Bell Ringer: Alexander Hamilton on the National Bank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy7IFSS-F0I and the Whiskey Rebellion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x20Hwy_UrY
Agenda:
1. Review journals 36-38
Journal 36 - Hamilton believed that the United States needed good credit to secure future loans. To secure that good credit, Hamilton proposed that the national government pay note holders with new interest-bearing securities.
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.
Journal 38 - The French Revolution produced ideological conflict over religion and politics, and created economic prosperity for merchants, slave owners, and farmers as a result of high food prices in Europe. 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.
