1. Explain the radicalism and limitations of the American Revolution. What were American grievances? Was there anything "revolutionary" about the conduct of war?
2. Explain the rise of the West (the area between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River) between 1763 and the Age of Jackson. How did the rise of the West undermine the First Party System and expand democratic participation? Were Western attitudes and interests more aligned with the commercial North or the slaveholding South between roughly 1790 and 1830?
