<p>Basically the AP exam is coming up this friday, so i thought it would be nice to do a little Q&A where one person asks a question the next person answers then ask another question and so on.</p>
<p>What court decision did the Brown Vs Board of Topeka repeal?</p>
<p>Plessy vs. Ferguson?</p>
<p>Which act was passed after the repeal of the Stamp Act?</p>
<p>Declatory Act?</p>
<p>Define T.R.'s "Big stick Policy"</p>
<p>Theodore Roosevelt said to "speak softly, but carry a big stick," in reference to his foreign policy. For example, to intimidate the aggressively hostile nation of Japan following the Sino-Russian war and to demonstrate America's fledgling naval prowress, he raised a "Great White Fleet" of U.S. navy ships to circumnavigate the globe. Also, his corollary to the Monroe Doctrine stated that the US had the right to intervene in any domestic issues in Latin American countries that might cause economic instability and therefore jeopardize the US's influence in the region. (plz tell me if I'm missing anything significant)</p>
<p>Following the Civil War, what steps did the Republican Congress take to guarantee the rights of freed blacks in the South? (sorry if thats long-winded)</p>
<p>Civil rights act of 1866?</p>
<p>To what countries did the Truman doctrine pertain to? How did this differ from the Marshall Plan?</p>
<p>Truman doctrine = Greece and Turkey, Marshall Plan was Western Europe.</p>
<p>What was the dominion of New England?</p>
<p>The Dominion of New England was a short-lived experiment during the latter half of the seventeenth century that combined the New England colonies under a single province, ruled by a royally-appointed governor. Britain hoped to better enforce the Navigation Acts and to create a centralized defense against Native Americans and the French. The Dominion was dissolved after the Glorious Revolution overthrew the unpopular James II.</p>
<p>What was the Tallmadge amendment?</p>
<p>Forbid the further introduction of slavery into Missouri and declaring that all children born of slave parents after the admission of the state should be free upon reaching the age of twenty-five.</p>
<p>What was U-2, and how did it affect Camp David?</p>
<p>The U-2 Crisis occured in 1960 when a US spy plane was shot down in the Soviet Union. The US tried to cover it up by saying the plane was conducting weather research, but the USSR had tangible evidence to the contrary, including the pilot himself. As a result, talks between the US and USSR at the Paris Summit collapsed, tensions between the two super powers heightened, and the US suffered a huge embarassment. (Are you talking about the Camp David Accords? Not sure they're related....)</p>
<p>What were the provisions of the Rush-Bagot treaty?</p>
<p>"No boom-boom on great lakes", as my history teacher said.</p>
<p>What was special about the election of 1824?</p>
<p>No one had the majority vote, but Jackson had the highest number of votes,so the house of rep. picked John Quincy Adams and Calhoun was made the sec of state. "corrupt bargain"</p>
<p>What was Vietnamization under Nixon</p>
<p>Vietnamization was Nixon's promise to slowly remove troops from South Vietnam, however, in doing so he began massive bombing of North Vietnam. Anything else important in that?</p>
<p>What was the Homestead Act of 1862 and why was it important?</p>
<p>Vietnamization was also handing the war over to the south Vietnamese to fight it.</p>
<p>The Homestead Act of 1862 was the act that gave freehold title to many acres of land for mens over 21 and it was important because the act gave reason to move to the west. Again, the idea of manifest destiny. </p>
<p>Who were the muckrakers of the early 20th century and what did they accomplish?</p>
<p>They wanted reform. Basically. The got stuff like 16th-19 amendments, Pure Food and Drug Act, etc.</p>
<p>What was the Potsdam conference?</p>
<p>I thought The Trueman Docterine and Marshall Plan had very diffrent functions. While they both were targeted to primarily reconstruct, and in a sense protect the destroyed European countries, the Trueman Docterine stated that the U.S was obliged to help any country threatened by communist influences. The Marshall Plan opened financial aid to revive the economy (it was surprisingly offered to the USSR as well). </p>
<p>The Postdam conference outlined reperations, as well as demilitirization after the defeat of Germany. It moreover outlined the surrender of Japan and more importantly split Germany into sections (England, US, russia) </p>
<p>What was the function of the Albany Congress?</p>
<p>During the Potsdam conference didn't Stalin also renege on his promise for free elections in the Eastern European countries? Yeah ur right about the Marhsall Plan, and the USSR even refused to receive aid for itself and its destitute puppet countries</p>
<p>The Albany Congress, in 1754, was a meeting of several colonies to discuss the issues of defense against the French and peace with the Indians. They were largely unsuccessful in reaching their goals. It was here that Franklin proposed his Albany Plan, an attempt to form a union out of the colonies for their mutual benefit. However, agreements collapsed because of the intense emnity that the colonies shared amongst eachother. This led Franklin to draw his famous "Join or Die" political cartoon, which illustrated the discord that existed among the colonies and the desperate need for cooperation in order to survive.</p>
<p>What were the major points of Wilson's "Moral Diplomacy?"</p>
