RH+Was+the+Revolution+of+1800+truly+a+Revolution?

Many people will name the turn of the century from 1700's to the 1800's a presidential revolution. George Washington and John Adams were both federalist presidents in the 1700's. The election of 1800 came along and Thomas Jefferson won. Thomas' election was known as the revolution of 1800 but many would debate that it is hardly a revolution at all. The fact that Thomas Jefferson was the first republican-democrat president. __Due to the lasting effects of Jefferson's presidency the revoltion of 1800 should be considered revolution.__ The replublican and democratic parties are the most predominant parties in the elections today so I would say that his presidency did help the politics evolve into its current state today. The Federalist party had strongly opposed the election of Thomas Jefferson who was a democratic republican. When he won it was named the revolution of 1800. Jefferson was a decent president as far as they go, at least in my opinion. During his presidency he had purchased the Louisiana Territory from the French which nearly doubled the square footage of the country. This should be considered a revolutionary act. He had not fought for it but had earned it by purchasing it. He had also sent out Lewis and Clark to find a passage to the Pacific Coast and discovered near 300 different types of plants and animals. This is just another example of revolutionary advancement. Lewis and Clark and the Louisiana Purchase show how the decisions to elect Jefferson as president truly is a revolution.
