First, do a little research on the size and capabilities of the U.S. Army and Navy between 1798 and 1812. (When you post what you have learned, make sure you cite a source for your info.)
Next, select one of three crises to research: The Quasi-War with France/XYZ Affair, the Barbary Wars, or Impressment/the Chesapeake Affair.
With your selected crisis, first provide an overview of the situation: The facts of the case, The main participants, the issues involved, important dates, etc.
Provide two alternate recommendations for American policy: in other words, what should be America's course of action? Again, provide two possible choices. These choices need to be realistic, in view of the country's capabilities at the time, as you have assessed those capabilities. Provide rationales for your choices.
