Unit+6+-+The+Antebellum+Era+12-13

__Unit Overview__
toc This unit will focus on the events of the early nineteenth century that in many ways, paved the way for a greater divide in America that ultimately led to the Civil War. Things looked to be going well following the end of the War of 1812 and the death of the Federalist Party. The nation appeared to be unified and nationalism was at its peak. The economy took a brief hit during the nation's first economic panic, but for the most part, was growing steadily. The right to vote was expanded greatly, albeit, many people continued to be shut out. Then, the culture began to take on a reform movement and this led people to question the morality of slavery, especially in the North. This debate encompassed not only morality, but politics, economics, and even national expansion and in many ways, led to the Civil War.

__Essential Questions__

 * What factors led to the surge in nationalism during the early 1800s? To what extent was the end of the War of 1812 responsible for this surge?
 * What is Jacksonian Democracy and how truly did Jackson embody these principles as president?
 * What factors helped America's economy to grow steadily? What could have enhanced its growth even more during this time period?
 * How did the Second Great Awakening differ from the First Great Awakening? How did this lead to, in some ways, the Civil War?
