Скачать или смотреть APUSH - Period 5 - The Rise of the Republican Party: How America Split Over Slavery

In the 1850s, the United States stood on the edge of collapse. Old political parties were breaking apart, violence was spreading in the West, and one question threatened to tear the nation in two: Should slavery expand?

This video explains, in clear and dramatic storytelling, how the Republican Party was born, why it grew so quickly, and how it reshaped American politics during Period 5. From the collapse of the Whig Party to the Kansas–Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, the Dred Scott decision, and the election of Abraham Lincoln, this narration shows how a new party emerged to challenge the spread of slavery—and why its success pushed the nation toward the Civil War.

Perfect for AP U.S. History, students, and anyone who wants an easy-to-understand explanation of one of the most important political shifts in American history.
