The Second War for Independence and the Upsurge of Nationalism, 1812–1824
1. A Scary War with Britain (pp. 233–240)
a. What do the authors say at the outset is the “supreme lesson” of the War of 1812? The leading a divided and apathetic people into war is a bad idea
b. For two years, the Americans and British fought to a standstill in Canada. What event in Europe in 1814 allowed the British to concentrate all their forces in America? Napoleons power was destroyed
c. After American naval successes on Lake Erie under Admiral Oliver H. Perry and then on Lake Champlain, a British force invaded the Chesapeake region and burned the new capital of Washington to the ground in August 1814. They then were beaten off

2. Nationalism and the “American System” (pp. 240–242)
a. Increased security and self-confidence after the war produced a heightened sense of “nationalism” people associating themselves with the nation first and their respective states second. A national literature developed in the works of Washington Irving and James Fennimore Cooper and in the construction of a new capitol building in Washington A revived Second Bank of the United States was established in 1816 this time with the (support or opposition) of the Jeffersonian Republicans. (Note: Modern students can be excused for finding a discussion about tariff policy a bit boring. This section covers the first of many tariff battles throughout the 1800s. Tariffs today are not a big deal because there is a worldwide trend to reduce duties on imports and because the government gets most of its revenue through income taxes. However, there was no income taxation until 1913 and the government therefore depended almost exclusively on tariff duties for its revenue. So it’s important to have a general understanding.) b. Look at the Tariff Chart on page A57 of the Appendix. At their peak in 1828, tariff duties on imported goods amounted to 60 percent of their value. In 1996, that tariff rate amounted to only about 5 percent. The authors say
(p. 241) that the Tariff of 1816 was the first in history “instituted primarily for protection, not revenue.” *** What is a “protective”
With the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, the revolutionary war was over, and the United States began the arduous task of rebuilding an economy held back by colonialism and destroyed by war. From the 1780s up until the 1810s, the economy was slowly growing and diversifying, however, the War of 1812 halted many of those advanced. The war ruined the United States economy once again, but it allowed it to grow and develop to new heights and become more prosperous than before the war with development of capital stock, population growth, higher prices for export, and a nation expanding to the west. After the revolutionary war, the United States began building the new economy.
It raised the prices of British goods which were usually cheaper than U.S goods. John Randolph, a Jeffersonian Republican Congressman, stated that the Tariff of 1816 government violated true republican principles (Document H). John Randolph says Madison is similar to John Adams who called for the Alien and Sedition Acts which Madison was completely against. Madison even wrote the Virginia Revolution because he was furious about the Alien and Sedition Acts and in the Virginia Revolution he states that the states should have the right to declare a law unconstitutional since they created the federal government (Document C). This tariff also did not follow a strict construction of the Constitution like Madison did before his presidency. Instead it followed a loose construction of the Constitution which is what Federalist believe in. Earlier in 1812, John Adams had said that Madison had his vote in the election because he believed that he would restore taxes that shouldn’t have been repealed (Document G). This shows how the Federalist John Adams supported Madison because he shared some similar views about taxes with
Tariffs in United States history have played important roles in trade policy, political debates and the nation's economic history. A tariff is a tax on an imported good. Each unit of a good that is imported into a country the tariff would increase. Tariffs had enormous affect on the Untied States, main function or purpose of the tariff was to pay the federal budget. At one time tariffs were main source of revenue until Federal income tax began in 1913. Originally this tariff was to help pay for improvements, such as roads, canals, and lighthouses. Tariffs affected southern states negatively; because the southern states weren’t as dependent on manufacturing as the northern states causing the south to not depend on tax from European imports.
In chapters 15 and 16 of John, Jesus prepared his disciples for his departure. Part of that preparation was disclosure of the coming of the Holy Spirit and his work (John 15:26). Immediately preceding this He referred to the rejection of the Jews in spite of the testimony of the miraculous signs he had performed (15:24-25). He then made reference to the testimony of the coming Holy Spirit whom he described as the “Advocate” (15:26) and instructed the apostles that they too must testify. It was the Spirit that fueled their later fulfillment of Jesus’ instructions and accredited their testimony with miracles. The Spirit of Truth bore witness to the truth of their words with his power. In this way, he was, indeed, their advocate as well as their companion in ministry and in their walk with God.
Mr. CEO drummed his fingers against his thigh. “I’ll think about company’s recent PL report. Brainstorm new ideas for an employee recognition program. That’s productive.”
The son of the current Speaker of the Ikarus Council seemed to be the most disturbed at the King’s presence. “Hey!” the chubby boy yelled. Standing shorter than Rayne didn’t intimidate him. He had crooked teeth and a belly that flopped over his belt buckle. “What makes you come out into the streets, freak? I think this might be the second or third time I’ve ever seen you outside the castle in my life.”
The wind howled against the window as the darkness enveloped the night. Todrick swirled the emerald colored serum in the little vial he had created. He held it up against the dim light and admired what had taken him two years of formulating and planning. He caressed the vial as he dedicated most of his time to creating this formula for a creature he has fantasized about. He placed the vial in a brown box that he then locked with a lock and key. He fell asleep comforted knowing that after hours of hard labor he finally finished what he started, even without the knowledge that it would work.
It was time. Eight o’clock in the morning, the right time for a crime. As Meg and Ben approached the door they pulled their disguises on and scanned the surrounding gate. With no guards in sight they went through the underground network of tunnels as planned. They were under the FBI headquarters. “We are going to clear our names once and for all.” Ben said. Climbing up a ladder, the ended up in the mail room just as planned. They would sneak onto the data base and clear their names forever. This wasn't the way they had wanted to do this but it was their only option.
Weeks went by and they had finally got their dance together, and to be honest, they were good. Kat began to warm up to Pete, of course she would never admit it at the expense of her sister being right. And Pete warmed up to Kat. What they had was good, but their tango was even better.
The metal pieces shot through the wolf-like creature’s head, turning it into a black liquid substance before forming back into a head again. Seeing this Malessica started to move away from it. Epsilon followed Malessica, trying to keep a distance from the creature. Dorian had still been in the area, trying to find an opportunity to strike. Once he found his moment, Dorian clenched his right fist tightly sending a punch at the wolf creature. The creature turned its head towards Dorian, avoiding the punch and biting his arm. Dorian’s body started to become visible again, watching the blood drip from his arm.
He woke up to the cacophony of the intercom, which was required in all living pods. It seemed as if the intercoms were everywhere. The sound was spitting it’s daily agitprop which he had to have known of its falsity. It was the year of about 2300 but there was no true evidence of what date it was for information in relation to time has become obsolete.
Xion entered into an uncomfortably small, tacky colored room, completely different from the whimsical forest she saw when she first entered Wonderland. ‘I guess there’s more to Wonderland than I thought,’ She searched the room. ‘There must be a way out of—oh there’s a door, I almost didn't see it.’
‘Lord Fox!’ yelled a voice. The strident voice rang through Lord Fox’s head, bouncing and echoing all the way until he snapped back into consciousness.

Sasuke was ready for them but forget him, his mom came and greeted Hinata before she shut the car door. Neji only wondered about this news. Then remembered he would probably be in charge of telling Hiashi. He welcomed himself in the mansion. Sasuke only walked by.
