Age of Jefferson?

The Age of Thomas Jefferson in 1800-1816.


This time period includes the following events:


-Louisiana purchase


-Burr conspiracy


-Supreme Court under John Marshall


-Neutral rights, impressment, embargo


-Madison's presidency


-War of 1812





1. WHY is this time period called the "Jefferson Age" when it includes Madisons' presidency also?





2. WHY isn't it only from 1800 to upto end of Jefferson's presidency?





3. What's a theme that occurred during 1800-1816 American history that recurred/is recurring in later part of history?
