Why are there British pirates?

Jefferson's foreign policy took up most of the discussion today as well as a new set of notes titled, "Problems with Foreign Powers" which comes from Chapter 10 section 3 in your textbook. Jefferson and the United States faced a dilemma because France and Great Britain were at war and we didn't want to get involved but some how we were pulled into it...those darn pirates and girls I'm not talking about Jack Sparrow. Don't forget your 50 States Test will be on Friday. If you would like to prepare for the quiz, follow this link: http://www.lizardpoint.com/fun/geoquiz/usaquiz.html

There's some drama in the White House

Regular classes began working on their notes "Jefferson goes against President Adams" in class. Students will be able to see why there was drama in the White House during President Adams' term in office. President Adams and Thomas Jefferson allows some philosophical differences to get in the way of their friendship. Thomas Jefferson later on becomes President with a little help from an unexpected government official. Lastly, students will learn about an important Supreme Court case which gave full judicial power to the Supreme Court.
