Chapter 9: 1) Document: "The Partisan Press at Work” a. What does Callender accuse Jefferson of? What evidence does he provide? i. Callender accused Jefferson of fathering children with one of his slaves, Sally Hemings, through the course of a long-term affair. He provides so much evidence throughout the first paragraph. In the first paragraph it explains, “It is well known that the man, who it the lieth the people to honor, keeps, and for many years past has kept, and concubine, one of his slaves. Her name is Sally” (121). Has a son that looks just like him. And two daughters with her. Jefferson and Sally were on a boat by themselves with no chaperone, he explains which was improper at the time. b. What does Callender suggest about how the press, including his newspaper, usually report on the sexual relations of important powerful men? i. Callender about how the press usually reports on the sexual relations of important powerful men that “The establishment of this single fact would have rendered his election impossible. We reason thus; that if the allegation had been true, it was sure to have been ascertained and advertised by his enemies, in every corner of the continent” (121). Although he says in his press how he suggests about how the press usually reports on sexual relations of important powerful men it does say in the introductory paragraph that after Jefferson's election, he began to turn against Jefferson when he failed to make him postmaster of Richmond VA. So, most of the writing that he said was all revenge for Jefferson. c. What does this document suggest about the press and its role in the ideals of republican virtue? i. 2) Vignette: "Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings" a. Why might Jefferson have chosen the companionship of a slave rather than a white woman? i. Jefferson might have chosen the companionship of a slave rather than a white woman because he was a slave master, and he could make his slave do whatever he would like to. In the old days, slave masters would often rape their female slaves, but Jefferson wanted a relationship with Sally. Jefferson also kept his relationship discreet since it wasn't normal for slave masters to be in a relationship with a slave or even black and whites having a relationship. b. What happened when a slave owner like Jefferson had sexual relations with a slave that produced children? i. When a slave owner like Jefferson had sexual relations with a slave who produced children, they became the slave property of the master. Sent Jefferson was their master eventually when they got the DNA test, Jefferson freed the remaining two of Sally's living children which was Madison and Eston in his will before he passed away. All of the slaves could not leave until the master told them that they were free. But with the sexual relation, it wasn't uncommon in the southern plantation. But instead, the masters would

rape their slave children who were often the result of white masters and their female slaves. c. How were three of the Hemings children able to live their free lives as whites? Why might they choose that? Why might Madison not choose that? i. Jefferson freed the remaining two of Sally's living children which were Madison and Easton and by his will, there were 2 more children that needed to be free also. “The other two had been allowed to leave the plantation as early as 1821 and moved to Washington DC where they passed into the white society, likely changing their name, and disappeared to history” (126). After Jefferson let the other two leave the plantation in 1821, I think they were able to live their free lives as whites because they were able to get away from the slave master. I think Madison didn't want to choose that because maybe she was proud of who he was. He lived as an African American for the rest of his life so being freed from the master helped him not be a slave. Chapter 10: 3) Document: "Jackson Letter to Georgia Governor William Rabun" a. What was Andrew Jackson’s complaint to the governor of Georgia? i. Throughout the letter that Andrew Jackson wrote, his complaint to the governor of Georgia was that he was concerned that the governor of Georgia was kicking the Cherokee tribe off of their land due to their discovery of gold. He explained that this was a mistreatment of the Cherokee tribe. Also talked about how “a governor of a state should assume the rights to make war against an Indian tribe in perfect peace with and under the protection of the United States; Is assuming a responsibility, that I trust you will be able to excuse to the government of the United States, to which you will have to answer, and though which I had so recently passed, promising the aged that remained at home my protection in taking the warriers with me as the campaign is as unaccountable as strange” (130). b. What response did he suggest? i. His response to the governor was very stern throughout his letter. He stated, “You Sir as governor of a state within my military division have no right to give a military order whilst I am in the field, and this being an open and violent infringement of the treaty with the Creek Indian Captain Wright must be prosecuted and punished for this outrageous murder, and I have ordered him to be arrested and confined in irons until the pleasure of the president of the United states is known upon the subject. I call upon you as governor of Georgia to aid in carrying into effect my orders for his arrest and confinement, which I will trust be afforded, and captain Wright brought to condign punishment for his unprecedented murder” (130). He is very passionate that the governor does what he suggests or there will be consequences. c. What does this letter suggest about US-Indian relations in the wake of the War of 1812?

i. In the second paragraph he explains to the governor how he should know the rights and the peace they have with the Indians. In The War of 1812, the aftermath was that they had made peace with them and simply taking away their land and rights would just ruin the perfect peace that they have with each other. He explains, “A governor of a state should assume the rights to make war against an Indian tribe in perfect peace with and under the protection of the United States; Is assuming a responsibility, that I trust you will be able to excuse to the government of the United States, to which you will have to answer, and though which I had so recently passed, promising the aged that remained at home my protection in taking the warriers with me as the campaign is as unaccountable as strange” (130). 4) Vignette: "Henry Clay and the Tariff of 1824" a. For clay, what was the purpose of tariffs? What arguments did he make in favor of the tariff of 1824? i. Throughout the passage Claire has proposed many different arguments that did him in favor of the terror in 1824. “The tariff was one of the proposed economic policies which he called the American system. To promote economic growth, Clay wanted the federal government to support the building of infrastructure that would include turnpikes which would be well-made roads as well as canals and later roads. A network of well-made roads, and other means of transportation, would fertility rate the growth of a national economy” (137). Clay wanted the tariffs to build a better economy and for the growth of the economy too. He also wanted to maintain greater economic stability and that as a source of funding entrepreneurial activity. He argued that “the sole object of the tariff is to tax the produce of foreign industry with the view of promoting American industry. The tax is exclusively leveled at foreign industry. If it's subjected any part of American industry to burthens, that is an effect not intended” (137). b. What were the reasons Clay could secure passages of the tariff in 1824? i. He was a very strong advocate of the American System as they would, “promote economic growth, Clay wanted the federal government to support the building of infrastructure that would include turnpikes which would be well-made roads as well as canals and later roads. A network of well-made roads, and other means of transportation, would fertility rate the growth of a national economy” (137). But some conflicts came up, so he made a compromise with the Congress. Making adjustments to the tariff rates would accommodate various interests. c. What broader implications did the tariff of 1812 have for the future of the United States? i. “But Claim managed to create an alliance between northern and western congressmen and senators. He convinced many in that reason that failure to protect American industries from foreign competition would leave the nation “doomed to behold our industry languish and decay” and would leave the American economy “overwhelming under the influence of foreigners”.
