APUSH Periods Explained
Period 1: 1491-1607
This period is basically everything that happened prior to the arrival of the English. The start of the period, 1491 (the year before Christopher Columbus âsailed the ocean blueâ), is really shorthand for âbefore the Europeans showed up.â The end of the period is 1607, the year that the English landed in Jamestown, Virginia and founded the first permanent English settlement in the New World. In a nutshell, this period focuses on Native Americans and on early, non-English exploration of the New World, especially that of the Spanish.
The big concepts for this period are:
Native American societies, especially the way they adapted to their environments
Spanish exploration and the affect it had on native populations (e.g., disease, warfare, the encomienda system)
The Columbian Exchange
Period 2: 1607-1754
The next period is largely focused on European (including the British this time) exploration and settlement. The beginning date is the founding of Jamestown, as discussed above. The end date is the start of the French and Indian War, which totally changed the game in the British colonies.
Motivations for and patterns of immigration by the Spanish, English, Dutch, and French
Interactions between Europeans and Native Americans
Characteristics of the 13 British colonies (including regional distinctions between the Southern, Middle Atlantic, and New England colonies)
Economic policies: mercantilism, the slave trade, salutary neglect
Period 3: 1754-1800
Here we start to focus exclusively on the British colonies that will turn into the United States. The starting year, 1754, is the beginning of the French and Indian War. This marked the end of salutary neglect and the beginning of growing tensions between the colonies and Great Britain. The period takes you through the tumultuous revolution and its aftermath to the year 1800, in which the new democracy is solidified by its first official peaceful transfer of power between two political parties.
Britainâs attempt to tighten control on the colonies following the French and Indian War
Building colonial resentment towards British policies (especially taxes)
The Revolutionary War
The Articles of Confederation (and the reasons for their failure)
The Constitution (drafting, contents, and ratification debate)
The Washington and Adams administrations, as well as the election of 1800
Relations between the young U.S. and European powers, as well as Native Americans
Period 4: 1800-1848
The U.S. was growing in territory and strength, but faced internal threats to its stability.
Evolution of political parties
Westward expansion (including Louisiana Purchase)
Growing sectionalism and tensions over the expansion of slavery (e.g., Missouri Compromise)
Growth of the abolitionist and womenâs rights movements
Industrial Revolution and the growth of railroads
Period 5:1844-1877
Period 5 centers on the Civil Warâits causes, events, and aftermath.
Westward expansion (Manifest Destiny, Mexican American War)
Increased immigration (especially from Ireland and Asia) and the resulting tensions
Growing tensions over slavery and statesâ rights
Civil War (major events, advantages/disadvantages of each side, outcome)
Reconstruction
Period 6: 1865-1898
This is the Gilded Age, where America was bright and shiny on the outside (industrial growth, wealth, railroads, big cities, population growth) and dark and grimy underneath (terrible working conditions, socioeconomic stratification, racism, political corruption).
Industrialization and the growth of big business (and all the good and bad that came with that)
Migration: immigration and urbanization
Racial tensions and segregation
Period 7: 1890-1945
This period sees the United States starting to get pulled onto the world stage in a big way for the first time.
Progressive reforms
Imperialism
World War I
The Great Depression (causes, effects, the New Deal)
World War II
Period 8: 1945-1980
In the aftermath of World War II, the United States emerged as one of two major world powers. The Cold War dominated foreign policy, while domestically, the U.S. went through many social changes.
Civil Rights Movement
Increasing polarization of society between liberal and conservative ideologies
Period 9: 1980-Present
This period begins with the election of Ronald Reagan and goes to contemporary times
End of the Cold War
War on terrorism
Technological development
Environmental issues
