When Thomas Jefferson and the founders were framing the newly formed nation they saw a very different direction of what the United States was to become. For the founders, republicanism was deeply rooted on the principle of "the people" sovereignty and not the abusive aristocratic monarchy used in colonial times. However, with social and economic changes republicanism slowly morphed into an idea that was to modernize with the changing American rhetoric. This sudden change in Republicanism would…

Since early history, slavery has existed. We start to begin to see slavery-like actions when Columbus founded the new world. He thought that the natives would be easy to take over due to their lack of religion. But the Columbian exchange was the event that introduced African American slavery when African slave owners would trade slaves for other goods.

They loved learning about and finding new types of plants from all over the world to try to grow in plots on their vast plantations. Gardening played a major role in the U.S. Constitution and the new country of America. The new country had just fought its first war for its freedom…

Furthermore, whenever Washington left office the country was in turmoil over who would lead them next. Due to the recent war affairs, the citizens based their votes more on the revolutionary credits rather than political standpoints.
