The preamble to the constitution is basically the same thing as a mission statement. It gave people a short, concise overview of what the constitution was trying to do without them having to read the whole thing word for word.

The Chesapeake Incident happened on December 7, 1863 when a group of confederates took the USS Chesapeake, a Northern ship doing a trade run from New York to Portland. The Southern hijackers wished to sell the Chesapeake's cargo, purchase armaments, and then transform the Chesapeake into a privateer in order to intercept and attack merchant ships from the North. Though they did reach British territorial waters off the coasts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, they were captured by two Northern warships on 16 December in St. Margaret's Bay in Nova Scotia. The ships searched a Nova Scotian fishing trolley for possible refugees. These actions employed by the North and South seriously violated British neutrality. The event badly affected the future of each of the colonies as it had a serious affect on the thoughts for confederation. This event, combined with the St. Alban's Raid, helped push Canada to confederation.

George Washington favored Hamilton over Jefferson because George and Hamilton were both Republicans

Which of the following what?

Thomas Jefferson's ideals were a non interventionist policy in that, he wanted to trade freely with other countries and leave them alone as long as they left us alone. However, the Britain and the France were attacking their merchant ships so he made a bit of a rash decision and he basically created a non contact policy meaning we couldn't trade with any foreign country.

John Adams claimed that Jefferson was the son of a half-breed Indian squaw and a Virginian mulatto father. To date, no evidence has been given to support this claim. Baseless claims of African heritage were often used up into the 20th century to destroy political careers. Jefferson's father is rumored to have been of Welsh descent, although little documentation exists; his mother, on the other hand, is of well documented descent from British gentry.

The Louisiana purchase. 850,000 square miles of the Mississippi valley and the mid-west for 15 million dollars - a bargain for less than 3 cents per acre. And the Americans were prepared to pay 10 million dollars for New Orleans alone. Luckily for them Napoleon was reeling from the shock of being defeated by Haiti. The purchase doubled the size of the United States at the stroke of a pen.
The area known as the Louisiana Purchase, which is located west of the Mississippi River valley was purchased from France.

He didn't do anything...?

Umm... the Declaration of Independence, Statesmen, Founding Father, the Pen of the Revolutionary generation, just to name a few...

Yeah, he sure didn't do anything for America..

First of all he was one of our founding fathers. Secondly he wrote the Declaration of Independence. Then he became our third president and during his presidency he doubled our land area by buying the Louisiana Purchase.

He wanted to continue his affair with Sally Hemmings, which was only possible through secretly smuggling ginseng, basically an older version of Viagra, from China into the states. It's in the book (Americant Pageant 15th Edition.)

Thomas Jefferson founded it -- The University of Virginia.

The actors who portrayed George and Louise Jefferson; the original Lionel Jefferson; Helen and Tom Willis, Mr. Bentley; Ned, the doorman and Mother Jefferson are all deceased.

First, Jefferson requested $2500 from Congress to pay for the costs of the trip. Meriwether Lewis who had been appointed to the rank of Captain, was designated as the expedition "scientist". Prior to the expedition, Jefferson sent Lewis to Philadelphia for intense training by physician Benjamin Rush, astronomer-surveyor Andrew Ellicott, botanist Benjamin Barton, anatomist Casper Wister, and mathematician Robert Patterson. For three months he was tutored in the spring of 1803.

The skills that Lewis learned would be passed on to Clark as they traveled. Prior to the expedition, Clark was in fact Lewis' superior officer and was very experienced in handling boats. Clark had rounded up some men from the mountains to help on the expedition.

he feared strong federal governments and anything that the Constitution did not say they could do

Thomas Jefferson hoped to reduce the size and expense of the federal governments and worked behind the scenes to accomplish his purposes in Congress. He significantly decreased the federal government by getting rid of staff, cutting the deficit, and cutting the army 50%. This reduced the federal bureaucracy, cut taxes and military spending.

The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 was his biggest accomplishment, but sparked common critique because it went against his republican values of a strict interpretation of the Constitution.

In 1807, Jefferson issued an embargo trying to force France and England to recognize the independent economy of the US, but it backfired by causing huge economic issues that bankrupted many merchants.

Thomas Jefferson was the third President (1801-1809) of the USA.
