A Response To Thomas Jefferson's Attacks

317 Words2 Pages

The British are taking American ships and crewmen. If this non-sense doesn’t stop, I’m not going to be able to send my merchandise abroad. Why doesn’t our navy resist these attacks!

I read in the Boston Times that the British tried taking crewmen from the Chesapeake. Why isn’t Jefferson doing anything to prevent this! He’s not leading our country properly. We have a navy, they should be able to defend against these attacks!

Well it seems like Jefferson has done something idiotic. He wants to starve the British through the means of cancelling our exports. Americans are losing jobs, poverty is filling the streets, and our economy has sunken farther. What numskull would keep this act, while they have full knowledge of its failures! I’m scared that I’ll lose my job, I’m just clinging to God for now! …show more content…

Yet, I’m hesitant with our yearning for Canada. We already have a huge territory towards the West of the United States, we could venture there. I know more resources are helpful towards us, but their risking the lives of our countrymen and soldiers. I just cannot abide by that.

These two Indian brothers named Tenskwatawa and Tecumseh seriously believe that they’re going to revive or keep they’re territory. Well, I’m glad that Harrison swiftly stepped in and disrupted their impending attack. I heard Prophetstown was burned during the attack, I hope it teaches the Natives to stop fighting Americans.

After reading the Republic Magazine, I saw this new group called the War Hawks. They’re a lot of farmers from the putrid South trying to make us enter Canada. The risk of raising tensions between the British and causing another war isn’t worth it. Also, they said that the British were supplying the Natives with weapons. We all know that the Natives are quite ludicrous, they’ll fall to our might once

Nor is it clear why “a blue water fleet that could be a force outside harbors, rivers, and the immediate coast” was any less essential for asserting America’s nationhood in 1777 than it would be in 1807. Daughan undervalues the services the Continental navy performed at sea; transporting diplomats, convoying specie, and showing the flag. None of the ministers that the Continental frigates carried to Europe was captured, whereas Henry Laurens, sent by Congress to Europe in a packet, was taken and imprisoned in the Tower of London. Congress could not place confidence in privateers for public missions. It would have been foolish to commit the shipment of

In 1775, America was under the control of Great Britain. Many people were oblivious to the fact that we were under control, while other people thought it was time to break free and gain independence. Among these people was Patrick Henry, who was a huge advocate for colonial independence. In his speech at the Virginia convention, Patrick Henry argues to forcefully persuade the audience to go to war with Great Britain and pushes for the use of military action by using figurative language, rhetorical devices, and organization, and by confronting them with their current position of danger in the face of the inevitable British invasion.

We know this since it says in “one war three perspectives”. That “native americans fought in the war of 1812 to secure british support for their own war”. And after so much fighting the outcome for the natives was that they were pushed off their land to the west of the Mississippi and this was the last time natives tried defending their land from settlers. And for their allies, the British, the defense of Canada proved beneficial since Canada turned into a transcontinental country and became an important part in the British empire.

The indigenous population at the time wanted no hand in the conflicts between the whites, and for the rebel groups to safeguard their interests; they invited the leaders of the tribe to ensure that in the event a war broke out, the Indian community will not take part and separate themselves from the war. The natives heeded the call to meet with the leaders of the American rebel groups, where they signed a treaty of lasting peace and

As a witness to The Boston Massacre as a Patriot as an English citizen, I believe that the British Soldiers are unstable to protect us if they will kill us. The acts that lead up to the killing of five patriots were downgrading us. After are Victory in the French and Indian War we became in debt. The British officials decided to make laws such as Writs of Assistance, Sugar Act, Quartering Act, Stamp Act and the Proclamation of 1763 and more were soon made. This just anger us so a boycott was made called The Sons of Liberty the leader was Samuel Adams.

1. When Jefferson was elected, he described his election as a revolution, and a major change from John Adam’s presidency to Jefferson’s was the transition from a federalist nation to a democratic- republican. Jefferson and his secretary of the treasury Albert Gallatin rejected the federalist’s idea that a national bank would strengthen the government by giving creditors a stake in its benefits, while John Adams and his federalist party believed in the national bank. They also induced Congress to repeal most internal taxes, and slashed expenditures by closing some embassies overseas and reducing the army. However, the navy was ordered to act upon pirates of North Africa in 1801. Jefferson calculated that going to war would be cheaper than paying

I have attended the convention speech in Virginia and have learned that Great Britain is only causing us harm and that is something we should acknowledge. They have been going against us for 10 years and we have yet, to conquer peace. All colonies are under attack as they have restricted our trade, imposed taxes on us, and will not negotiate with us for any reason. From the state of Virginia, Patrick Henry, has imposed his persuasive speech to impose the actions the colonies must take against Great Britain. The colonies must form an armed resistance to defend as Great Britain is already

Dinner Debate: The War of 1812 Opening Statement We are having problems with the British which is causing us to suffer as a country. This is not fair. We, as Americans, believe in fairness, and we stand together, united, when the times get rough. The British should pay for their actions, but this is not the right time, we must be prepared first.

29 years after America won its freedom from Britain, they declared war on Britain once again in 1812. Conflict between the two countries have threatened the peace in past years, but when tensions rose too high despite the attempts for peaceful negotiations, President Madison drafted a declaration of war and sent it to Congress, where it was voted for. In the declaration, it talked about protecting the U.S. sailors from the British, who were impressing them and taking their cargo, but really, the declaration was speaking of a bigger picture; earning respect from the world as a country. However, there was also an unwritten reason on Madison’s declaration of war. The people of America wanted more land, and with Canada just above them, they believed

The argument that the British could not realistically deploy more naval assets to America while simultaneously worrying about an attack on their homeland is understandable. Once the French and Americans signed an alliance treaty in 1778, it marked a significant milestone in history. “For the first time in the eighteenth century, Great Britain found itself diplomatically isolated; at one point in 1779 it was even threatened with French invasion.” Such isolation forced the British to make preparations to protect themselves from French threats. “The British government was therefore obliged to prepare for a much broader conflict unaided by European allies who might have compelled the French to commit resources to defending their position on the Continent.”

•“She was not even listening. She had gotten tired of listening. She knew, as we all knew, what the outcome would be. A white man had been killed during a robbery, and thought two of the robbers had been killed on the spot, one had been captured, and he, too, would have to die” (4). This quote is important because it allows me to understand that Jefferson has to die because he was the only person in the liquor store and was a black man.

Thomas Jefferson’s works and ideas laid the foundation for several key aspects on the limits of the United States government, the idea of separation of church and state, and the importance of personal rights. Jefferson wrote many influential pieces of literature which pushed the concept of having limited government power. Jefferson wanted America not to be like the European monarchies that fell due to religious strife, so he emphasized a secular government. Jefferson, following closely with the ideas of John Locke, stressed the importance of the protection of individual rights against the government. Thomas Jefferson believed that a government should have limitations.
