APUSH Period 3 Review

3/26/2017

First off, if you aren't familiar with the period review videos for APUSH students from JoczProductions, you should become aware now. These are the best videos I've seen as far as offering concise APUSH reviews by period.

Of course, those of you aiming to score a 4 or 5 will want to put in some additional time reviewing so there are more helpful videos and resources below to help you.

Period 3 Review (JoczProductions)

The Road to Revolution

A solid command of the chain of events leading to the American Revolution, starting with the Proclamation of 1763 and the Sugar Act and ending with the Declaration of Independence is critical for success on the AP US History exam. In this two part lecture, Tom Richey summarizes these events from Parliament's taxes in the 1760s (Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Townshend Acts) to the events leading directly to the Revolution in the 1770s (Boston Tea Party, Intolerable Acts, Lexington and Concord).

Parliament Taxes the Colonies

The Road to Revolution

The Declaration of Independence

This review lecture, which I created for a general US History audience, explores the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the document's articulation of John Locke's Natural Rights philosophy, the circumstances that made the Continental Congress hesitate to endorse independence, the grievances leveled against George III, and the appeal to the world to recognize the independence of the United States.

The Constitution

These videos are great for quickly reviewing the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, and the ratification of the Constitution.

Native American Cultures

APUSH Key Concept 1.1

My lecture on Native American cultures is helpful in examining the cultures of the major tribal groups that dominated North America prior to European settlement. The material in this video addresses APUSH Key Concept 1.1.

Early American Colonization

APUSH Key Concept 1.3

The AP US History exam requires students to be familiar with the early colonization of the Americas by the Spanish, French, Dutch, and English. The video lectures on New Spain, New France, New Netherland, and the early English colonies will all be helpful in summarizing, comparing, and contrasting the motives and actions of the colonial powers and the Indians they encountered.

The Thirteen Colonies

APUSH Key Concept 2.1

The introductory lecture will be helpful in understanding the key characteristics of the Thirteen Colonies and how to compare and contrast the New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies. The additional lectures on the Virginia Colony and religious freedom in Colonial New England will be helpful in reviewing the details about political, economic, and social life in the Virginia and New England Colonies.
