Volume 32 of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson covers a critical period in Jefferson's presidency. In March 1806, Jefferson was facing growing opposition from the Federalist Party, which was led by Alexander Hamilton. The Federalists were critical of Jefferson's policies, including his handling of the Louisiana Purchase and his opposition to the War of 1812.

Despite the opposition from the Federalists, Jefferson continued to pursue his agenda. In March 1806, he signed the Non-Importation Act, which prohibited the importation of British goods into the United States. The act was designed to pressure Great Britain to end its impressment of American sailors and to respect American neutrality.

The Non-Importation Act was not successful in achieving its goals. Great Britain refused to change its policies, and the act led to a decline in trade between the United States and Great Britain. However, the act did help to unite the country against Great Britain and to pave the way for the War of 1812.

The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 32 provides a valuable record of Jefferson's presidency during a critical period. The volume includes a wide range of documents, including letters, speeches, and reports. These documents provide insights into Jefferson's thoughts and actions on a variety of issues, including foreign policy, domestic policy, and the economy.

The Rotunda Edition of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson is a major scholarly achievement. The edition provides a comprehensive and accurate record of Jefferson's life and work, and it is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of the United States.
