Willard Revolutionary War Reenactment

Willard Revolutionary War Reenactment and Encampment - Flag Raising

Costumes for the Reenactment

We are one week away and I still have some of you missing pieces of your outfit.  Costumes were due on April 30.  You were first notified of this in January and many times in between now and then.  A month ago, I talked to each of you up individually to ask if you needed any assistance with parts of your outfit.  I've had sewing machines in class for two months and the last two weeks I have women from the Daughters of the American Revolution come to school to help sew costumes.  I know it is not always easy to talk to your teachers about having something for your costume but some of you did and we were happy to help.
I know I said no late grade during fourth quarter, but I am willing to over look that on this assignment if you have the parts by Monday.  I won't be able to sew next week, but I do have some extra pieces to lend out.  If you need something, let me know as soon as possible on Monday.
Thanks and have a good weekend!
Mr. von Kamp

Expectations for the Reenactment

Chapter 10 Section 1 - Building A National Identity

With no major political divisions after the War of 1812, a spirit of nationalism spread throughout the United States. This nationalism was symbolized by the warm relationship between citizens and President James Monroe. Regional differences, however, brought an end to what was called the Era of Good Feelings. Sectionalism grew more intense over the issues of slavery and tariffs.

Three strong leaders emerged in Congress, representing the three different regions: Southerner John C. Calhoun supported state sovereignty, Daniel Webster came from the North and favored the Tariff of 1816, and Henry Clay spoke for the interests of the Western states. Clay was known for solving national disputes and helped pass the Missouri Compromise that preserved the balance between slave states and non-slave states. When the Supreme Court became involved in sectional and states’ rights issues, its decisions strengthened the power of national government.

Chapter 9 Section 4 - The War of 1812

James Madison was elected president in 1808. He faced continuing problems with Great Britain and threats from Native Americans in the West. War Hawks in Congress pressed for an increase in military spending. In 1812 the United States declared war against Britain. Important battles were fought at Lake Erie, Detroit, Horseshoe Bend, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. After their defeat at Plattsburgh, British leaders decided that the war was too costly and unnecessary, and American and British representatives signed the Treaty of Ghent in 1814. Before word of peace could reach America, however, General Andrew Jackson led his troops to a decisive victory over the British at New Orleans.

Chapter 8 - Launching a New Nation

Chapter Outline
Section 1: Washington Takes Office
Section 2: The Birth of Political Parties
Section 3: Troubles at Home and Abroad
Section 4: The Presidency of John Adams


Summary

After taking the oath of office, President Washington and the new Congress had to make many decisions about the structure of the new government. They created departments within the executive branch, a court system, and added the Bill of Rights to the Constitution. The Bill of Rights protected individual liberties, such as freedom of speech and the right to a trial by jury.

While Washington focused his attention on foreign affairs, Alexander Hamilton, the secretary of the treasury, was left to tackle the nation’s large financial debt. He proposed that the Confederation government repay debts owed to individual American citizens and countries. As a compromise to Southerners who thought this favored the North, Hamilton supported a plan to locate the nation’s capital in the South. Hamilton also asked Congress to create a national bank, and proposed a tariff on imported products to encourage the growth of American industry.

The new government faced many challenges. In Pennsylvania, farmers angry about a tax on whiskey staged the Whiskey Rebellion. Washington decided to exert his power and used force to crush this revolt. In the West, settlers were moving onto land protected by treaties with Native Americans. After many battles, however, Native Americans signed the Treaty of Greenville and surrendered most of their land.

When Britain and France went to war in 1793, Washington hoped that the United States could remain neutral. When the British captured and impressed American ships, Washington sent chief justice John Jay to reach a settlement. In what became known as Jay’s Treaty, the British agreed to withdraw from American soil. Another agreement, known as Pinckney’s Treaty, also settled U.S. disputes with Spain.


By 1796 Americans began to take opposing sides on issues, and two political parties emerged from the debates. The Federalists generally supported a strong central government, one that had the powers not only explicitly stated in the Constitution, but also those implied by it. The Republicans, on the other hand, wanted to limit government’s power in order to protect individual liberties. They believed that a democracy required the participation of ordinary people and not just elected representatives. In the election of 1796, Federalist John Adams had the most votes and became president. Republican Thomas Jefferson received the second highest number of votes and so became Vice President.

During his administration, Adams was faced with resolving ongoing disputes with France, as well as the challenge sparked by the Alien and Sedition Acts over the principles of states’ rights and individual liberties.
