The New Nation

I believe that Thomas Jefferson moved us closer to the nation we set out to be with the Embargo Act because it helped us progress towards providing for the common defense. During this time France and Britain were at war but Jefferson wanted to stay neutral with them and continue trade, but when Britain passed the Order Of Council—which states that all ships trading with France had to first pull up in the British port, pay a duty, and get a license—Napoleon Bonaparte, the emperor of France was angered by this and decided to retaliate and pass the Milan Decree which stated that any ship that stopped in compliance with the Order Of Council would be treated as a British ship and subjected to seizure. Jefferson then passed the Embargo Act which stopped Americans from trading with foreign countries until it was safe. As a result, our ships weren’t in danger of being taken by the

Jefferson grasped the understanding of the “new nation.” He wanted the nation to flourish in separation from the British empire and King George III. His foreign policy regarding the deal with Napoleon Bonaparte assisted the farmers, which led to

President Thomas jefferson was looking to keep American goods flowing oversee and, at the same time to keep America out of foreign wars. Britain and France were at war with each other both sides thought that American ships were supplying the other with food and weapons. Jefferson has thought that Britain and France would be devastated when they didn't receive their regular shipments and goods.

As a declaration of neutrality, Jefferson passed the Embargo Act. Its purpose was to hopefully change the minds of the British and French so that they would stop fighting. This greatly angered the Americans because trade was stopped and the economy weakened (Document F). Jefferson had to empower the government to enforce this Act which contradicted his belief of a strong central government. Jefferson and Madison slowly began to meld the opposing views of federalism and anti federalism into one mesh of Federalist-Republicanism.

Because of the previous commander and chief, Thomas Jefferson releasing the Embargo Act of 1807, an act that halted all trade with Europe. Traders income was hitting rock bottom, in other words, plummeting severely because of large revenue from Europe. In Document A, a man complains about how halted trade with Britain is effecting the country over all and the details of a major complaint. According to the text in Document A it states, “Great Britain in defiance of incontestable right, captures every American vessel bound to, or returning from, a port where commerce is not favored; enslaves our men, and in spite of our complaints and protests and persevered aggressions”. This quote explains that majority of the country may have been complaining about this Act because the way he had described it seemed to be a major issue in the United States. Overall there seemed to be an issue with not receiving certain items meaning it would be very beneficial to end the Embargo Act in result of higher income and less suffering from American

When Thomas Jefferson was elected as the third U.S. president in the elections of 1800. The country was experiencing an enlightenment change. American citizens were asking for change and participation in government. For instance, women’s role in society change a little, receiving more recognition and role playing in politics and society. In addition, slaves were also looking for chances. After Haiti independence in 1804, slaves in American were motivated and determined to fight for their freedom.With all the socio economic problems going on in the country Jefferson received many critics and disapprove from Americans especially from the opposite party. One of the Jefferson's main concern was to maintain the country stability and peace. As a

During the Jeffersonian Era, there was a dramatic role switch between Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and President Thomas Jefferson. Some historians argue that Jefferson was hypocritical in his administration, while others argue that he was simply being practical and pragmatic. During his tenure as Secretary of State, Jefferson heavily opposed Alexander Hamilton’s fiscal policy, mainly the funding on war debts. An avid participant of the Democratic-Republican party, Jefferson favored states’ rights and local control, and worked to combat against the principle of a strong federal government. He also heavily opposed the Jay Treaty because he felt that closer economic ties with Great Britain would only strengthen Hamilton’s Federalist Party, promote aristocracy and undercut Republicanism. During Jefferson’s presidency, he disregarded many of his former principles and restricted civil liberties that Americans held. The Embargo Act, which made export goods illegal in the US and was highly unpopular by many Americans. The act went as far as to prohibit the export of all products, by land or by sea, to any select destination. This strategy of isolating the American economy sent many local economies spiraling downward into a depression and raised unemployment rates dramatically. Jefferson was faced with the daunting task of managing a newborn nation, ensuring national safety, and at the same time juggling with the responsibility of not infringing upon American civil liberties.

One reason that The Declaration of Independence was so influential was that Thomas Jefferson’s claims against the King of England were easy to understand and logical. Typical complaints include “For quartering large Bodies of Armed Troops among us;” and “For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent.” Jefferson uses plain language that everyone can understand to point out large injustices done by the king. His statements about the King are short and to the point. He does not waste any words or bore the reader with abstract writing or excess words and thoughts. He goes from one point to the next to the next in such a fashion that the reader’s concentration is never broken. His points are logical and everyone living in the colonies at that time and many people around the world probably had some idea of the incidents behind all his grievances against the king. Jefferson raps up the injustices done by the king by declaring the United Colonies to be free and independent states.

He believed that it was time for America to break away from Britain’s rule and become its own nation, which could govern itself. To do this, though, it was necessary to write some sort of document which would state to the world the basic beliefs on which the nation’s new government would be built. This document was the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson felt that Britain was doing nothing but hurting America with unfair rules and all sorts of ridiculous taxes. The colonies and colonists had no rights in determining the very laws which dictated the way they led their lives. The Declaration of Independence was a formal document stating that the people of America were breaking away from Britain and that the American colonies were now “Free and Independent States.”

More so than that, Huntington was writing during a time when the United States was the world’s only military superpower which lead to the idea that America should take the lead in establishing the “new world order”, one which would be dominated by the United States and their allies. Because of this, American diplomats and officials were faced with regional, religious and ethnic conflicts that, as Huntington argues, could not be easily solved. During this time the United States were making major decisions about the layout and status of the new world order. It becomes clear that Huntington would believe future conflicts would arise from cultural differences due to previous cultural clashes and that the most powerful country in the world, the United States, was also unable to create solutions for conflicts fueled by cultural differences.

Before the Declaration of Independence was signed, colonists were treated very unfairly by their mother-countries leader, King George III. King George had not helped the 13 colonies in any way and really only used them to gain wealth for Great Britain and himself. George’s method of gaining wealth from the 13 colonies was that they could only trade to Great Britain, which did not help the 13 colonies expand as a country. Also, he heavily taxed colonists on the western hemisphere because he needed aid to pay off his former war debts. The colonists were not happy about his acts because it gave them little opportunity of expanding their wealth or fortune which, is the main idea of coming to the “New World.” This made colonists very angry now was thickening the hatred for their leader they were now just as motivated as the politicians; resulting in, plenty of change, leading to the American Revolution. Jefferson understood the colonists and he was able to express or summarize their ideas, thoughts, and motivations through the document; “We the People”. Even though the Declaration of Independence was a main contribute to the ending of the American Revolution, the war had lasted an extra five years with Britain. Britain did not want to lose the 13 colonies

There are many topics that may labeled as unproven belief, whether there is truly lack of information to cover it or the information on such topics is highly classified. One of the main unproven beliefs that catch everyone’s attention is the New World Order assuming that there is nearly 1% of the citizens, so-called elite power, who own 90% of the world, including realty, factories and governments. There has not been much information on One World Order until recently, when a mass leak slipped into journalists’ hands.

Europeans are known for trekking into western civilization or as they refer to as the “New World”, and take the land as their own. In some scenarios it is evident that the Europeans have proved to be beneficial to the inhabitants of the area, and help them economically. Venezuela, however can be regarded as the complete opposite. Spain saw Venezuela as an opportunity to make quick money due to the prominent pearl beds that lay off the coast of Venezuela and the myth of el dorado which ostensibly yields infinite riches. Nonetheless, the Spaniards took no consideration into the exploitation they caused when searching for riches and settling. This can be classified as quite the tragic story, but a select few individuals were able to muster enough courage to fight for their country.

Our nation, in my opinion, is by far the best, most civilized, and most advanced nation in the world. Our industrial revolution truly is remarkable, we have come so far, and we are still thinking forward and doing our very best to further, advance and better our society and country. Yes, many other countries or nations may have knowledge of things we have not yet uncovered, and this is why we should have and maintain peaceful and positive relations with them, however, we should not interfere or spread our ideologies and culture to other foreign nations for they have their own. Further, there is power, creativity, and advancement in diversity. What good would it be if we made other nations, with their unique histories, philosophies, beliefs,

Every time I go on social media, I notice that the country I live in is slowly becoming more and more divided. In a country where innocent Black lives are taken by those who promised them living rights, where Muslims are labeled as terrorists, where undocumented immigrants are threatened to be deported, where innocent lives are suffering, it is difficult to find the light in darkness. America is a land filled with an abundance amount of diversity with people from different races, cultures, countries, languages and religions. The only ingredient that is missing to help society tackle these challenging times filled with hatred and ignorance, is unity. Unity is the state of being united or joined as a whole. Unity is what makes individuals from different backgrounds unite together to build bridges to cross over tough times. As I've become older and wiser, I’ve learned that with unity and diversity of all people, the world can morph into a more accepting society.
