APUSH Terms 2024-2025

AP US History Terms for All Units

Remember, Terms are due to your team members and will need to be submitted to Google Classroom TWO DAYS prior to a quiz/test! Everyone needs a fair chance to study the terms. All members of the group must work on the document that will be submitted. The document's edit history will be used to determine who worked on the document and how much. Only the person who originally created the document is able to submit it to Google Classroom. If your group is having a problem, please see me ASAP. Terms are vital to success on the AP Exam because you are expected to know a variety of people, events and concepts across all areas of American history – these will help with both the multiple choice AND written questions. Also note, some terms appear in more than one unit. Make sure you address how that term applies to the unit being studied.
