政府和英國簽訂了損害美國主權(quán)的杰伊條約。杰斐遜政府廢除上述4項法令,削減開支,減輕稅收,取消酒稅,鼓勵農(nóng)產(chǎn)品出口。為維護航海自由,1812—1814年美國進行了第2次對英戰(zhàn)爭。1814年12月,英美在今比利時的根特簽訂和約。北部發(fā)展海上貿(mào)易,擴大航運業(yè)。從19世紀初期起,大量資金投放于工商業(yè),工業(yè)生產(chǎn)得到發(fā)展。2/3的制造品由東北部生產(chǎn)。1820年北部對南部作出讓步,達成《密蘇里妥協(xié)案》,雙方爭執(zhí)暫時乎息。1814年美英戰(zhàn)爭即將結(jié)束時,聯(lián)邦黨召集哈特福德會議,圖謀分裂聯(lián)邦,但遭失敗,因而瓦解。1828年,成立了民主黨,推選A.杰克遜為總統(tǒng)候選人,杰克遜當選并連任總統(tǒng)至1837年3月。18281856年,民主黨和輝格黨成為對峙的兩大政黨。1848年,廢奴主義者,民主黨和輝格黨內(nèi)反對奴隸制的人組織了自由土壤黨,以在西部地域建立自由州為宗旨。1856年。1860年總統(tǒng)選舉中,共和黨候選人A.林肯獲勝。次年5月,林肯頒布《宅地法》,允許耕種西部土地5年的農(nóng)民,在繳納10美元證件費后獲得160英畝土地的使用權(quán),使在西部墾殖的廣大農(nóng)民,站在廢奴派一邊,孤立了南部同盟。南北戰(zhàn)爭以聯(lián)邦勝利宣告結(jié)束??植澜M織三K黨于1866年成立,對剛獲得自由的黑人施以私刑。標志著民主重建的結(jié)束。19世紀后半葉農(nóng)業(yè)機械化迅速發(fā)展。電力廣泛應(yīng)用于工業(yè),導(dǎo)致美國經(jīng)濟的全面發(fā)展。1903年美國奪取了巴拿馬運河區(qū)。在1912年總統(tǒng)選舉中,民主黨總統(tǒng)候選人T.W.威爾遜上臺。1916年,威爾遜當選連任。第一次世界大戰(zhàn)促進了美國的經(jīng)濟繁榮。美國國內(nèi)由于固定資本更新,建筑業(yè)興起,汽車和鋼鐵工業(yè)等擴大以及商品和資本輸出激增,1923年美國工商業(yè)出現(xiàn)了新高漲。但由于國內(nèi)新興工業(yè)畸形發(fā)展與生產(chǎn)過剩,使國民經(jīng)濟各部門比例嚴重失調(diào),生產(chǎn)和消費脫節(jié),農(nóng)業(yè)長期陷于慢性危機,1929年10月美國首先爆發(fā)經(jīng)濟危機,隨后資本主義各國陸續(xù)陷入19291933年世界性經(jīng)濟危機。1937年新的經(jīng)濟危機再度出現(xiàn)。8月14日,羅斯福與英國首相丘吉爾發(fā)表《大西洋憲章》,9月24日蘇聯(lián)政府聲明同意其基本原則,接著召開莫斯科三國會議,奠定了美英蘇戰(zhàn)時合作的基礎(chǔ)。1942年5月,美軍在中途島海戰(zhàn)中擊退日軍。1943年2月斯大林格勒戰(zhàn)役的勝利,使歐洲反法西斯戰(zhàn)爭的局勢發(fā)生根本性變化。1943年 11月,羅斯福、丘吉爾、斯大林舉行德黑蘭會議。7月,美英蘇三國首腦舉行波茨坦會議,美英就處理德國、波蘭等問題與蘇聯(lián)達成協(xié)議。杜魯門任命D.麥克阿瑟為盟國駐日最高統(tǒng)帥,美軍進駐日本,實現(xiàn)了由美國獨家控制日本的局面。1950年6月,朝鮮戰(zhàn)爭爆發(fā)。1955年7月美、英、法、蘇四國首腦會議召開,國際形勢有所緩和。在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)及朝鮮戰(zhàn)爭期間,由于有黑人參加作戰(zhàn),軍隊中取消了種族隔離制度,這一事實推動了國內(nèi)黑人爭取民權(quán)的斗爭。同時,由于他們卷入越南戰(zhàn)爭,支付巨額軍費,消耗了美國大量財富,使美國經(jīng)濟實力大為削弱,而聯(lián)邦德國和日本經(jīng)濟迅速發(fā)展,逐漸成為美國的競爭對手。1969年R.M.尼克松上臺后,美國陷入越戰(zhàn)泥淖不能自拔,經(jīng)常性的財政赤字和龐大的軍費開支,加劇了通貨膨脹,處于內(nèi)外交困境地。1975年5月,正式宣布越南戰(zhàn)爭結(jié)束。80年代,美蘇軍備競賽從數(shù)量方面轉(zhuǎn)向質(zhì)量方面。1987年,美國以保護海灣通航的名義,派遣軍事力量去海灣,同伊朗多次發(fā)生軍事沖突。迫使其退出科威特。1999年初,美國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)北約向南聯(lián)盟發(fā)動空中打擊。1987年10月雖發(fā)生股市暴跌風(fēng)潮,美國經(jīng)濟情況仍較平穩(wěn),但財政赤字和外貿(mào)赤字仍是美國經(jīng)濟的隱憂。2.
