APUSH Midterm Review Notes 2014 3/5 Compromise: the compromise that stated that a slave could count at 3/5 of a person in a population count that determined a state?s representation in the House of Representatives Anne Hutchinson & Antinomianism: Anne Hutchinson was a woman in the Massachusetts Bay Colony that had a strong belief that disagreed with the Puritan idea of predestination. Hutchinson held weekly discussions in her house after Church, where Church members could discuss the sermon. Her extreme beliefs caused it to become evident that she believed in Antinomianism, a view that the Puritans held as dangerous, and believed that God could intervene at anytime to save a person, thereby disagreeing with predestination.

The Seizing of the Liberty A riot broke out yesterday at the docks when the customs officials there attempted to seize a merchant ship. The ship (called the Liberty) is owned by one of the more wealthy merchants of Boston, John Hancock. Mr. Hancock is reported to be in league with the Sons of Liberty, a group made up of lawyers, merchants, and artisans. They?along with the Daughters of Liberty?are known for boycotts, burning stamped papers, and violent protests.

The Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution are two very different documents set out to achieve a somewhat similar goal. The goal of the Article of Confederation is to create a loose union. It ended up that the state held most of the power. The U.S. Constitution was designed in an effort to repair the problems caused by the Articles of Confederation and the problems that still remain unaddressed.

Julianne Groshon AP U.S. History ? Chapter 4 - American Life in the Seventeenth Century The Unhealthy Chesapeake Life in the American wilderness was harsh. Diseases like malaria, dysentery, and typhoid killed many. Few people lived to 40 or 50 years. In the early days of colonies, women were so scarce that men fought over all of them. The Chesapeake region had fewer women and a 6:1 male to female ratio is a good guide. Few people knew any grandparents. A third of all brides in one Maryland county were already pregnant before the wedding (scandalous). Virginia, with 59,000 people, became the most populous colony. The Tobacco Economy The Chesapeake was very good for tobacco cultivation.

Jessica Zhou Mrs. Stauffer AP Lang- 5 2 October 2013 Douglass Rewrite In 1940, Wayne Dyer once said ?Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery? to delineate how the disobedience of slaves and the knowledge of unfairness is the only way to escape, connecting to the events of the autobiography, The Narrative of Frederick Douglass an American Slave. Frederick Douglass argument against slavery is cogent in its reasoning that slavery dehumanizes slaves and proposes the idea that the slave owners are unfavorably affected by slavery.

Chapter 7 Focus Questions Which points in Hamilton?s economic program were most controversial and why? Hamilton?s first reports to the public credit provoke immediate controversy. The problem with plan is that the least deserving of the reward would gain the most. The original owners of three-fifths of the debt certificates issued by the Continental Congress were Revolutionary patriots, most of whom sold their certificates for a fraction of its worth. Wealthy speculators purchased these certificates and stood to reap huge gains at the expense of the original owners. Hamilton?s report on a national bank was also controversial. Hamilton?s critics feared it was a dangerous scheme that would give a small, elite group special power to influence the government.
