Answer:

John Adams lost the election for maybe four main reasons. The heart of the matter was the expansion of Federal power at the expense of state and individual rights. Adams expanded the Federal Government by building up the standing army and building more ships for the Navy. He raised taxes and ran deficits. Adams instituted the Alien and Sedition Acts which criminalized criticism of the government and was rough on immigrants. Lastly, Adams toom Great Britain's side against the French. These policies weren't popular but Jefferson must have been greatful for the Navy ships he got to use in the war against the Barbary Pirates. Jefferson waged an effective campaign in the newspapers and he had the winning issues. The election still ended up in the House of Representatives between Jefferson and his running mate Aaron Burr. It was Alexander Hamilton who backed Jefferson over Burr. I am sure a contributing factor in their duel. Burr ran as a Vice-presidential running mate with Jefferson. He should not have tried to double cross Jefferson. Burr definitely had many character flaws.

These inventions are the Spinning Jenny, the Water Frame, the Steam Engine and the Locomotive. The Spinning Jenny was a machine that could spin threads of wool. The Water frame was a large wheel that was turned by running water. The Steam Engine used steam to create energy to power a machine.

Make a Cause and Effect chart showing how the Spanish American War launched the United States into an imperialistic world power.

Minchanka [31]

Need for naval bases = acquisition of Philippines and Guam
Monroe Doctrine = aid to Cuban Revolution
"city upon a hill" = guiding countries to independence and democracy
"yellow journalism" = defend against the "attack" on the USS Maine

The Spanish American War gave the US an opportunity to get rid of the last major European influence in the Western Hemisphere and aid in creating democracy in newly freed nations. It also was an opportunity to grow their navy and gain access to resources.
