APUSH Philadelphia Constitution three-fifths compromise

1a. Madison helped the passing of the Constitution by defending ridicule against it. He also supported the Great Compromise about representation in the legislature. He was also able to keep one of the few recollections of the events that happened in the Constitutional Convention. He later agreed that a Bill of Rights was fundamental to the Constitution and said he would do everything in his power to make it happen. b. While many of his peers did not approve of a Bill of Rights, in the end, he agreed that it was fundamental. He argued for any of the changes made in the Constitution even if his fellow Virginians did not agree with them. He even wrote letters to defend the Constitution against ridicule.

Civil War South North AP US History APUSH

Why the War Came 1a. The Northerners thought that slavery was responsible for the ?backwardness? of the South. They viewed themselves as equal free men and the Southerners were just lazy and uninstructed. The Southerners were beginning to believe that all Northerners were abolitionists, and that they had lost sight of basic American values. 1b. Both sides believed that slavery had to either expand or die. There was no in between. 1c. Donald said that the issue of slavery in the territories was just a surrogate because it wasn't the real dividing issue. It was other things such as stereotypes or the South unifying with itself. 1d. I believe that slavery was a major dividing issue between the North and the South, but it was not as important as they say.

?? ?? THE GIANT AHAP REVIEW OUTLINE! Horace Greeley High School Europeans Colonize North America (1600 ? 1640) *English Interest in Colonization* - By the sixteenth century, many countries, including Spain, France and the Netherlands, had established colonies in the New World. Until the foundation of Jamestown, however, the English didn?t have any successful permanent colonies in North America. - Prior to Jamestown, Sir Walter Raleigh of the Sea Dogs formed a joint stock company and received a charter to found a colony on Roanoke Island in 1584. It failed, and he tried again in 1585 and 1587. Both were failures, and the fate of the 1587 colony remains a mystery (all colonists disappeared).

Megan: Our goal with our Reconstruction plans was to simply find a compromise between the Radical Republicans? plans and Johnson?s plans. We aimed to find the middle ground so that Reconstruction would not only be executed as efficiently as possible, but so that the Northerners would not feel like they fought the war in vain or for a lost cause. African Americans? rights would further be ensured and Southerners woud be able to let go of their former way of life.
