As the industrial revolution unfolded new sources of power such as the steam engine was developed. It is true that the idea of the steam engine existed since 1698 but all along it had problems like intense pressure, or it required a lot of coal to fuel it. However in 1760 James Watt developed a perfect steam engine which revolutionized transportation. Not only so but also brought great changes in the iron and coal industries, which Henry Bessemer contributed greatly to, by developing a procedure that helped the production of steel, this stronger more workable steel triggered the growth of other industries as well. What do these industries depend on? Yes they depend on good transportation systems to bring raw materials to factories and to distribute finished goods. Thus they started building canals between mines and factories, then a road surface, and finally the rail road industry was developed. George Stephenson developed the Rocket; the first steam powered locomotive. Also the American Engineer Robert Fulton developed a way to use steam power for ships. The postal system was also introduced by the British but this time inexpensively. And last we should remember the telegraph that sent messages by electrical impulses not only in Europe but also between America and Britain.

Assignment #2
1.The Jefferson Presidency saw increasing factionalism and a couple of debates, but was most notable for its deeds outside of America. Jefferson attempted to face down the Barbary pirates, purchased Louisiana from the French, and tried to triangulate between the French and British. In response, Jefferson and Congress passed the Embargo Act, prohibiting all American exports and thus unsurprisingly hurting the American economy. Congress soon repealed it and replaced it with the Non-Intercourse Act, which only forbade trade with Britain and France, and authorized the president to end the boycott against either at his discretion.
5.Tecumseh's agenda was to unite other Indian tribes to oppose white expansion into the west in the early 1800s.Tecumseh was killed while fighting on the British side at the Battle of Thames during the War of 1812.

Leopard hailed the Chesapeake at about ten miles from the American coast and demanded that the ship submit to a search. When the U.S. commander refused the Leopard put three broadsides into the Chesapeake, killing 3 of the crew and wounding l8 others. The British then removed the deserters.

The Chesapeake incident inflamed American public opinion against the British.
8.The Embargo Act had been a costly miscalculation. By forfeiting trade the U.S. had experienced only the economic hazards and none of the potential commercial gains of war. At the same time the embargo had been unable to redress U.S. grievances as a neutral power and had divided rather than united Americans. Not surprisingly, the U.S. applied later embargoes to specific goods and not to shipping in general.

The French basically did the same too when the French realized that America favored British more than they favored the French.
8. The Embargo Act was issued when British literally killed few American sailors and took some in to the Royal Navy. Many citizens wanted war but Jefferson instead issued the Embargo Act. Hoping to be neutral at all times, he prohibitted the merchants from trading with other countries. Many tried to defy the law and trade because America's exporting profit dropped from about $100 mil to $22 mil. This brought a big problem after Jefferson left the house because they needed to deal with the economic harship, and they had to find a way to repeal it and deal with the economy.
