When the Revolutionary War finally came to an end, the nation became a republic and the America’s founding fathers created a three-branch political system. The power of the nation would soon after be in the hands of the future presidents who would lead the federal government, enforce the laws of the land and act as commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Throughout their presidencies, they brought leadership and nationalism in the country while implementing domestic and foreign policies to the growing nation at the same time. The strong sense of leadership of the New Republic Era presidents such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe impacted the nation positively and negatively.

Although Thomas Jefferson was a highly admired president, he did lose some popularity due to the Embargo Act. The Embargo Act was passed by U.S. Congress on December 22, 1807, and seized trade with all foreign countries. An excerpt of the Embargo Act explained why the act was created which stated that No trade will not be allowed with other countries so that the well-being of the U.S. is protected. Britain and France had been continuously harassing the U.S. and seizing U.S. ships and men. The U.S. at that time was not prepared to fight in a war, so President Jefferson hoped to weaken Britain and France by stopping trade with them. However, this resulted in a more negative impact on the American economy more than the other foreign nations. This forced Jefferson to repeal the Embargo Act in 1809. Even Though the act backfired, the Embargo Act increased the capital and labor in the New England textile and other manufacturing industries and helped to revive the Federalists. Before the Embargo Act got established, the Marbury vs Madison landmark case impacted the nation tremendously. William Marbury, a justice of the peace for D.C, was appointed by President Adams.

Under the terms of the Adams-Onis Treaty, the United States paid Spain five million dollars for Florida, Spain recognized America's claims to the Oregon Country, and the United States surrendered its claim to northern Mexico. This was also similarly stated in an excerpt of the Adams-Onis Treaty in Articles two and five that stated that Spain gives up the eastward of the Mississippi and in addition allows the inhabitants to sell or export their items outside of the U.S. anytime. The arrangement settled an outskirt debate in North America between the US and Spain and was an aftereffect of expanding strain between the US and Spain in regards to regional rights during a period of debilitated Spanish power. It also established the western boundary for the U.S. and prevented Seminoles from invading Georgia. The aim of the treaty was to draw a definite border between Spanish land and the Louisiana Territory through the Rocky Mountains and west to the Pacific Ocean. Another policy, called the Missouri Compromise, was an agreement made in order to establish a balance between the number of free and slave states. The motivation behind why the Missouri compromise happened was that Missouri needed to join the Union as a slave state, along these lines unbalancing the Union so there would be more slave states than free states. The trade off sets it
