Question

Can anyone give me some high and low points of each of the four first presidential administrations?

I'm writing an essay and I wanna add some more content to make it better so I was hoping someone could contribute by sharing some of the highest and lowest points for all four of the first presidents.

Answer 1

I can give you some, this might be long. Well.

George Washington: First president, established many precidents(traditions, like 2 terms(now mandatory), and farewell address). Led us through the Revolutionary War, and established one of the best cabinets in history.

John Adams: Created Alien and Sedition Acts, which removed many of immigrant's rights and made it illegal to speak out against the government. Not still in action today.

Thomas Jefferson: Nearly broke US economy by prohibiting trade with everyone, to attempt and stop Britain's growth. Britain started to trade with Latin American instead. Also, approved the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the nation's land at the time. Lewis and Clark were sent out to study it, along with Zebulon Pike, who is killed in the War of 1812.

James Madison: Declared the War of 1812. US attempted to invade Canada, failed. Britain was stuck defending from France and expelled very little troops against the US(they were allies with Canada). The British burn Washington DC, resulting in the only takeover of the US capital. Andrew Jackson is idolized for his role of general in the War of 1812.

Hope this helped! These were very vague answers. If anything on here sounds interesting to you, search it up. :D
