neutrality

=**Neutrality**=
 * Definition of neutrality: To be on neither side of a quarrel or disagreement; not taking sides.**
 * Explanation: Neutrality relates to Thomas Jefferson and Chapter 9, because when Britain and France were in war with each other, America was neutral and continued on with their lives. They continued trading with Britain until France decided that it would be smart to attack Britain's traders to hurt their economy. Unfortunately, America took the fall on this as well because they were the ones trading with Britain. The American ships were attacked until Thomas Jefferson and congress declared an Embargo. The embargo was when all trading with America was stopped until they were respected as a neutral nation. This was a risk for Jefferson to take, but it had to be done, and was successful. I think the fact that the Americans wanted neutrality also contributed to the attacks because France thought that America was bragging that they were free of war. France may have taken their anger out on America.**

This picture represents neutrality to me, because the baby is neutral to the unhappy parents who are getting a divorce. Since he is a baby, he won't be able to decide which parent he stays with, which also keeps him neutral. Also, this photo represents me because it is ugly. thanks for the easy points Mr. Kannan.

I chose the book "Boys R US" from the series "the click" to be a modern representation of the word neutrality. I chose this book because it deals with a group of girls who always create drama within their clique. Massie and Alicia are fighting for popularity when Alicia leaves Massie's clique to create her own clique. Claire stays neutral by hanging out with both groups. Claire represents America, and Massie and Alicia are Britain and France fighting with each other.

This line from section 9 is a direct form of neutrality. "Because it was neutral, the United States continued trading with both Britain and France." This line is from page 323 in the book.
