<p>On the slavery DBQ, I messed up and said that George Fitzhugh was anti-slavery. Do you think they would take off many points?</p>
<p>@shmluza, haha thanks. I hope I get a 5 too, but idk I’m worried since I got a 0 on that essay :/</p>
<p>This test was all about knowing your dates, since it was misleading in many ways. Both in the mc and the essays.</p>
<p>For those of you who actually read the foreign affairs questions correctly (lol), what did you write about ?</p>
<p>Also is it bad that for the dbq I mentioned bleeding Kansas and dress Scott decision?</p>
<p>The Louisiana Purchase, Citizen Genet, the XYZ affair, and the War of 1812.</p>
<p>what was the common misunderstanding?</p>
<p>I wrote about Salutary Neglect for the first FRQ. I’m not sure if this qualifies as a British “mercantilist policy.” Do you think I’m off topic?</p>
<p>@Wolverhulk
No, because the Navigation Acts were under Salutary Neglect during the time period</p>
<p>@dragonchicke96 Many people wrote about the the late nineteeth and early twentieth century instead of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century for FRQ 3. I almost made the same mistake myself.</p>
<p>The common misunderstanding was moving the time period 100 years forward. </p>
<p>Does anyone remember the exact range of years for the foreign affair question?</p>
<p>@riffed</p>
<p>I talked about the XYZ affair, Barbary War, and then Jackson’s involvement in Spanish controlled Florida (but that may be out of the era). I also mentioned that the U.S. government needed to replace the Articles of Confederation with a stronger doctrine so that other countries would recognize the U.S. so they would let us borrow money from them (specifically France in the Franco-American alliance).</p>
<p>@jackechan</p>
<p>Spain sold Florida to the U.S. in 1819 for five million dollars after realizing how easily the U.S. could take the land militarily for free. So I think you’re safe for Jackson’s involvement.</p>
<p>@wolver – what was the upper limit of the date range ?</p>
<p>@riffed</p>
<p>I forget the low end but I know for a fact that the high limit was 1821.</p>
<p>it was like 1776 to 1823. right as the monroe doctrine was developed</p>
<p>Yes, it was until 1823 and I talked about the Monroe doctrine</p>
<p>Perfect. I talked about the Monroe Doctrine and was afraid it was beyond the time period specified. Thanks.</p>
<p>What did you guys use for outside evidence for the DBQ? I talked about Wilmot Proviso, manifest destiny, Kansas-Nebraska Act/Border Ruffians (but I’m bummed cause it was out of the era), Douglass’ North Star and Garrison’s Liberator. Just some of them. What did you guys come up with?</p>
<p>@jackechan: I had simliar information. I did Bleeding Kansas and the beating of Sumner (out of the period), the Liberator and Garrison’s role in the women’s movement, the Wilmot Proviso, John Locke’s ideas with the Constitution. </p>
<p>I hope I did okay. :-/ I thought the DBQ and FRQs were really easy, since I predicted 3/5 of them last night. I predicted antebellum for DBQ, mercantilism for FRQ, and Great Society for FRQ (which was the protest one, really).</p>
