AP U.S. History DBQ tomorrow! Any tips on the Revolutionary War?

<p>Gland I could help pinksoysause! Feel free to ask if you need help on any other US AP related things.</p>

<p>Hmm…no, at least according to my teacher haha. She told us that the British only taxed the colonists because they felt the colonists were liable to pay for their own war, which didn’t appease the colonists. I’m sure it wasn’t a big portion of your DBQ though haha. How do you think you did?:></p>

<p>No, pinksoysauce is right, the British in England were taxed, and at a much higher rate than the colonists. For example, stamp taxes had already been in place for decades for the people of England. The Stamp Act just forced the colonists to pay, at a much lower rate, the tax that most Englishmen had already been paying.</p>

<p>Really? My teacher must be wrong then because I took notes on it. O well, I suppose I’ve learned something new today:) Thanks for the information!</p>

<p>Wartsandall - I think I did well, though my thesis probably could have been better - it was on the longer side, around two sentences that worked together to act as the thesis…We’ll see; hopefully we’ll get them back soon!</p>

<p>No problem! I learned a lot from you so I’m glad you learned something from us. :slight_smile: Mind if I ask - are you still in high school?</p>

<p>I’m sure you did fine:) Let us know how you did. Yes, I’m still in high school. In fact, I’m in APUSH too haha. I’m assuming you are in 11th grade as well? Best of luck with your DBQ!</p>

<p>I’m actually not in an official APUSH class - I’m at an IB school so I’m taking the rough IB equivalent, which is PIB U.S. History. I’m a sophomore.</p>

<p>No more DBQs for another two weeks! :)</p>

<p>O ok, well that’s good. Enjoy the class! I hope to as well:)</p>

<p>I have a funny teacher so I love the class itself. :slight_smile: Hope you have a great time too! What are you learning right now? We’re focusing on the division of parties after John Adams and stuff like that.</p>
