Hamiltons Financial Plan
Alexander Hamilton proposed an assumption plan to consolidate state and national debts. The plan would have the federal government assume all Revolutionary War debts owed by the states and individuals, and collect new tariffs and taxes to pay it off over time. This benefited northern industrialists and financiers who were owed debt payments, but hurt southern states that had already paid off their debts and farmers who faced new taxes. The plan increased sectional divisions between northern and southern states and intensified wealth disparities.

AP Psychology - Research Methods
1) Psychology research aims to understand human behavior scientifically. It relies on empirical research methods to test hypotheses and establish causal relationships.
2) There are several types of descriptive research methods, including case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation. However, these are limited because they cannot prove causation.
3) Experimental methods allow researchers to test hypotheses about cause-and-effect relationships by manipulating the independent variable and measuring its impact on the dependent variable. Control groups help rule out alternative explanations.
AP Psychology - Prologue/History
1) Psychology is the study of individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Our feelings do not always match our behaviors - we may feel one way but act differently.
2) The science of psychology started in the late 1800s but concepts have existed for longer. It has gone through about 5 waves of different approaches.
3) Today's eclectic approach incorporates 7 perspectives - biopsychology, evolutionary, psychoanalytic, behavioral, humanist, cognitive, and social-cultural. Psychologists choose approaches depending on each situation and client.

The Civil Rights Movement from 1945-1970 successfully worked to end segregation and discrimination against African Americans. Key events that advanced the movement included President Truman's 1948 integration of the military, the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling declaring segregated schools unconstitutional, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech. The 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act were landmark pieces of legislation that outlawed segregation and expanded voting rights.

After World War 1, the US experienced a period of economic instability and labor unrest which led to a period of intense fear and paranoia known as the Red Scare. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer cracked down on suspected communists, detaining and deporting thousands. Immigration policies became more restrictive through laws like the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 and the National Origins Act of 1924 amid nativist sentiment. The 1920s also saw cultural flourishing, especially through new forms like jazz, which developed out of African American traditions and spread nationwide through radio and movies.
Standard 15
The USA entered WWI in 1917 for several reasons: German unrestricted submarine warfare sank American merchant ships and violated free trade; the Zimmerman Telegram proposed a German alliance with Mexico against the US; and President Wilson hoped to make the world safe for democracy. When the US joined the Allies, it provided troops and supplies that helped tip the balance in their favor. The war had significant impacts on the US such as women entering the workforce, the passage of women's suffrage and prohibition, and the Great Migration of African Americans to northern cities. The Treaty of Versailles after WWI was harsh on Germany and contributed to the start of WWII.
