Ch. 7-9 Study Guide
With the election of 1800, the forging of a new national identity emerges, to a great extent, from Jefferson’s ideas, political conflict, and international turmoil. In this chapter you will see and try to understand the central problem of Jefferson and Madison as the struggle of two idealists forced to deal pragmatically with complex national and international issues. Chapter 8 highlights the theme of unity amidst diversity and begins to look at the “damnable institution” of slavery that is a great blight on the American conscience.
