The presidencies of George Washington to Thomas Jefferson

For what will be on the summative test this coming Monday this video has information about the presidencies of George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson.  Watch from the beginning to 28:16, which is the end of Jefferson.  the information about the Louisiana Purchase and Lewis and Clark WILL NOT be on this test, but the other information about Jefferson's Presidency will be.  Especially the election stuff we did in the rapid fire reading activity.
