First of all, as part of your homework, I'd like for you to begin organizing your notes and documents. Make sure you have everything, and bring everything to class. Here are some questions from the reading:
1. Describe the Election of 1800. What happened? Was it important? Why? Why did Jefferson refer to it as a revolution?
2. Why did Napoleon suddenly decide to sell Louisiana?
3. Why did Jefferson find it so hard to accept the deal for Louisiana?
4. Why was the Louisiana Purchase so significant?
5. What was the Corps of Discovery?

The 1790s Draw to a close.
Your reading is quite short, so no specific questions. Review the parties (handy chart helps), and get a sense of the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions.
