Here’s a summary of the DBQs since 1999:
2010 - Puritanism
2009 - Slavery from 1775-1830
2008 - Vietnam War
2007 - Agriculture 1865-1900
2006 - Republican motherhood
2005 - American Revolution
2004 - French and Indian War
2003 - FDR New Deal
2002 - Reform movements 1825-1850
2001 - Cold War, Eisenhower
2000 - Organized labor, 1875-1900
1999 - American Revolution (unity and identity before Revolution)</p>

My concern with predicting that there will be a Gilded Age one is that there was a DBQ on organized labor in 2000. I’ll acknowledge that it’s only one small aspect of the Gilded Age, so I’d say that the main two choices are Gilded Age and Progressivism.</p>

42

I really hope it’s on Progressivism. If it isn’t Progressivism, Imperialism, the Cold War, or the Reconstruction, I’m reaaaaaally screwed.</p>

Any guess on what FRQs could be based on trends?</p>

43

What period is IMPERIALISM?</p>

44

Teddy Roosevelt/Big Stick Diplomacy and that general period, including the Spanish-American War, the Panama Canal, the Roosevelt Corollary, etc. is considered the age of American Imperialism.</p>

45

1890s-1920s ish</p>

46

Not sure if you guys saw this comment elsewhere already, but some people predict that the DBQ will deal with the Civil War since it is its 150-year anniversary.</p>

47

My teacher always said the Gilded age was like a layer cake. Seems like it has huge changes in EVERYTHING…</p>

48

Causes of the Civil War was tested back in 1987. Would a Civil War DBQ focus more on the changes that took place during/because of the Civil War?</p>

49

if the dbqs on teh civil war, im set. :D</p>

50

My guess would be that a DBQ question would probably examine either the causes or consequences of the Civil War, but not the war itself.</p>

51

I wouldn’t mind it being about the Jacksonian Era either… :P</p>

52

J-j-j-j-jackson</p>

53

either way a civil war dbq will make my day. a jackson one wouldnt be too bad either.</p>

54

The AP teachers at my school are saying progressivism, which makes sense. My APUSH teacher has an inkling that one of the FRQ’s is going to be the 1970’s. I don’t know why, but he does, so he’s been making us do essay review for that period.</p>

55

What about the 1970s? Any other FRQ guesses?</p>

56

100th anniversary of Regan’s birth but since Vietnam was so recent I’d say Regan is on the table but unlikely.</p>

57

1970’s-He says mainly Nixon and Carter and their economic and diplomatic policies. Also, the Watergate scandal and how that affected how the American population viewed the government and the office of president. :)</p>

58

I think one of the DQBs will be on The Great Awakening and/or the French Revolution effect on American politics and society) Like the XYZ Affair, some other thing about a French guy who appealed directly to the American people, all those treaties with France and Napoleon.</p>

Seems likely, no?</p>

59

My APUSH teacher predicted either Indian Policy in the Jackson era, or the WWI/WWII homefront. Looking at the last 10 years of DBQ, those don’t seem too far off…</p>

60

Eww. If the DBQ is on the Great Awakening, I am going to be very upset.</p>

BTW, the French guy is Citizen Genet.</p>
