Today we discussed the economic challenges of the Jefferson presidency including the Embargo Act of 1807 and the War of 1812. Additionally, we discussed how the War of 1812 while revealing the shortcomings of Jeffersonian ideology (military cuts) led to a sense of nationalism that opened the door for nation building.
Afterwards, students had the opportunity to get feedback on their DBQ. Readings for tonight are as follows: 1st/2nd Period - 255-260 5th Period - 251-257 Today we discussed the main points from the weekend reading including Jefferson's attack on the judiciary, the significance of Marbury v. Madison. the Samuel Chase impeachment trial, and the curious life of Aaron Burr. Afterwards, we focused on the DBQ with specific emphasis on integrating documents. I've included the example I used in class below. Remember, you need to finish Chapter 8 tonight, see you tomorrow.
