AP College Board Key Concepts
4.1 The United States developed the world’s first modern mass democracy and celebrated a
new national culture, while Americans sought to define the nation’s democratic ideals and to
reform its institutions to match them.
4.2 Developments in technology, agriculture, and commerce precipitated profound changes in
U.S. settlement patterns, regional identities, gender and family relations, political power, and
distribution of consumer goods.
4.3 U.S. interest in increasing foreign trade, expanding its national borders, and isolating itself
from European conflicts shaped the nation’s foreign policy and spurred government and private
initiatives.
