<p>Next Question: In what ways did federal legislation and federal judicial decisions between 1787 and 1860 affect the life of the African American in United States?</p>
<p>-obviously the Fugitive Slave Laws, Missouri Compromise, Compromise of 1850, Dred Scott. What else?</p>
<p>1817: Moderate</p>
<p>1819: I think there was a financial crisis at this point</p>
<p>1837: Recession, I think it was mainly caused by Andrew Jackson’s desire to kill the National bank</p>
<p>1857: moderately healthy?</p>
<p>1869: I think it was kinda bad since the country recently fought the Civil War</p>
<p>1873: Moderate?</p>
<p>1893: Recession, can’t really remember the details</p>
<p>1920:Healthy Economy?</p>
<p>1923: Healthy Economy</p>
<p>1933: Great Depression</p>
<p>1947: Very Healthy Economy. WWII led to a major economic boom and put more people into work</p>
<p>1969: I think it was bad. I know for a fact that the U.S. was involved in Vietnam at the time</p>
<p>1979: I’ll say that it was bad here. Inflation caused by OPEC Oil Embargo, Vietnam War and other reasons</p>
<p>2069: We’ll just have to find out. Hopefully this won’t be on the AP Exam :D</p>
<p>1769: I think it was kinda bad. Didn’t the British enforce their Navigation Acts?</p>
<p>1469: Depends on which country you’re referring to since the colonies weren’t established</p>
<p>Is the Teller Amendment that “constitution” for the phillipenes?</p>
<p>anybody find the practice tests in reviewbooks, websites (sparknotes), etc to be harder than the real thing?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was thinking of Slave Codes which limited the rights of slaves but those were state policies.</p>
<p>I thought the Teller Amendment was the “constitution” for Cuba?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, it’s another name for the Platt Amendment which the U.S. placed in Cuba’s constitution</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>It was a joint resolution in Congress which allowed the U.S. to wage war against Spain in Cuba</p>
<p>I thought that was the Platt one, or do I have it backwards…?</p>
<p>Adding a little more…</p>
<p>1923: booming economy
1979: stagflation would be more correct
1893: depression</p>
<p>stagflation = prices go up while output falls</p>
<p>OH so Platt and Teller are interchangeable?</p>
<p>So what was used for the Phillipenes?</p>
<p>" anybody find the practice tests in reviewbooks, websites (sparknotes), etc to be harder than the real thing? "</p>
<p>Is that question directed to people who have taken the exam? I’ve taken released MC sections if that counts, and I have found the prep book questions to be harder. (REA) (68 on released MC vs. 50 in REA) </p>
<p>I’ve been using Crash Course though, so that might be why the released tests have been easy for me.</p>
<p>Teller vs. Platt Amendment?</p>
<p>I always confuse the two.</p>
<p>What is the Dawes Act and what is the dawes plan?</p>
<p>Dawes Act = give Indians their own little parcels of land (worked w/ the reservation system) In the end it just took more land away from the Indians.</p>
<p>Here’s what I’ve got-
1817: Era of good feelings, generally moderate to good.
1819: Panic of 1819.
1837: Panic.
1857: Panic.
1869: Not really sure, just put it in for the 69. Probably not too good.
1873: Panic.
1893: Panic.
1921 (I meant '21, not '20): Was actually, if you recall, a time of brief postwar recession. I think a lot of people forget that this occurred before the “New Era.”
1923: Great.
1933: Horrible.
1947: Great.
1969: Not really sure, I think pretty bad.
1979: Bad, inflation 13%. 20% in 1980.
2069: Lol.
1769: No idea, put it for the 69.
1469: No idea, put it for the 69.</p>
<p>Teller Amendment: US didn’t intend to take control of Cuba, Cuba would be autonomous.
Platt Amendment: Forced Cuba to-
-never sign treaty with foreign power that would impair its independence
-never build up excessive public debt
-allow US to intervene in CUba to maintain law/order
-allow US to have naval bases</p>
<p>So these are not the same: Teller said they would not intervene, Platt forced Cuba to agree that US could intervene.</p>
<p>I know this a lot of information but this is a potential DBQ/essay question.</p>
<p>Foreign policies of Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson?
Foreign policies of Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Nixon?
Foreign policies of Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Bush?</p>
<p>teller- the United States will not, at any time, seek to control Cuba.</p>
<p>platt- when the US wasnt included in the cuban constitution, the US passed the platt that said the US had certain military forces that could remained stationed in cuba</p>
<p>Sorry I have another question…
Can someone explain all the early rebellions? (Shays, bacons, whiskey, stono)
I always get them mixed up</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually no, I made a mistake in my previous post. Check it again to see what I edited.</p>
<p>
It was weird way of helping Europe’s poor economies after WWI ended. Basically the U.S would loan money to Germany. Germany paid that money to Britain and France since it had to pay war reparations (conditions of Treaty of Versailles). Britian and France payed that money back to the U.S. since they also owed money.</p>
<p>Basically:</p>
<p>U.S. money -> Germany -> France and Britain -> repeat the cycle</p>
<p>The Teller Amendment said the the US had no intention of taking political control of Cuba. The Platt Amendment basically made Cuba a protectorate for the US and was basically subject to US control.</p>
