<p>Yeah, and Shays' Rebellion (1786-1787) was this big rebellion and a bunch of people died and it was a big deal, and it took the government a long time to crush it because it was uncoordinated and all, so it demonstrated the need for people to address the government.</p>
<p>If I only knew the causes of Shays' Rebellion I could have written such a good essay... but I had to write about the Second Great Awakening instead... :(</p>

@jman- Are you sure... in the question i remember it saying something about a presidency's office after a landslide victory.. the victory being 1936.. did the question specifically say term?

</p>
<p>If the landslide victory was in 1936, and the question was asking about his political success after that landslide victory, then it's probably asking about that term...being that his other elections weren't mentioned or considered "landslide". I'm not sure. But if they only put 1936 there...not 1932, 1940, or 1944....then there has to be a reason behind it.</p>
<p>Ok, im looking at the question as we speak...
"Landslide presidential victories do not ensure continued political effectiveness or legislative success"</p>
<p>Assess the validity by comparing two of the following presidential administrations</p>
<p>FDR (1936)</p>
<p>In this question, there is nothing to say that you can't talk about his 3rd/4th term.</p>
<p>What its asking (in my opinion) is was there continued presidential success of FDR administration after his landslide victory in 1936. The college board, i think, would have to specify if they only wanted FDR's 2nd term.</p>
<p>For FR #2, I defined the cult of domesticity, but I mainly talked about how women righters changed it and the whole Sencca Falls thing. Is that wrong?</p>

<p>is that good enough to get like a 6-ish on both?</p>
<p>Damn it, Shays's was from 86 to 87. I thought that! But I didn't put it because I wasn't completely sure and didn't want to put the wrong date. I was like 60% sure.</p>
<p>@ Kaotic and JW. Whiskey Rebellion did not show the strength of the CONSTITUTION, more like the strength of the executive power because Washington ordered the troops.</p>
<p>@muchlove. You wrote A LOT for 4, I'm sure you'll get 6 or above.</p>
<p>No, the curve does change slightly each year.</p>
<p>Flip to the bottom of that page- the composite ranges change each year.</p>
<p>I defined cult of domesticity wrong and wrote a para about it :bangs head: If they ask you to analyze TWO it means TWO not all of them. You don't get extra points.... it willl detract from your grade...</p>
<p>i didn't know what caused shay's but knew the signifiance and i know what caused whiskey and didn't really know the significance, but i got the significance of the latter right when i thought about it and bs'ed it well</p>
<p>oh and to everyone who is scared because they put the wrong year or were off by a day or an hour on the exact time of a rebellion - just wow</p>
<p>why do they put the frqs online.. it gives make up testers an advantage in that they kno those wont be the topics. collegeboard is pretty inconsistent. if they are asking us to NEVER discuss multiple choice, and then letting us discuss frqs two days later, i dont really see there reasoning.</p>
<p>I did the one on the Second Great Awakening and wrote about abolitionism and the temperance movement. I also did the one on Theodore Roosevelt and wrote about how he challenged the trusts and how he shaped a new era of American intervention and influence on foreign affairs.</p>
<p>... my history teacher didn't teach us a s*** about DBQ... I automatically assumed that DBQ grading would be same as the European History one.... HOW MUCH AM I SCREWED?? I used 9 out of 10 documents very well and used some prior knowledge put in but I didn't add in much of the specific outside infos (IF IT WAS EURO HISTORY, I WOULD"VE GOT 9). Before I realized that USH's DBQ is diferent, I was very confident of a 5... but now I don't know.. depends on how much the DBQ would hurt my score.</p>
<p>I found the DBQ to be very interesting, our teacher taught us very little of the era, but i think if you just covered the populist movement and over production and the Grange and of course railroads and finish off your essay with a bit about William Jennings Bryan ending the populist movement when he ran against McKinley in 1896 and then McKinley took the country out of the recession it had fallen into in 1893 the year after the world fair was held in Chicago and you run right into McKinley's second term in 1900 then you should be good.</p>
<p>As for Free response 3 i covered Abolitionism and the cult of domesticity and i think i did ok there and for free response 5 i found that to be quite fun and easy...it seemed a no brainer to compare FDR to Reagan since they both approached somewhat similar problems with very differnet tactics. Both won with landslide victories and both were exactly what the nation needed at the time.</p>
<p>Muchlove: You have a lot of information outside of the time frame for #4.</p>
<p>I'm worried because I didn't include massive lists of outside info. I mean, I knew all of that stuff, and in retrospect I probably should have added it, it just didn't seem extremely necessary.</p>
<p>Do you think they'll take off significantly if I only have around 3-4 pieces of outside information per paragraph on the DBQ, but use it extremely effectively to prove a well-developed thesis? It's the same with the other two, I kind of addressed what the question asked and didn't do much else (which is what you'd think would be a good thing in any normal context). It seems kind of superfluous to go on for pages and pages just throwing in whatever proper noun from US History you can remember in there...a page and a half seemed adequate for me on 2 and 4. I mean, I introduced an argument, I backed it up with two of the areas of analysis, and proved my thesis. What more can you want?</p>
<p>How bad is it if I didn't have an actual thesis for #2 and #4? I described everything correctly/had my facts straight, but I didn't have an intro paragraph or anything..just went right into describing the causes/significances of Shays' rebellion, then whiskey rebellion. Around a 4/9, or more like a 2/9?</p>
<p>Hey do you know if one grader will grade all 3 of the FR essays, or do writers only grade one particular essay? my worst essay was last, but my first 2 were really good so maybe if one writer graded them all he would cut me some slack on the last one</p>
