THOMAS JEFFERSON VIDEO QUIZ

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE
The Port of New Orleans, located at the mouth of the Mississippi River, was a
very important port for northern states like Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee
These states depended on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers to trade their
products to other markets.
Spain controlled the Port of New Orleans and the Louisiana Territory. After
years of unsuccessfully trying to control trade and keep out American
settlers, Spain decided to sell the territory to France and make it their
problem.
When the Port of New Orleans was closed in 1802, Thomas Jefferson sent
Robert R. Livingston and James Monroe to France to by New Orleans.
What happened next??

THE COMING OF WAR…
When war b/w Britain and France occurred in 1803, each side
wanted to stop America from helping the other.
British searched American ships, forced British runaways to return to
the Navy, and even began strategy of impressment (the practice
of forcing people to serve in the army or the navy)
Jefferson’s Answer: The Embargo Act of 1807 (fails terribly!)
Congress’s Answer: The Non-Intercourse Act of 1809 (only bans
trade with GB, France, and their colonies; law was still
unsuccessful)

Tecumseh not to resist the power of the Americans
When Tecumseh left his village to gain followers, Harrison attacked

Even though Tecumseh was defeated, the fact that the British were
arming Native Americans still enraged Americans
