1. What was the "Revolution of 1800"?
The “Revolution of 1800” was the presidential election of 1800; the first peaceful change in authority due to an election in modern history between Adams and Jefferson. The group with power, the Federalist Party, with John Adams as their leader, was defeated by a group not in power, the Democratic-Republican Party, whose leaders were Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. What I found interesting was that John Adams’ own vice president, Jefferson, was running against him. Adams must have been even more frustrated with Jefferson when he won the election.

They had their own continent to look after and they should not worry how America was managing hers.

I think the British wanted to make up for their loss in the American Revolution by agitating the Americans any way possible and prove that the United States was just lucky when they won the war against the well- equipped army of England.
