What happened in the us in 1801?

In 1801, Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated as the third President of the United States, marking the first peaceful transfer of power between political parties in U.S. history. This event signified the transition from Federalist rule to Democratic-Republican leadership. Additionally, the Judiciary Act of 1801, passed in the final days of John Adams's presidency, created new federal judgeships, which Jefferson's administration later sought to repeal.
