The Age of Jefferson (1801-1816)(The American Nation - Pages 264-265)
Republican Presidents in the early 1800s tried to serve the needs of ordinary Americans while limiting the role of government. During this time, events that affected France and Britain reached beyond their borders. As a result, the United States had the opportunity to double its size by purchasing the Louisiana territory from France. The young nation also faced war with Britain again. Although there was no clear winner in the war, many Americans became more proud of their growing nation. |
