That North America was no longer available for European colonization and that any attempt to come over here would be considered a threat to our safety and well-being.

Edit: Really the Western hemisphere, not just NA.

Right point, but it was a little strongly stated.

What the Monroe Doctrine stated was: "America can Manage its own Affairs! All foreign powers--BACK OFF!!!"

What was the Zimmerman Telegram?

Zimmerman Telegram - note from Germany to Mexico saying that if they attacked the U.S., Germany would be on their side and would support them!

I think it was if Mexico joined with Germany, not neccessarily attacked the US. Germany offered Mexico California.

... a TAD stronger, CYP.

Hitler PERSONALY Telegramed the then-President of Mexico (forget his name) and stated that if Mexico allied with Germany and attacked the U.S., then Hitler would personaly see to it that Mexico would recover ALL the Territory they had lost to the U.S. over the years.

Mexico declined the offer (they probaby were in no shape to attack the U.S. anyhow).

Senator John C. Calhoun of South Carolina stated that a State had the right to "nullify" a Federal Law. What was he referring to?

First the tariff of abominations in 1828 then the only slightly reduced tariff of 1832.

CYP--you're correct.

BUT--why did Calhoun BELIEVE a State had the right to "nullify" a law in the first place?

Ummm, he believed states had the right to declare a law unconstitutional?

Edit:Wow, I totally didn't answer the question! Sorry...

I'm sorry!

Calhoun, like a good little Democratic-Republican, feared states losing their rights to the federal government.

Edit: Me either. Um, I think he believed that the federal government could not pass laws that promoted the interests of one region (namely the NE and W) at the expense of another region (the S)

Okay. Here's the scoop as I understand it:

Calhoun believed that if a State thought that a Federal Law was passed that was immormoral or would cause undue harm to a certain State, that State was within the rights of the Constitution to "nullify" (ignore) a law--even though it had been passed by the Federal Government as the law for the Entire Country.

The Confederacy was hardly the first time a group of States seriously considered seceeding from the Union and forming their own country. When WAS the first time that happened?

New England wanted to seceed around the time of the War of 1812, I believe. I can't remember exactly why, though.

I want to say the Federalists during the War of 1812 through the Hartford Convention, but I don't think it is the earliest time a group has threatened to secede...

#267

re: AP American History

Posted: 5/3/05 at 5:49pm

Well, that is MY understanding, CYP...

I don't know of any earlier attempts of secession than that...

You're probably right too

Now that I think about it, there really can't be an earlier time since the War of 1812 occured in an infant U.S.

W-A treaty.. put an end to the Aroostook War which was a boundary dispute in Maine with the Indians, I think.

Yes. The Webster-Ashburton Treaty (1842) between the U.S. and the U.K. (the Webster involved was DANIEL Webster) did a few things--but it was mostly put in place to clearly define the boundary between Maine and New Brunswick.
