Unit Summary: This unit focuses on the development of the nation after the ratification of the Constitution. The precedents set by Washington’s administration will serve as a foundation for the rest of the unit’s discussion of foreign policy, the development of political parties, and the establishment of federal authority. Students will learn about the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans and their stances on the issues of the day, as well as the death of the Federalist party after the War of 1812. They will evaluate how individuals’ personal beliefs may be different from their actions once in political office with Thomas Jefferson and the “Revolution” of 1800. Further, they will investigate early expansion westward and the evolution of foreign policy through the War of 1812. Finally, they will compare the rights and social roles of women, indentured servants, African-American slaves and freedmen, and Native Americans during the Federalist era.
