AP U.S. History Podcast, Mr. Shocket
Welcome, this podcast page is designed to go with the AP U.S. History book America Past and Present By Robert Divine. The podcast is designed to supplement the reading not replace it. If you have access to the books web site I recommend downloading the Power Point presentations that are supplied by the publisher and this podcast will go along with them very well.
Chapter 8 Podcast Jeffersonian Ascendancy: Theory and Prectice of Government
(1141 downloads)Download this episode (11 min)
Jeffersonian democrats theoretically declared their passion for liberty and equality. Nonetheless, they lived in a society whose members accepted slavery and sought to remove Native Americans from the path of the White man's progress. Jeffersonians also insisted upon a strict interpretation of the constitution, peaceful foreign relations, and reduction of the size and powers of the federal government. As president, however, Jefferson interpreted the Constitution broadly to accommodate the Louisiana Purchase, increased federal power to enforce the embargo of 1807, and led the country to the brink of war. Some Americans praised Jefferson's pragmatism; others felt betrayed.

Thanks for your podcasts. I am an APUSH teacher in New Bedford, MA. I found your podcasts on Itunes and was wondering if you had a full set. I think there were some for chapters 1-8 and then some from 27-35 or so. Also, what text do you refer to? We use Nash's 'The American Nation'. Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon. My email is nate@engineofsouls.com
I am a student who enjoys listening to these podcasts to help me retain key information and I was wondering if you were planing on continuing them as nothing new has been posted in a while. Please let me know (mizukey@ymail.com).
