Isurus - E, right?</p>

Carolina Exposition and Protest were similar in that all involved a defense of

(C)the establishment of Texas as an independent republic
(D)the campaign platform of James Polk in 1844

This isn’t really that helpful if the person who poses the question never actually gives his/her answer and explanation</p>
Wow guys… the answer is D. (I got the question from Barrons).</p>
It’s D because that happened last, after religion was well established in the colonies. In the 1640s, “the Puritan Cromwell led his forces to victory over King Charles”. Now with no persecution, Puritans didn’t have a reason to come to America. </p>
ksjko: D?</p>
i go with d for ksjko</p>

(A) Higher Education Act
(B) Medicaid
(C) Appalchian Regional Development Act
(D) Economic Opportunity Act
(E) Immigration Reform and Control Act</p>
Yes, the answer to mine is D, states’ rights.</p>
^E? Controlling immigration seems like something that would be anti-Great Society.</p>
314159265 - Yes! You are correct! If I am not mistaken, the Immigration Reform and Control Act was part of the Reagan Administration in 1984.</p>
I guess everyone ignored mine… D< lol.
Here’s another one.

A) The Civil Rights Act of 1957
B) Being an ally of James Michael Curley
C) A vote against parochial school funding
D) Union endorsements
E) Supporting bank regulations.
This was on my final in APUSH last year.</p>
^I doubt that anything like this would be asked, but I guess C, since Bostoners are likely to be Catholic and thus would support such schools.</p>
^Yep. I was waiting to see who would capture this. My teacher’s crazy, that’s why I got that question, but he’s awesome.</p>
Why’d we stop?</p>
What impact did the Battle of Antietam have on the Civil War?

@heya10
A i’m thinking</p>
In the 1920s, religious fundamentalists focused especially on which of the following issues?
(A) restricting immigration to the US
(B) slum conditions in the city
(C) the theory of evolution
(D) the sexual revolution
(E) the Ku Klux Klan’s openly hostile views towards blacks, Catholics, and Jews</p>
I would say A, since fundies would not focus on the KKK.</p>
I’m not so sure. I would say ‘C’ because the fundamentalists were conservative and resented the new changes the modernists were conforming to, one being the theory of evolution. Don’t forget that the Scopes Trial happened around this time too.</p>
^Ironically, there were fundies who “accepted” evolution in order to justify racist beliefs.</p>
Yeah. That makes sense. That being said, would C still be a bad answer?</p>
The answer for my question was C, due to the Scopes trial that was about the teaching of evolution in schools and the case’s high profile and controversy.
Edit: I thought it was more that they accepted Social Darwinism rather than evolution as a justification for racist beliefs.</p>
Well, Social Darwinism was kind of justified by Darwin’s theory of evolution, though I wouldn’t be surprised if they used it only as a justification and did not really believe in it.</p>
