APUSH Mnemonic Device Archive 2011-2016

A mnemonic (with a silent "m"), or mnemonic device, is any learning technique that aids memory. Commonly encountered mnemonics are often verbal, such as a very short poem or a special word used to help a person remember something, particularly lists, but a mnemonic may instead be visual, kinesthetic or auditory. Mnemonics rely on associations between easy-to-remember constructs which can be related back to the data that are to be remembered. This is based on the observation that the human mind much more easily remembers spatial, personal, surprising, physical, sexual or humorous or otherwise meaningful information, as compared to retrieving arbitrary sequences.

Miss PINCKNEY (1795)

The Pinckney Treaty provisions: (Spanish concessions) The US was granted free navigation of the Mississippi River to the U.S. including right of deposit at the port city of New Orleans. This yielded large area north of Florida that had been in dispute for over a decade. The 31st parallel recognized as legal border between U.S. and Spanish Florida. Ratified by Senate in 1796.

Don't confuse Pinckney with the Jay Treaty of 1794

One of every two people in New York City in 1852 was born outside the United States. The Northern cities, seats of market culture, commercialism, manufacturing, were immigrant cities.

Miss Mary Del Tucky (border states during the Civil War)
The border states, Missouri Maryland, Delaware, and Kentucky - although committed to slavery chose to stay in the Union, They didn't secede and become part of the Confederacy. If they did it might have prolonged the Civil War by a few years. If Maryland joined the South it would have meant that Washington D.C., which was the U.S. capital, would have been surrounded by Confederate territory. It would have been much harder to defend. President Lincoln was careful not to do anything to offend those border states. Even when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation on Sept 22, 1862. It declared that all slaves in states in rebellion against the U.S. would be freed. It did not include the slave states that were the border states.

M/C question....
