But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uV4UpCq2azs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Timeline for the Alien &amp; Sedition Crisis\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1798 Federalist-controlled Congress passes four controversial acts<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2009\/06\/adams-signs-naturalization-act-june-18-1798-023850\">Naturalization Act<\/a>\u00a0(June)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/americanexperience\/features\/adams-alien-and-seditions-act\/\">Alien Friends Act\u00a0<\/a>(June)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/avalon.law.yale.edu\/18th_century\/alien.asp\">Alien Enemies Act<\/a>\u00a0(July)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/avalon.law.yale.edu\/18th_century\/sedact.asp\">Sedition Act<\/a>\u00a0(July)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>1798-9 States of Virginia and Kentucky adopt resolutions condemning these new federal laws<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/avalon.law.yale.edu\/18th_century\/virres.asp\">1798 Virginia Resolution<\/a>\u00a0(drafted by James Madison)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/avalon.law.yale.edu\/18th_century\/kenres.asp\">1799 Kentucky Resolution<\/a>\u00a0(drafted by Thomas Jefferson)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Election of 1800<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the end, the contest came down to a tie between two Republicans, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia and Aaron Burr of New York, who each had seventy-three electoral votes.

Burr was supposed to be a candidate for vice president, not president, but under the Constitution\u2019s original rules, a tie-breaking vote had to take place in the House of Representatives. It was controlled by Federalists bitter at Jefferson. House members voted dozens of times without breaking the tie. On the thirty-sixth ballot, Thomas Jefferson emerged victorious. \u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanyawp.com\/text\/06-a-new-nation\/#X_The_Election_of_1800\">American Yawp, Chap. 6: Sec.
