The most stunning political develop- ment after 1789 was the emergence of an opposition to George Washington’s administration. Although we see the two-party system as a norm, no one then had anticipated this develop- ment. Thomas Jefferson criticized the government for being too aristo- cratic in its values and too pro-British in its policies. From 1793 to 1815, Europe was engaged in warfare with few years of peace. This brought both prosperity and problems to the United States. Prosperity resulted as warring France and England used the American merchant marine as safe shippers from the Caribbean to Europe. Problems occurred because neither side recognized the idea of “neutral carriers” and attacked Americans on the high seas. Washington issued a Neutrality Proclamation, but it did not stop the conflict. Domestic politics added complications because the Jeffersonians ardently championed the French who had rebelled against their king, and the Federalists favored all things English. With Jefferson’s election as president, the direction of America toward a more open society and popular, political participation was set. Religious revivals also swept across the country during the early decades of the nineteenth century, bringing to Americans a more intimate and emotional form of worship. Political and religious freedoms converged and ignited dozens of reforms like prohibition and abolition. By 1803, each one of the Northern states had put slavery on a course toward extinction, turning the Mason-Dixon line into a vibrant divide between free and slave labor. Defending slavery pushed the Southern states further and further away from the American mainstream.

Ask: What aspects of campaigning do you see in the painting? How does this scene compare with modern elections? (Possible responses: putting up posters, people arguing and giving speeches; today, there is much less public activity. People wait to hear the election results at home, and campaigning near poll- ing places is not allowed.) BL Skill Practice Reading Time Lines Have students skim ahead and study the time lines that open each chapter. Ask: When were the U.S. presidents elected, and how long did they serve? What was one significant event during each president’s tenure? (dates elected, years of service, and major events will vary) OL The bustle and excitement of an Election Day in Philadelphia in the early 1800s 151 More About the Art Teaching Tip Wherever possible, give students the John Krimmel (1789–1821) is considered one of opportunity to use Internet America’s first genre painters.
