Period 3 of the APUSH exam is one of the most important sections of the exam (accounts for 12% of the exam questions). The period covers the beginning of the French and Indian War (1754) to the Election of 1800. Period 3 also covers American Independence, the Constitutional Convention, and the presidencies of George Washington and John Adams. In this live stream, students are taken through an aerial view of Period 3 and one lucky student had a chance to win a million dollars (no actual money will be paid out). Enjoy!
