<p>Okay, I’ll ask a question:</p>
<p>What was the nickname given to Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative? (Probably not going to be tested, but I love this one!)</p>
<p>STARWARS!!</p>
<p>What did Andrew Johnson accomplish with his foreign policy?</p>
<p>puggly, they didn’t paint portrait landscapes, they painted landscapes (portraits and landscapes are two different things)</p>
<p>Johnson’s foreign policy revolved around Vietnam- which developed as a result of the policy of containment (George McKennan?) and the Domino Theory. He increased US involvement (Gulf Tonkin Resolution) and oversaw the Tet Offensive, which turned public opinion against him even though it was successful militarily.</p>
<p>@santeria</p>
<p>That’s Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ). </p>
<p>ftwpker asked for Andrew Johnson’s foreign policy. I’m not really sure of what Andrew managed to achieve in terms of foreign policy. Although, it seems likely that ftwpker probably meant to ask of LBJ.</p>
<p>Santeria its Andrew Johnson(Reconstruction era), not Lyndon B. Johnson</p>
<p>@NiteStriker Nope asking bout Andrew Johnson, there was a question on multiple choice question asking what he accomplished with his foreign policy and turns out to be significant in my opinion</p>
<p>I know that Johnson’s Secretary of State, William H. Seward, bought Alaska from Russia. Does that count? :D</p>
<p>YAY! Ya that was like his most significant foreign policy. I hadn’t known that had i not wikied him</p>
<p>Wow, I wasn’t aware that “Seward’s Folly” was during the Andrew Johnson administration. I’ll keep that in mind.</p>
<p>So, next question:
What was the difference between Booker T. Washington’s and W.E.B. Du Bois’ ideas on racial inequality?</p>
<p>@ftwpker
Well, I’m glad you put up that question. Previously, I didn’t know that the U.S. gained Alaska during Johnson’s Administration. I had to review my book to figure that one out :)</p>
<p>@sd6
Washington wanted blacks to get an education and gain a higher economic status before demanding equal rights. Du Bois disagreed with Washington and stated that blacks needed equal rights before they could become self-reliant.</p>
<p>Next Question: Why did inflation increase during Nixon’s and Carter’s presidency?</p>
<p>Ha wow I guess it didn’t cross my mind that someone would ask about Andrew Johnson’s foreign policy</p>
<p>^Vietnam spending, rising energy costs, federal budget deficits, rising healthcare costs</p>
<p>Oh thanks for correcting me Santeria on the Hudson River School</p>
<p>I was doing a practice test but one of the questions i think has the wrong answer:</p>
<ol>
<li>The Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson did which of the following?</li>
</ol>
<p>A. Denounced business combinations in restraint of trade
B. Declared that the Fourteenth Amendment applied principally to the protection of corporations
C. Sanctioned separate but equal public facilities for African Americans
D. Defined the Constitution as color blind
E. Empowered Congress to cancel treaties with American Indian tribes unilaterally</p>
<p>they say the answer is B but im thinking its C. Anyone have some insight into this?</p>
<p>It’s definitely C. </p>
<p>Plessy v Fergusson had nothing to do with corporations</p>
<p>The 14th amendment mainly states that all people, including blacks, who are either naturalized or born in the U.S. are citizens.</p>
<p>thanks NiteStriker, the test had many incorrect answers. guess i wont be doing multiple choice questions from that site again. </p>
<p>Btw NiteStriker, do you know any online multiple choice questions for US?</p>
<p>Sparknotes has a few: [SparkNotes:</a> AP History: Test Center](<a href=“http://testprep.sparknotes.com/testcenter/ap/history/]SparkNotes:”>http://testprep.sparknotes.com/testcenter/ap/history/)
You have to make an account on their website before you can take those tests.</p>
<p>There are also a few other websites with online questions but I don’t remember any of those :(</p>
<p>Can someone go over Perestroika and the whole fall of the Russian Communist State?</p>
<p>Also, how about some Korean/Vietnam war review.</p>
<p>Why did the French pull out of Vietnam?</p>
<p>France pulled out of Vietnam after humuliating defeat at Dien Bien Phu and not enough money to control their colony</p>
<p>Perestroika was Gorbachev’s policy of introducing economic reforms. </p>
<p>The U.S. engaged in the Korean war after North Korea attempted to invade South Korea to reunite the two Korean countries. North Korea was predominantly Communist. South Korea mainly adopted a Democratic government. Thus, the U.S. supported South Korea by sending troops to repel North Korean troops. I think at some point, the US and South Korea almost won the war until China decided to intervene. Either way, the war ended in a stalemate. Both of the countries are still divided today.</p>
<p>As for the Vietnam War. I think the French mainly decided to leave since they failed in their attempts to secure Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, etc).</p>
<p>and it was the gulf of tonkin resolution that said we must interfere when communists take over…or was that the truman doctrine?

<em>did the majority of americans agree or disagree with the policy containment and how did the majority respond to the war in vietnam? what groups of people were heavily for the war…which groups of people were heavily against it?</em>**</p>
