During James Monroe's presidency (1817-1825), two major issues arose. The Missouri Crisis of 1819 dealt with Missouri applying for statehood as a slave state, threatening the balance between free and slave states. Henry Clay proposed the Missouri Compromise of 1820 to allow Missouri in as a slave state and Maine as a free state, with slavery prohibited above latitude 36°30' in the Louisiana Territory. Foreign policy concerns under Monroe included preventing European powers from interfering in the Americas and colonizing there, which became known as the Monroe Doctrine. Andrew Jackson was then elected president in 1828, championing the concept of Jacksonian democracy that emphasized the will of the common people, though it had its limits regarding groups

American REvolution
The American Revolution was caused by growing tensions between the 13 colonies and British rule. Key factors included the colonies wanting more self-governance and equal rights to those in Britain, as well as opposition to new taxes being levied by the British to pay for wars. As the colonies felt they were not being properly represented or consulted on decisions affecting them, and their allegiance to Britain no longer provided clear benefits, they united to fight for independence from the British Empire.
Gerrymandering and Filibusters
Gerrymandering is the manipulation of electoral district boundaries to favor one party over another. It is typically done by the party in power and involves techniques like packing opposition voters into a single district or cracking them among multiple districts to dilute their voting power. The term originated from a salamander-shaped district drawn in Massachusetts in 1812 under Governor Elbridge Gerry, though the practice has continued to be controversial and subject to legal challenges over its use for partisan gain rather than representation.

While losing an election can be frustrating for a political party, it can also have benefits. The formation of the Democratic party by Andrew Jackson's supporters following the controversial 1824 election shows how opposition parties emerging in response to losses can impact American politics. By blocking John Quincy Adams' policies and promoting Jackson's populist message, the new Democratic party gained popularity and influence, allowing Jackson to win the presidency in 1828 and establish himself as a champion of the common man. Thus, losing an election can motivate a party to better organize and refine its message to eventually attain victory.

Communism, McCarthy, and the Salem Witch Trials
After World War II, the United States and Soviet Union became enemies due to their opposing ideologies of democracy and communism. This began an arms race and period of espionage between the two countries as they competed globally and suspected infiltration by the other. During the 1950s, Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy claimed that communists had infiltrated the US government, leading to widespread witch hunts against suspected communists across various industries such as Hollywood. This climate of fear and suspicion became known as McCarthyism.

The presidential election_of_1800
The Presidential Election of 1800 was a contentious one between the Federalist and Democratic-Republican parties. The Federalists attacked Thomas Jefferson with smears, while the Democratic-Republicans criticized the Federalists. Alexander Hamilton secretly tried to undermine John Adams's campaign. The election resulted in a tie between Jefferson and Aaron Burr, which was decided after 36 ballots in the House of Representatives. This led to the passage of the 12th Amendment to prevent another such situation by having electors vote separately for President and Vice President.
McCarthyism & The Crucible
Joseph McCarthy was a U.S. senator in the early 1950s who led a controversial campaign against supposed Communist infiltration of the U.S. government. He accused many people of being Communists without providing evidence. This period became known as McCarthyism. Arthur Miller wrote the play The Crucible in 1953 as an allegory for McCarthyism, depicting the Salem witch trials as a metaphor for the anti-communist hysteria and investigations. The play was a critique of the tactics used during the McCarthy era like interrogations and accusations without proof.
What is McCarthyism? And how did it happen?
In the 1950s during the McCarthy era in the United States, thousands of individuals were aggressively investigated by government panels seeking to expose suspected Communists. Named after Senator Joseph McCarthy, the phenomenon of McCarthyism destroyed lives and careers through these political witch hunts. The video traces the history of how McCarthyism took off in the United States as a campaign to root out Communists from positions of influence in government and society.
Expanding Nation
Westward expansion both strengthened and divided the United States. It initiated as a concept of Manifest Destiny to expand the nation's territory from coast to coast. As the nation expanded westward, tensions rose over slavery and sectionalism between the North and South. Westward expansion also displaced Native Americans who were forced onto reservations with little regard to their civil liberties. The expansion influenced economic development and population growth in new urban areas in the West. It also contributed to the spread of democratic ideals and empowerment of common citizens.
Chapter 17 - Reconstruction
After the Civil War, Reconstruction aimed to reunite the nation and define the rights of freed slaves. However, the plans of Lincoln, Congress, and Andrew Johnson differed on how to reintegrate the Southern states and whether and how to grant African Americans citizenship and suffrage. The assassination of Lincoln and rise of Radical Republican control led to strengthened federal authority and protection of African American civil rights through amendments and legislation. However, the end of Reconstruction saw a decline in Republican support and rise of Democratic "Redeemers" in the South, restricting African American rights and political power through violent intimidation, segregation laws, and electoral barriers.
Eisenhower
Eisenhower served as the 34th US President from 1953 to 1960. Some key events of his presidency included establishing NASA in response to the Soviet launch of Sputnik, building the interstate highway system, enforcing desegregation of schools following the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision despite resistance from some southern states, and warning about the growing influence of the "military-industrial complex" in his farewell address. His presidency saw continued tensions with the Soviet Union during the Cold War as well as the beginning of deeper US involvement in Vietnam.
Urban Political Machines
During President Ulysses S. Grant's administration from 1868 to 1872, there were several major political scandals involving corruption, including the Credit Mobilier scandal and the Whiskey Ring scandal. Political machines like New York City's Tammany Hall, led by William Tweed, also engaged in widespread corruption. These scandals hurt Republicans in the 1872 presidential election, where Horace Greeley ran as a Democrat and Liberal Republican candidate against Grant, though Greeley died just after the election before the results were finalized. The Panic of 1873, known as the "Crime of '73," further damaged Republicans and led to the formation of third parties like the Greenback Party focused on monetary policy issues.

Black men gained the right to vote and held over 600 state legislature seats and 16 Congressional seats. However, the Ku Klux Klan used violence and intimidation tactics against blacks and Republicans. After federal troops withdrew from the South in 1877, Southern states passed Jim Crow laws enforcing racial segregation and restricting black voting through poll taxes and literacy tests, limiting the rights African Americans had gained.

Women's Suffrage
The American Woman Suffrage Movement spanned from 1848 to 1920 and sought to expand voting rights to women. It began at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 where women and men demanded equality and the right for women to vote. Over the following decades, suffragists advocated state-by-state for women's suffrage and pushed for a constitutional amendment, facing opposition from those who felt women were too emotional or fragile. By the early 1900s, more women were joining the cause. After suffragists engaged in more militant tactics, the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920, guaranteeing all American citizens the right to vote regardless of sex.
Era ofgoodfeeling
The Era of Good Feelings from 1816-1824 was characterized by a lack of partisan conflict following the demise of the Federalist party. James Monroe was elected president twice during this period with little opposition.

Key figures discussed include Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, and John Quincy Adams. The era saw the first peaceful transfer of power between political parties, expansion of the country through purchases and exploration, and growing nationalism and confidence on the international stage.
Elections Of 1824 And 1828
The 1824 US presidential election resulted in no candidate receiving a majority of electoral votes, leading to a contested election in the House of Representatives. Henry Clay threw his support behind John Quincy Adams, and Adams was elected president. Critics alleged a "corrupt bargain" between Clay and Adams, giving Clay the position of Secretary of State. This hurt Adams' popularity and set the stage for the 1828 election, where Andrew Jackson defeated Adams amid accusations of corruption. The 1828 election marked a shift in American politics as the western states gained more influence.
jefferson to jackson
During the 1800 presidential election:
- Electors had two votes each for president, often voting for candidates from their own party
- No candidate received a majority, so the election was decided by the House of Representatives
- Alexander Hamilton convinced Federalists to support Thomas Jefferson over Aaron Burr
- The election featured intense mudslinging between the parties
The election of Andrew Jackson in 1828 established the principle of "Jacksonian democracy," with Jackson claiming to represent the interests of the common man over wealthy elites. His victory also led to the final split of the Democratic-Republican party into Democrats and National Republicans. As president, Jackson implemented the "spoils system" of replacing government officials with political allies.
The Jackson Era
The political system changed under President Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) as he expanded democracy. Jackson opposed the national bank and vetoed its recharter, believing it helped elites. He also increased direct election of government officials and gave jobs to his supporters, establishing the spoils system. However, these changes increased sectional tensions between North and South over states' rights and the tariff that threatened the Union.
Election
The 1824 presidential election saw four candidates from the Democratic-Republican party vie for the presidency: Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, William Crawford, and Henry Clay.
