<p>I only remember the Bay of Pigs because I think it's sort of funny :p</p>
<p>and I had forgotten that the plane was shot down! man, this is better than my class ... we did a practice mc test last week and only two people scored above a 50 (I had a 75). Riiidiculous!</p>
<p>Hehe, it is kind of funny. </p>
<p>And, well, my class is really good. ^^ </p>
<p>Just randomly (our class looked these up because they were so obscure):</p>
<p>Who was Jelly-Roll Morton? </p>
<p>and</p>
<p>What was the Ludlow Massacre?</p>
<p>President Kennedy (eh...61? 62?) wanted to overthrow Castro's government and all these Cuban people who had fled to Nicaragua? I think that was it were trained by the CIA and there was going to be this big invasion except we sucked and first the ships landed and then they were waiting for air support..and I think one of the things that went wrong was that the air support people were on US time while the ship people were on CUban time so the air support people were an hour late...big embarassment.
eventually caused the tension that led to the Cuban Missile Crisis.</p>
<p>ok my question (ooo so exciting) </p>
<p>Describe the events surrounding the Nullification Crisis. Who was president, what caused this, etc.</p>
<p>sorry...i didn't realize that someone answered already...(well I guess there was no answer actually)
I don't know emmery...either of your questions...I wish my name was jelly-roll though</p>
<p>I don't know either of these, but Ludlow Massacre is in my textbook--I remember reading about it.</p>
<p>--</p>
<p>regarding Bay of Pigs, I didn't even know troops were committed. My text says that the exiles were trained and no troops were commited. The administration and the exiles were counting the Cuban countrymen to rally around the exiles once the attack started. Unfortunately, no countrymen came along :p. American involvment could not be hidden since they had American weapons etc., so it was just like the Americans had given troop support, minus a better chance of victory. The incident made Kennedy appear indecisive to the public.</p>
<p>Oh, my questions are jokes. I really just want to see if anyone knows such ridiculous stuff off the top of their heads. XD</p>
<p>ok so right now we have three questions on the table...jelly roll..ludlow and nullification (mine is the easiest =P)</p>
<p>Sonar why do you keep saying Adams? Was John Adams the one who actually dealt with the Monroe Doctrine, or Monroe? Forgive my ignorance please, I haven't reviewed yet..at all. :(</p>
<p>It was Adams..Monroe's Vice or Secretary of state...who actually came up with the doctrine
And it was JQA right?</p>
<p>Adams wrote the Monroe doctrine, but it's accredited to Monroe because it was during his administration. This just shows the growing power and status of the presidency...</p>
<p>=( someone answer my question I feel unloved</p>
<p>Alright thanks :)
I don't know any of the answers to the questions the table ..geez I needa review..badly !</p>
<p>Woah man...Jelly-Roll Morton is not a good lookin' fellow. I just looked him up online and he was the first great composer of jazz. Scary pic though</p>
<p>Yeah it was..</p>
<p>And really, the Ludlow Massacre was in your book? Crazy! And that question's still up for grabs. :P</p>
<p>I'll answer the Nullification one though. </p>
<p>The Nullification crisis was South Carolina's reaction to the Tarrif of Abominations and was during...erm..Jackson's presidency? It was supported by Calhoun (who was really creepy looking! Have you guys ever seen a picture of him?) and was based on the "compact theory" that the states were more powerful than the federal government because the states created the federal government.</p>
<p>Someone (want to fill me in?) later declared that the people, not the states, created the federal government, which became the basis for the Republican party.</p>
<p>Q Adams wrote it</p>
<h2>John Quincy was Monroe's Secretary of State</h2>
<p>Nullification Crisis</p>
<p>During Jackson administration, right? Virginia and Kentucky resolves brought up the idea of nullification, which said a state could not enforce a federal law if it saw it as unconstitutional. The resolves were in response to the Alien and Sedition Acts.</p>
<p>I can't remember what led to the crisis, but Jackson went and negotiated with North Carolina or soemthing right?</p>
<p>edit: blah, I guess it was SC XD</p>
<p>wasn't jelly roll morton some jazz musician during the harlem renaissance? it was in some practice mc test i think...</p>
<p>You've got it. Haha, now I have to look him up...</p>
<p>He is kind of weird looking, but nothing compared to Calhoun. XD</p>
<p>You get major brownie points for knowing that one, deus. :)</p>
<p>Ahh...the people were the power behind the Constitution...damnit this was just in my SAT2 Kaplan book..</p>
<p>The ludlow massacre was in 1914..when a bunch of miners wanted to go on strike and the got evicted from their houses because they were owned by the company and then they were living in tents. Then about 20 of them were killed. <-- got this online ( I obviously paraphrased )</p>
<p>yeah Nullification was definitely a South Carolina thing, in response to the Tariff of Abominations of 1828 [i think]...and the issue was later brought up again with the Civil War</p>
