The Articles of Confederation and the Constitution directly relate to the time period in which they were developed and the compromise between the wants and the needs of the people. The administration of George Washington created many precedents within our government and inadvertently allowed for the two party system to develop because of different interpretations of the Constitution. Essential Questions: How did the Americans unite together to gain their independence from the British and what immediate changes were necessary? What led to the writing of the U.S. Constitution?

The concept of manifest destiny, transcendentalism and the second Great Awakening helped develop a unique American culture throughout antebellum America. The Monroe Doctrine set a tone to American foreign policy and allowed the nation to expand its territory through huge land gains in the early and mid 1800s. Essential Questions: How did the U.S. mature as a nation militarily, politically and economically during the Jeffersonian age to the Era of Good Feelings? How did the Age of Jackson and the democratization of American politics lead to sweeping changes in American government, society and economy and usher in the reform movement?

B : A1-5, B1-3, D3-5 Interdisciplinary: NJCCCS Technological Literacy 8.1A, 8.1B Enduring Understandings (The big ideas): Land gains made in the Mexican War coincided with the growing Abolitionist movement and American politicians were left to debate the slave status of these potential states. The California gold Rush in 1849 directly leads to the Compromise of 1850 and the potential for Civil War. Poor Presidential leadership encouraged sectional tension during the 1840s and 1850s. Abraham Lincoln was able to guide the Union through the Civil War using a combination of good sense, strong policies and unwavering will. The assassination of Abraham Lincoln directly affected the Reconstruction policies implemented in the Post Civil War era. The era of Reconstruction did not properly finish the job of rebuilding and readmitting the Southern states after the war. This led to a prolonged era of discrimination and segregation in the south. Essential Questions: How did Sectionalism and the Slavery Issue come to dominate the American mind and politics in the decade after the Mexican War? What issues proved decisive in dividing the nation on the eve of the Civil War? When the nation descended into Civil War, who was instrumental in maintaining national unity and by what means did they do so? In the aftermath of Civil War, how could Reconstruction be accomplished to re-unite the nation? What options made rapid and successful reunification problematic after four years of war? Concepts What students will know Core Content/Objectives Sectional tensions: the acquisition of vast territories in the Mexican War, Slavery s viability in new territories, the Compromise of 1850, Popular Sovereignty, the Fugitive Slave Act, Uncle Tom s Cabin, Radical Abolitionism.
