Answer:

Read Below

Explanation:

Upon his election as the President of the United States of America in 1800, Thomas Jefferson selected Albert Gallatin as the Secretary of the Treasury.  

he Jefferson administration had two main objectives in 1801:  

1) Reduce the national debt

2) Reduce direct taxes

In 1801, the United States was more than $80 million in national debt.  

The Jefferson administration took advantage of two sources to reduce national debt: capital gained through the sale of public land, and revenue brought in through custom duties (import taxes).  

Furthermore, Jefferson lowered military spending, and reduced the US Army and Navy. He got rid of domestic taxes, and maintained the bank!

inna [77]

Answer:

He wanted to create a new genre of landscape painting that embedded some sort of moral message for the audience.

Most landscape painting only show a simple scenery of nature (such as forest, mountains, sea, etc). It only aimed to show the aesthetic value within the environment around  us.

Answer:

The economy of the United States was largely on agriculture before to the Industrial Revolution.

Explanation:

Industrial Revolution:

Factory labor was done by a small percentage of the population, mostly in the Northeast. In the early 1800s, the First Industrialization reached the United States.

People were forced to relocate from rural to urban regions due to a labor shortage. It allowed women and children to enter the workforce, and families began to search for work outside the house.

People moved to cities in search of work rather than working on their own farms as a result of the rise of factories. Industrial capitalists, who owned companies, and industrial workers, who worked in factories, formed as two distinct socioeconomic strata.
