1 Unit Three: Jackson, Reform, and Sectional Strife AP US History Unit 3 Overview OVERVIEW OF TIME SPAN: First, we will look at Andrew Jackson and the development of the 2 nd Party System. Andrew Jackson had an incredible effect upon the history of the US from 1825 through 1845 and election in 1828 marked a definite revolution in American politics as the "common man" was brought into a greater role in government. Next we will take a view of the formative years of the American character during the period 1790 through Particular attention will be given to the early reform and intellectual movements, where seeds of most major movements began to germinate: abolition, communalism, women's rights, temperance, and Utopianism. We will look at the increasing sectionalism leading up to the Civil War. During the first half of the 19th century, the US began to expand steadily westward with an eye to the Pacific coast. It was a time of Unionism and unity in one respect, and sectionalism and sectional rivalry in another respect. Lastly, we will look at how the Civil War both tore apart and forever changed America, and analyze the lingering effects of the conflict: socially, economically, psychologically; particularly as we discuss the years of Reconstruction. QUIZ DATES: (subject to change) Chapter 10: Tuesday, November 20 Chapter 11: Tuesday, November 27 Chapter 12: Tuesday, December 4 Chapter 13: Tuesday, December 11 Chapter 14: Tuesday, December 18 EXAM DATES: Unit 3 IDs Part One: Wednesday, December 6 Unit 3 IDs Part Two: Wednesday, December 19 Unit 3 Multiple Choice: Thursday, December 20 Unit 3 Essay: Friday, December 21 DBQ for unit 3 due Monday, January 7th

2 APUSH UNIT 3 THEMES 1) What were the advantages and disadvantages of the new politics of mass democracy? Were such things as the spoils system, party machines, and hoopla-driven campaigns more inevitable accompaniments of popular democracy, or could the people have been mobilized by a more open and less partisan system? 2) The decision of the Jackson administration to remove the Cherokee Indians to lands west of the Mississippi River in the 1830s was more a continuation of a policy that had been in effect since colonial time than a new policy. Assess the validity of this generalization with reference to the moral, political, constitutional and practical concerns that shaped national policy between 1789 and 1830s. 3) What particular qualities did the new religious awakening give to the early American culture? Why did so many of its energies move toward the reform of society? What did these reform movements contribute to American culture? 4) What made women such prominent leaders in the religious and reform movements? How did the women s rights movement compare with the other movements of the period? What obstacles did women reformers face? Why did women often have more difficulty working on their behalf than they did advocating other causes? 5) How did the literature of the period reflect the nation s evolving view of itself and challenges facing it? 6) How did slavery affect whites-those who owned slaves and those who did not? How did blacks respond to the condition of slavery? 7) How did the South move from viewing slavery as a necessary evil to proclaiming it a positive good? 8) How effective were the abolitionists in achieving their goals? Did they hasten or delay the end of slavery? Why were they so controversial in the North, were slavery had been abolished decades before? 9) Was American expansion across North America an inevitable development? How was the idea of Manifest Destiny used to justify expansionism? 10) What were the causes and consequences of the Texas revolt? Why did Texans remain for a time an independent nation rather than become a state of the Union right away? What current and future problems and the disagreement over the Texas issue expose? 11) Why was the Texas annexation so controversial? What might have been the consequence had Texas remained an independent nation? 12) What caused the Mexican War? Did Polk provoke the Texas boundary conflict in order to gain California and/or expand slavery, as war opponents like Lincoln charged? 13) Analyze the benefits and costs of the Mexican War both immediately and in the long run of American history. 14) Was the Compromise of 1850 a wise effort to balance sectional differences or a futile attempt to push the slavery issue out of sight? Why was the reaction of both North and South so negative?

3 15) Why did Douglas s popular sovereignty approach to the slavery question prove to be unworkable in Kansas? What effects did the controversy over Kansas (and subsequent events leading up to the election of 1860) have on the Democratic Party, Douglas s political future, and the Republican Party? 16) Analyze how each of the major crisis events of the 1850s contributed to the coming Civil War. 17) How could a fanatical and violent man like John Brown come to be regarded as a hero by millions of northerners? What lessons did the South learn from northern reaction to Brown s trial and execution? 18) Since Lincoln had guaranteed to protect slavery in the states where it existed, why did seven southern states secede shortly after he was elected? Why was another compromise, even the discussion of a possible compromise, no longer acceptable to many southerners? 19) What were Lincoln s greatest strengths as president? Were his wartime abridgments of civil liberties and his treatment of the Copperheads justified? 20) How was the impact of the Civil War different for the soldiers and civilians of the North and South? 21) Examine why the Union won the Civil War? Was the result due to: military, political economic, or diplomatic factors? 22) Should the Civil War be seen primarily as: a. -a war to save the Union? b. -a war to free the slaves? c. -a war of northern aggression? Why? What name would you give the conflict? 23) How did the war itself reflect and affect American attitudes toward race? Why were the black Union soldiers so critical in this regard? 24) Analyze the effects of Lincoln s assassination on the course of Reconstruction? In what ways, if any, would Reconstruction have been different? 25) How did both Southern and Northern racial attitudes shape Reconstruction, and what effect did Reconstruction have on race relations and the conditions of blacks? Did Reconstruction really address the problem of race? 26) How truly radical was radical Reconstruction? What was really motivating the radical, idealism or politics 27) Was Reconstruction: -a noble experiment that failed? -a vengeful Northern punishment of the South? -a weak effort that did not go far enough? -or the best that could have been expected under the circumstances?
