AP USH Daily Practice Questions

I say C. Evolution was a hot topic, especially during Scopes.</p>

The answer is reportedly C lol. The answer to mine was D, heya10.</p>

In the eighteenth century, British colonists
wishing to settle west of the Appalachians
were principally motivated by</p>

(A) the comparatively small numbers of
American Indians in the old Northwest
(B) the low price and easy availability of land
(C) freedom from the threat of Spanish
authorities
(D) a desire to escape overcrowded cities along
the Atlantic coast
(E) promises of tax breaks for those willing to
establish frontier settlements</p>

Pretty sure it’s ‘B’.</p>

^ Yes, good job!</p>

I want to say B on this one. After the French and Indian War, colonists enjoyed the ease at which they could get western lands. Obviously, the Proclamation of 1763, in theory, took away this right.</p>

The Second Great Awakening was characterized by all of the following EXCEPT
(A) efforts to counter the rationalism and disbelief of the Revolutionary era.
(B) opportunity for salvation offered to all.
(C) efforts to appeal to people’s emotions.
(D) growing unity among Protestant churches.
(E) widespread belief that the second coming of Christ was near.</p>

^I guess D, since the Protestants were split into Old and New Lights.</p>

D, I’m pretty sure. The Great Awakenings lead to the development of factions within Protestantism.</p>

D is the correct answer for just that reason. I’m not sure if the Old and New Lights apply, since that was during the First Great Awakening. However, I am positive that Protestantism had split.</p>

^You’re right; I was thinking of the 1st GA</p>

The first massive migration of Black Americans from the South occurred during which of the following periods?
(A) Immediately following the Civil War
(B) During and immediately after the
First World War
(C) During the Great Depression
(D) In the decade after the Second World War
(E) During the civil rights movement of the
1960’s</p>

B! During and after WW1</p>

I’d say B as well.
Which of these politicians had the largest following among the common man?
A)William McKinley
B)Grover Cleveland
C)Ben Harrison
D)William Jennings Bryan
E)Teddy Roosevelt.</p>

^D? Bryan seemed to be pretty well-liked for that silver crap that he *****ed about for years.</p>

Teddy seems like a good candidate too, since he was a trust-buster.</p>

@beatlesdisturbed
I’d have to go with D as Bryan was often the candidate for the Populist Party</p>

WJ Bryan was definitely NEVER a populist. He was always a democrat. I believe the cross of gold speech was actually at a Democratic national convention.</p>

^ Right you are (1896 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, I believe). Plus, Populist is not synonymous with popularity. However, he is still probably the correct choice.</p>

Ya I got mixed up abit. But I thought he was endorsed by the Populist Party during one election.</p>

Most workers did not support Bryan; the Populists generally ignored the workers since they were farmers.</p>

It’s Teddy Roosevelt, right? Trust-buster, cool guy all around…</p>
