<span>To thomas jefferson passage of the sedition act was proof of the evils of</span><span> evils of the opposition press. He believed that journalists who deliberately distorted the news to mislead the people could cause great harm to a representative democracy.</span>
In order not to slow down the economic recovery associated with the war effort, President Roosevelt and Congress decided to finance the war effort almost <span>entirely by war bond drives without increasing income taxes. The statement that is being presented is TRUE.</span>
One could make the argument for any one of the aforementioned events. However, I would have to argue that the Louisiana Purchase was the most significant for a few different reasons:
1) Jefferson used the concept of implied powers in order to buy this land from France. Nowhere in the US Constitution does it say that presidents can buy land from foreign countries. However, Jefferson argues that this power can be implied. Due to Jefferson's actions, several presidents after him will follow suit and buy territories from other countries.
2) It doubled the size of the United States.
3) It initiated the US's policy of Manifest Destiny. This concept that America should control all land from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean was one that was introduced in the early 19th century. The first big land annexation of this time was the Louisiana territory (1803). After this purchase, the US would continue to grow in size thanks to buying land from other countries and war.
Nationalism is taking pride in one's own nation. So put country in the blank my friend.
