In this video Heimler takes you through a full review of the AP U.S. History curriculum for Unit 4.
Period 4 concentrates on the sweeping changes taking place in the early republic of the United States. Beginning with the Revolution of 1800 in which Thomas Jefferson took office in a peaceful transfer of power, the nation was set for a lot of change.
Political parties experienced changes and realignment. As the Federalists fell out of relevance, especially as a result of their opposition to the War of 1812, the Democratic Republicans assumed the mantle of the nation's sole political party. With the party, two factions emerged: the Democrats and the National Republicans. Eventually those two factions would harden into proper political parties: the Democrats and the Whigs.
American also experienced a sweeping economic and social change in the Market Revolution. Farming and industry from all over the continent became increasingly interwoven in large part due to the rise of agricultural technologies like the cotton gin and transportation technologies like the steam engine and canals.
This period also was the context for a change in the democratic process. More men were demanding the franchise unconnected to property ownership, and in many states, they got it. Later, women would call on this same right at the Seneca Falls Convention, but for them the franchise was still a long way off.
In this period we also see the rise of the Second Great Awakening which spread throughout the states due to the organization of camp meetings and new kinds of preachers like Charles Finney. The message of this Second Great Awakening focused on the reformation of society and therefore gave birth to the early temperance movement, women's rights movement, and stoked the fires of abolitionism.
This unit ends by considering the role and resistance of African Americans in the early republic as well as the central place slavery held in southern society.
