AP Test Study Materials

Hey everyone! I know a few people in my class were wondering where to find a timeline that listed political eras instead of just important events, so I looked around and found political timeline that seemed very helpful:

  • 1800-1809- The Jeffersonian Revolution
  • 1810-1819- The Formative Years
  • 1820-1829- The Era of Good Feelings
  • 1940-1849- Seeds of Secession
  • 1850-1859- Sectionalism and Secession
  • 1860-1869- Radical Reconstruction
  • 1870-1879- The Gilded Age
  • 1880-1889- The Status Quo Politics
  • 1890-1899- The Agrarian Revolt
  • 1900-1909 - The Modern State
  • 1910-1919 - The Progressive Era
  • 1920-1929 - A Return to Normalcy
  • 1930-1939 - The New Deal Landslide
  • 1940-1949 - Rise of Money Politics
  • 1950-1959 - Cold War Politics
  • 1960-1969 - The Era of Civil Revolt
  • 1970-1979 - Seeds of Corruption
  • 1980-1989 - The Reagan Revolution

  2. For the Radical Reconstruction Era (1860-1869) I found this website; which is a timeline of the most critical turning points in the reconstruction era. I found it a helpful tool to recall the cause and effect of events during the period.

  3. Thanks for the post, Kim! In keeping with the timeline theme, here's one that I found that's more interactive and engaging. You can quickly scroll through it to remind yourself of the most important events, and if you're unsure about a particular event you can learn more by clicking on it. It's student-made, so some areas aren't as comprehensive as they could be, but I hope you find it useful!

  5. This is very helpful for organizing thoughts in last minute studying/cramming (especially if you're freaking out about the SAT II USH this weekend). Thanks for posting this! A even broader grouping could be: 1800-1860 = developing the US gov't and the slavery debate; 1860-1930 = Reconstruction, heavier industrialization, rise of the big corporations; 1930-1945 = Depression, recovery/WWII era; 1945-1990 = Cold War (w/ many subgroupings like Civil Rights movement, baby boom/"new" generation, etc.)
