Slide 3
Foreign means that it involves other nations or governments. A
policy is a plan or course of action that a government intends to
follow (one example a policy of isolationism) Thus, foreign policy
is a plan or course of action that a government follows when
dealing with other parts of the world. IsolationismInvolvement
Slide 4
Proposed Neutrality (would do nothing to help France or Britain
during their war times) This became knows as Isolationism!!
(avoiding alliances with other countries)
Slide 5
Dilemma #1: The Jay Treaty: Chief Justice John Jay went to
Britain to negotiate Brits to leave Ohio Valley France felt
betrayed- started attacking American merchant ships The XYZ Affair-
When French secret agents met US reps and demanded money or else no
peace talks
Slide 6
Adams sent peace mission to France Napoleon had taken over
France- was eager to make peace with US and Brits- already ended
the seizure of merchant ships! More importantly, NB ended the 1778
alliance with the US (France did not have to pay for seized ships,
in return) Made Adams unpopular- lost to Jefferson in election of
1800
Slide 7
Impressment: When Brits kidnapped American sailors to serve in
British navy. Piracy: Barbary States of North Africa = piracy for
American ships GW and Adams paid tribute to State rulers in
exchange for safety of American ships, almost 2 million dollars by
the time Jefferson became Pres.
Slide 8
The ruler of Tripoli demanded more- even declared war against
the US TJ hated war but hated paying tribute just as much.
Slide 9
Sent small fleet of war ships to Med. to protect US ships. One
got captured, crew held for ransom. TJ begged Brit and France to
stop plundering. When diplomacy failed- tried an embargo!
Slide 10
Embargo- a complete halt in trade with other nations. (not
smart) Embargo Act of 1807- no foreign ships could enter US ports
and no US ships could leave. TJ hoped this would hurt UK and France
so they would stop Backfired! Sailors lost their jobs, ships rotted
in port, etc. It was repealed in 1809- UK /France kept
attacking
Slide 11
James Madison took a new approach; offered UK and France a deal
If you stop, the US will stop trading with their enemy Napoleon
agreed! (but secretly still ordered the attacks) Madison cut off
trade with Brits Brits didnt stop
Slide 12
Maybe Madison should go to war with Britain Not popular with
New Englanders and Federalists Did not want a blockade (closing off
an area to keep people/supplies in or out) South was in favor of
war
Slide 13
War of 1812! Madison chose to abandon isolationism Congress
declared war on Britain Wanted to acquire Canadian lands Britain
proved tough! Held off Canadian takeover, and attacked DC
Slide 14
Then they attacked Baltimore harbor A lawyer named Francis
Scott Key watched the bombing of Ft. McHenry- He captured his
feelings in a poem which later became. THE STAR SPANGLED
BANNER!!!
Slide 15
The olive branch symbolizes peace. E Pluribus Unum is Latin for
Out of many, One. It is the national motto. The arrows symbolize
war. How many stars are there? How many stripes are there? The 13
Stars and Stripes represent the original 13 states. The bald eagle
represents freedom and power.
Slide 16
One of the greatest American victories during the war was the
Battle of New Orleans. General Andrew Jacksons men killed or
wounded about 2,000 British soldiers, while only about 20 American
soldiers were killed or wounded. The victory made Jackson a war
hero, which would later aid him when he ran for the
presidency.
Slide 17
Although both sides claimed victory, neither Britain nor the
U.S. really won the War of 1812. The Treaty of Ghent, which ended
the war, settled none of the issues that had led to the fighting.
Instead, the problems of impressment and ship seizures faded away
as peace settled over Europe.
Slide 18
One by one, Latin American nations would rise up against Spain
and gain their independence.
Slide 19
1811- Paraguay 1816- Argentina 1818- Chile 1819- Colombia 1821-
Mexico Venezuela 1822- Ecuador 1823- United Provinces of Central
America 1824- Peru 1825- Bolivia 1828- Uruguay
Slide 20
What should President Monroe do to support the new Latin
American nations?
Slide 21
President Monroe issues what becomes known as the Monroe
Doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine was a warning for European nations to
keep their hands off America. It carried with it the hidden message
that the U.S. was no longer a weak collection of states, but a
strong and confident nation that should be respected by the
world.
