In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 5 Topic 5 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 5 (1844-1877).

With the massive wave of Irish and German immigrants arriving in America, new cultures were being brought to bear on American manufacturing cities. In response, a nativist movement to oppose these folks rose up, most notably the Know Nothing Party.

Additionally, there were regional differences and conflict with respect to slavery. In the North, abolitionism was not the dominant position, but it certainly was influential through such publications at the Liberator and Uncle Tom's Cabin. The majority of northerners opposed slavery not on moral grounds but on economic grounds, a position which gave rise to the Free Soil Movement.

But the conflict over slavery continued to push north and south apart, most acutely after John Brown's Raid on Harpers Ferry.

If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.
