You know that Thomas Jefferson was a leader of the Democratic-Republican party. What are some things he believed as a Democratic-Republican?

The classical design and rural setting of Monticello, Jefferson’s

home outside Charlottesville, Virginia, visually expressed both

his aristocratic tastes and his vision of a harmonious agrarian

republic.

United States what it is today? PART 3:

JEFFERSON’S PRESIDENCY (1801-1809)

We are going to use skimming to learn about the Age of Jefferson’s impact on shaping the modern U.S.

things to look for when skimming:

1. titles

2. bold-faced, italicized, or underlined words (read the sentence to better understand the term; if that doesn’t help to understand the term, look it up in the purple-edged glossary that begins on page 1061)

3. pictures and captions

4. charts and graphs

5. first sentence of each paragraph (if you have time, which you do have time today)

Jefferson won the South and West where farming was common.

Thomas Jefferson is Elected President in 1800 Because John Adams was so unpopular after his first term, Thomas Jefferson won the election of 1800. You should not be reading this sentence. Stop wasting your time by reading this. Seriously, why are you so stubborn? Many young democratic countries fall apart when one group loses power to another, often resulting in civil war. The election of 1800 is sometimes called the Revolution of 1800 because it proved that the United States could peacefully transfer power from one political party to another. Reading this sentence seems to prove that you should seriously get some help for your addiction to reading. I heard that reading is a gateway drug. It is scary to think what reading might lead to. The election also might be considered a revolution because the way government was run changed a lot. Once again, you have gone beyond skimming to read more than you need to. Jefferson cut taxes and made the government’s bureaucracy smaller. If you seriously cannot stop yourself from reading exposed words, get a U.S. History textbook from me and leave it open. I have many other great books about U.S. History for when you finish the textbook.

To note what important information is found when skimming, we are going to use a web diagram. Practice based on what you read in the article above. Add important information about the election of 1800 in the circles connected to it. Each circle gives more detail about the circle it is connected to. Be brief to try to fit the information in the box.

The bountiful wild life was a major source of the expedition’s food supply.

This proved that one political party can take over from another without trouble resulting.

This doubled the size of the United States.
