Question 1

The great efforts that Jefferson the president made to ensure there is freedom for the people of American slavery made him gather enough electoral votes to become the president.

In addition, Jefferson supporters when they heard of the slave revolution in Haiti were dismayed by it even after the French revolution, which is alike with the event of Gabriel's revolt. Another achievement he made is that he greatly minimized the size of the federal administration and freed those put in jail by the sedition act. Jefferson as well reduced the size of the American navy and army.

Jefferson was able to raise the economic status of the country by abolishing all the taxes except the tariff ones. He made sure the size of the U.S. was increased by purchasing the land of Louisiana. He won the Barbary wars. One of the major failures during his reign is that his Embargo troupe which he used to execute his diplomatic duties provided trade with colonies making more Americans to become slaves in their own land.
