Answer 7

My textbook says:

Answer 8

under monroe administration, national unity was promoted

Answer 9

-The Monroe Doctrine (Non-intervention)
-The diversity of his cabinet (John C. Calhoun, a Southerner, was appointed Sec. of War and John Quincy Adams, a Northerner, was appointed Sec. of State. The only reason it wasn't a perfectly balanced cabinet was because Henry Clay, a Westerner, refused to accept a cabinet position)
-The acquisition of Florida
-The admission of Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, Maine, and Missouri to the Union.
-He vetoed the Cumberland Road Bill, which he thought was unconstitutional because it gave the power to repair the road to the federal government when it should, Monrow believed, be given to the states.

Answer 24

George Washington
Presidential Accomplishments

Washington voluntarily resigned as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army in 1783. Because of his victories in the Revolutionary War, some wanted to make him king of the new nation. But Washington refused. He wanted a free, democratic and united country.

Washington longed to retire to his fields in Mount Vernon, Virginia. But he soon realized that the nation, under its Articles of Confederation, was not moving ahead. He helped organize the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia in 1787. When the new Constitution was ratified, the Electoral College unanimously elected Washington the first President.

During his first term in office, Washington joined the states together and helped establish the federal government. He did not interfere with the policy-making powers that he felt the Constitution gave Congress. He believed that foreign policy was a main concern for the young nation.

When the French Revolution led to a major war between France and England, Washington insisted that the United States remain neutral. He did not accept the recommendations of his Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who was pro-French, or his Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, who was pro-British. The President feared that getting involved in this European war would shatter his young country's new government. On April 22, 1793, he issued a proclamation of neutrality that urged American citizens to be impartial and not send aid or war materials to either England or France.
John Adams
He was one of the first proponents of Independence in the Continental Congress.

He convinced Richard Henry Lee to get Virginia to make the motion for Independence, as to get the support of the Southern states, the motion needed to come from the South.

He was on the committee that wrote the Declaration (yes, it was a committee comprised of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Thomas Jefferson and Robert Livingston).

He was the first Vice President of the United States.

He was the second President of the United States.

He was the first President to also have his son serve as President.
Thomas Jefferson

The prior answer was correct but a few sidenotes. Jefferson should be one of the most important persons that anyone studies in American history. He wanted to be known for only three of his accomplishments and asked explicitly that they be put on his grave...for the Declaration of Independence, for the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom, and for the University of Virginia. He was a true Renaissance man.

Jefferson authored the original Declaration of Independence (without any mention of God) while serving on the secret Committee of Five. Being involved in this endeavor would have meant death for the entire committee if they had been found out by the British as it would have been considered treason. He was also a Deist. And he was mad about the references to God...which were inserted to appease of few of the Reverend signers...to the day he died.

Jefferson studied horticulture in a way that had never been done before in America. He farmed and was a naturalist. He recognized that America had contained civilizations that were being lost due to the European invasion therefore he had Lewis and Clark send him Native American collections like have never been seen before. He preserved these collections at Monticello, his home. Unfortunately, after he died, the collections were sold and dispersed...an important part of American history lost.

He not only founded the University of Virginia (as he was dedicated to education) but designed and had it built. It is today a beautiful and inspiring campus. It has a great architectural program. Jefferson, himself, was quite the architect.

Jefferson introduced the decimal system to the United States which was adopted and the dollar became the monetary unit instead of the British pound (Jefferson was not fond of the British...and his references as such were omitted from the final Declaration).

But, I believe, Jefferson's greatest accomplishment was his insistence that all Americans should be free of religous tyranny and worship or not worship as they saw fit. Hence the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom which introduced the idea of separation of church and state...on which Jefferson was adamant.

I have two more left..

Answer 26

James Madison


Madison made a major contribution to the ratification of the Constitution by writing, with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, the Federalist essays. In later years, when he was referred to as the "Father of the Constitution," Madison protested that the document was not "the off-spring of a single brain," but "the work of many heads and many hands."

In Congress, he helped frame the Bill of Rights and enact the first revenue legislation

In retirement at Montpelier, his estate in Orange County, Virginia, Madison spoke out against the disruptive states' rights influences that by the 1830's threatened to shatter the Federal Union.
