CHAPTER 23 THE EVOLUTION OF POPULATIONS OUTLINE I. Population Genetics A. The modern evolutionary synthesis integrated Darwinian selection and Mendelian inheritance B. The genetic structure of a population is defined by its allele and genotype frequencies C. The Hardy-Weinberg theorem describes a nonevolving population II. Causes of Microevolution A. Microevolution is a generation-to-generation change in a population's allele or genotype frequencies B. The five causes of microevolution are genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, nonrandom mating, and natural selection III. Genetic Variation, the Substrate for Natural Selection A. Genetic variation occurs within and between populations B. Mutation and sexual recombination generate genetic variation

Civil War South North AP US History APUSH

Why the War Came 1a. The Northerners thought that slavery was responsible for the ?backwardness? of the South. They viewed themselves as equal free men and the Southerners were just lazy and uninstructed. The Southerners were beginning to believe that all Northerners were abolitionists, and that they had lost sight of basic American values. 1b. Both sides believed that slavery had to either expand or die. There was no in between. 1c. Donald said that the issue of slavery in the territories was just a surrogate because it wasn't the real dividing issue. It was other things such as stereotypes or the South unifying with itself. 1d. I believe that slavery was a major dividing issue between the North and the South, but it was not as important as they say.

Megan: Our goal with our Reconstruction plans was to simply find a compromise between the Radical Republicans? plans and Johnson?s plans. We aimed to find the middle ground so that Reconstruction would not only be executed as efficiently as possible, but so that the Northerners would not feel like they fought the war in vain or for a lost cause. African Americans? rights would further be ensured and Southerners woud be able to let go of their former way of life.
