Agenda:

Journal 37 - While Hamilton envisioned an urban America, Jefferson located the true American experience on the farm. He hoped for an uncorrupt nation of independent yeomen farmers who enjoyed landownership, independence, and the right to vote.

Ideological conflicts increased political divisions within American society, particularly the domestic debate of Hamilton's economic policies, which helped create a domestic insurrection in western Pennsylvania (the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794). Party identity of Federalists and Republicans crystallized as well.

Bell Ringer: Review HW

The Confederation government was able to declare war, make treaties, adjudicate disputes between states, print money, and requisition funds from the states.

Shay’s Rebellion also exposed the need for a stronger central government to put down rebellions in the states.
