The definition of republicanism is "a state in which the supreme power resides in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them". Republicanism is also the belief that government will endure and continue to thrive. When we talk about republicanism during the latter part of the nineteenth century, great historical figures such as Tomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, George Washington, and all the founding fathers who helped create the republic of the United States come to mind. The British colonies did not have the mentality necessary to create an independent republic. However, the King of England could have pushed them to reason with the idea. In 1763, when the French and Indian War ended, King George III issued a decree that American settlers not settle west of the Appalachian Mountains. This came into effect on 7 October of the same year. The reason for this was that the people living on the western side of the mountains helped the French during the French and Indian War. He also didn't like the idea of ​​the colonists befriending the natives as the French had done. The king also wanted to maintain the population along the Atlantic coast for defense in case war broke out again. When this proclamation reached the populations of the British colonies, they were outraged. By the end of the war, most settlers wanted the lands of the West, and some had already made purchases on preferred land. Others had even established property grants for those who served or aided the English during the war against the French. Even expansionists, such as Thomas Jefferson, were angry with the bill because they fought for growth and prosperity for... middle of paper... the revolutionary war of the two political parties, especially that of the majority of congress in this Time was Federalist and Jefferson with the help of Federalist Hamilton because Hamilton did not want the Republicans to make Aaron Burr the leader of the party and help persuade others in congress that Jefferson was the right man for the job. Jefferson, however, who enjoyed more leisure on land and in his home of MonticelloWhen Jefferson took office he was able to have a vision of what the country should and could be. A government that existed to protect freedom, not to grab power. He wanted the United States to be a great agricultural empire of freedom. You can't think of the Republican Party without talking about Thomas Jefferson, the party's leader. In his inaugural address, Jefferson insisted that “we are all Republicans, we are all Federalists.”
