Andrew Jackson and Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830. The Indian Removal authorized the relocation of Native Americans from the lands East of the Mississippi River and to the west. The plan was finished by moving the Native Americans to what is now Oklahoma. The Indian Removal Act was meant to support the expansion of the United States without interference by moving the Natives out of the way. The Indian removal act was rationalized by the self-serving concept of manifest destiny, the belief that the expansion of the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean was divinely ordained and inevitable, was used to justify the eviction of Native Americans from their native homelands.

In conclusion both the Federalist and the Democratic Republicans had strong options about the Alien and Sedition Acts, most of which were different in relation to what was constitutionally right or wrong. John Adams truly tried to do something proper regarding the acts but it sadly backfired when he discovered the citizens of the United States enjoyed their personal freedom. Although I would have managed the Sedition Acts differently I believe this event contributed greatly into the shaping of our government since it was still pretty clear that our Founding Fathers had no idea how to run a nation. This event only lead to the discovery of political parties and the truth about personal opinions regarding the community members of this society.
The aliens act completely demolishes what the constitution stands for, freedom. “No person shall be deprived of liberty without due process of the law”. What this means is that you cannot imprison someone without some kind of trial, however, the alien act goes completely against this. Especially when you think about them deporting innocent children just because they were born in France. When people believe that this was constitutional they say what John Adams did was necessary.

In 1798 America believed that it was going to fight a war against France due to increased hostilities between the two nations. Meanwhile, America was also divided into two political groups, the Jeffersonian Republicans, and the Federalists. European immigrants often became pro-Jeffersonians because the group was more welcoming than the aristocratic Federalists who discriminated against poor immigrants. In 1798, the Federal Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts and presented them as laws meaning to protect the United States from threatening foreigners during the imminent war with France but the acts really intended to weaken the Jeffersonian Republicans. These acts were not only dishonestly introduced but also violated Americans’
The US Constitution was created in 1787. It was all about putting confidence in the citizens that they would be taken care of no matter what. It was very important to the people who wrote the Constitution that everything that was written would come to firmition.

Warfare is a very controversial topic and when speaking on any war, one cannot possibly state that one isolated event solely attributed to its start. From the time students are introduced to the War of 1812 in high school, it has mainly been taught that the War of 1812 was caused by the taking hostage of American sailors by the British Navy.

In this paper the writer will set out to discuss the events that seemingly had a part in the start of the War of 1812 and how the United States was affected after the war ended.
