In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 6 Topic 13 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 6 (1865-1898).
Politics in the Gilded Age were lethargic and corrupt. Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats pushed a strong legislative agenda. That is until the Populist Party showed up and woke them from their slumber.
On the city level, politics was dominated by political machines, the most notorious of which was Tammany Hall in New York led by the infamous Boss Tweed. Political machines corrupted the political process, to be sure, but they also provided benefits to immigrants stuck in low-wage jobs.
If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.
This video is aligned with the AP U.S. History Curriculum and Exam Description for Unit 6 Topic 13, and all the key concepts thereunto appertaining.

taking apush this year, and i had my unit 6 test today. last night i binge watched this whole playlist (and took notes), which helped get me to an A on the sbmc!! so thanks man (also my friend did the same for unit 5 and also got an A.. clearly something’s working). keep it up !!

[@ac-xb8zp]

i haven't learned a single thing all year and i've been watching your videos since friday from unit 1 til now (hopefully i'll be able to watch up to unit 9 by wednesday, digital exam day). thank you so much for making these!!!! :D surprisingly i find it very interesting seeing how america developed over time, and i am starting to see how it will eventually develop to what it is now. anyway, will you be making videos for AP european history? because i really regret not watching your videos sooner.

You’re the only one who taught me😭 I love you. my teacher sucks

[@yesjamesin]

These are just so helpful. Thank you sir

[@corvusmay1041]

THIS! In you learn what everything means, but not how they connect, but this video was incredibly informational and helped me understand the gilded age politics in no way that my teacher could!

[@MLBNation]

These videos are so helpful, you don't even understand... I'm just worried that eventually later in the semester, we will be ahead of you, and then all I'll have to learn from is the textbook :(

[@heimlershistory]

Well I'm glad to hear it... I'm aiming to have them complete by the end of March so even if your class gets ahead of me, they'll all be there in time to study for the exam...
