The 'NEW' South [APUSH Review Unit 6 Topic 4] Period 6: 1865-1898

AP HEIMLER REVIEW GUIDE (formerly known as the Ultimate Review Packet):

Instagram: @heimlers_history

In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 6 Topic 4 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 6 (1865-1898).

In the years after the Civil War, some southerners pushed for an industrialization of the South since in many ways it was the industrial capability of the North that paved the way for victory in the war. In some isolated regions, this vision of the New South took hold, but in large measure, the Southern economy remained agricultural, mostly running on the labor of sharecroppers.

After the Compromise of 1877, segregation in the South was upheld in the Supreme Court decision in Plessy v Ferguson. The results of this decision meant that southern society deeply segregated itself into separate but (not) equal segments.

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

This video is aligned with the AP U.S. History Curriculum and Exam Description for Unit 6 Topic 4, and all the key concepts thereunto appertaining.

I’m just now finishing period 5 in apush! Thank you so much for making these videos. As a junior in high school, I have been struggling with 3 college courses. Your videos help so much especially with our upcoming practice dbq and leq for the final exam in May. I’m already watching these to get ahead and get ready for next period.

How do u know when someone is 1/8 black tho 😭😭

hey future me how's the 5 looking

[sarahmccoin]

Ouch! The term "the Blacks" is not good. Black people, Black folks, Black Americans, all okay according to what people of color have generally expressed, but not "the Blacks." For point of comparison, when we are talking about White folks today, are we more likely to say, "the Whites" or White people?
