Hello my little Pumpkin Dumplings!

I'm pretty frustrated that I am not in school today. My refrigerator broke last Wednesday & I was unable to get one delivered this weekend. The only darn time Lowe's could deliver was today. BUT, I did eat a lot of Three Dollar Cafe wings & had some Chinese food delivered!....The only reason I went to Lowe's over the Home Depot was because they could deliver a refrigerator faster. I prefer Home Depot over Lowe's big time...

Ok...Anyways...No more life story... Please watch the following flick that gives the answers to the John Adams Q's I asked you to complete last week.  Enjoy the yawns...



 When finished with the flick, please read through Thomas Jefferson (Click his name for the doc) & answer the Jefferson Q's below:

I will collect these Q's on Thursday as a HW assignment.
  1. What did Thomas Jefferson do to the size of the government when he entered office? Why do you think he did this?
  2. Explain two effects of the Louisiana Purchase. Did Jefferson have the authority/power to make this purchase? Do you think this was a good/bad decision by Thomas Jefferson? Explain your answer…
  3. What was the purpose of the Lewis and Clark Expedition?
  4. How did Jefferson respond to the seizure of American ships? Do you think his response was a good idea or a bad idea?
  5. Do you think Thomas Jefferson was a good president? Explain why/why not and provide at least one example from the reading in your answer.
