4. The War of 1812 was in a sense necessary to establish America as a strong and capable nation. The war defined American borders, proved that the America armed forces were capable of beating a European power, and laid the foundation for the Monroe Doctrine. If America had not fought the British then they would of fought the British later
5. Why America did not get involved with the Haitian revolution, contrary to the common perception it was not the fear of the French that stopped America from getting involved because America had just beaten the French in the French Naval War. While the South’s fear of slave uprising was a factor the greatest one by far is George Washington’s Farewell Address because it warns against getting involved in foreign conflicts.

H1. Paying less then three cents an acre and securing the Mississippi river was well worth the $15 million. As for the constitutionality of the purchase it was done in treaty form so it had to pass congress.
H3. Is it wrong for a politician to cut a deal with another politician like the "corrupt bargain" between Adams and Clay? Seeing that the Constitution does not block deals it is legal. Such a deal is very much in the spirit of the free market and therefore it isn’t wrong to make.
H4. Andrew Jackson was the first president to be elected who was the “average man”. He also established the power of the presidency. I would of voted for him because America needed a hard-line president at the time to keep the Union together. Had there not been an Andrew Jackson the Civil War would have been deadlier and more divisive
