was handled
So Adams tried to make the United States 
stronger and build up our military force
But he and he (and his Federalist Party) 
put in place the 
Alien and Sedition Acts
To stop foreigners, like the French, from 
threatening a war with the United States
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
Now, lets answer the 
Document-Based 
Questions (DBQs) to 
further understand 
America during the 
Presidency of John 
Adams
