Anyone mention Yellowstone National Park and Yosemite for the short answer question on conservation? I was so surprised about it appearing on the free response exam (I was form O btw). I used Lydon Johnson’s Great Society and the riots that followed after Martin Luther King’s assassination as evidence for the DBQ in case anyone was wondering
@1golfer1 yeah i agree. like i read it several times and the answers all seemed right. the ones with the political cartoons confused me because two of the answer choices could’ve been right…
Butting in here…for that one Garvey question I said presidents who favored colonization rather than former slaves because I remembered reading how slaves weren’t too interested in the Back to Africa movement as by that time the slave population had been in the US for generations and so they had no really direct ties with Africa.
Can we just talk about how easy yesterday’s exam was compared to AP Euro last year??? It wasn’t a breeze but I certainly expected worse!
@kimm1234 I said former slave, but i really don’t even remember gravy’s beliefs etc. i pretty much guessed through that entire passage section.
for my leq, i didn’t include a very clear thesis that lays out my body paragraphs, but my body paragraphs are full of good content that support the changes and what stayed the same after mex-am war. what is the max score i can receive? (my thesis is almost non existent and my organization was really poor)
I actually said great migration for who would agree with garvey because those were the people moving north after WWI which would align with the time period. I feel like American Colonization Society wanted to just get rid of the Blacks while Garvey was more focused on national pride etc. I also think it was self determination, not harlem renaissance.
But yeah some of these questions had a few good answers
for Adams and Rush I said that Adams believed the revolution ocurred before the war(1760-1775) while Rush believed the revolution was ongoing with the making of the government. I used stamp act congress to support adams and convention of 1789 to support rush
for french and indian war LEQ I said that the British views of colonies and subjugate bodies meant for economic exploitation remained the same. (Navigation Act before the War, can only ship to britan, Taxes after the war) however the colonial attitude towards the british changed and then I tied that in to why the revolution occurred etc.
for the rush example, i stupidly didn’t mention the constitution, but i did mention how the power was still in the hands of the wealthy elite and women had no say in elections and had little rights, would this have been fine?
@kimm1234 Yeah, AP euro was a lot harder last year than yesterday’s exam. I thought I did okay on euro when I finished the exam and ended up getting a 4, which I was ecstatic about. I feel like I did so much better on this exam than euro, but I’m still worried I might not get a 4, which I need in order to get credit. I’m scared that they’re going to make the threshold scores a lot higher like they did with bio 
got a 5 last year on euro, this was definitely easier but the curve might be tougher(although euro only like 10% got 5’s)
@schakrab the great migration occurred during Word War I when southern blacks moved North in search of jobs, so I don’t really see that as being supportive of Marcus Garvey’s sentiments. I remember reading in AMSCO that he was an Haitian immigrant that advocated black nationalism and a back to Africa movement, so I put presidents that supported the colonization efforts (although I wasn’t too sure about the time frame for this- American colonization society was like Civil War era) so I’m not sure.
@basketball135 I had the same DBQ, I also had form M. I thought everything else was pretty easy, but for the DBQ I knew no outside info, but still thought it was easy to analyze the docs and contextualize. hopefully a 6/7
great migration was from like 1910-1930 so it could work. They left the south because of racism, lynching, no opportunity so they could like Garvey want their own state/nation ruled by themselves
I just thought the purpose of the american colonization society was different than Garvey’s vision and was more a means of getting rid of the Black people although maybe the question was worded in a different way than I remember. It was “who would have supported garvey’s ideas” or whatever and while American Colonization society would have supported back to africa they wouldn’t really have supported black nationalism definitely not in the US and I could see the great migration people supporting both.
I answered Great Migration. Garvey was also an early advocate of Black Power ideals (African-American economic and political self-dependency, etc.) During that time period, I can imagine such concepts wouldn’t appeal to anyone who wasn’t African-American.
Is it possible to get a good DBQ score with very little outside info? I mostly just focused on the documents, analysis, and getting the synthesis point
I forgot which question it was, but did anyone answer either “western Virginia” or “coastal South Carolina” anywhere?
I think that was coastal south carolina. Meaning who would disagree with the New England abolitionist people?
I think another answer in that passage was that it made the thought of abolition or whatever possible
@schakrab wouldn’t the virginia one and south caorlina be right? both states had slaves? i didn’t know which one to pick. i think i went virginia
