APUSH FRQ's

<p>what did u guys put as supporting details for #3 or #4???
cause i dont know if i did it right. Your feedback is greatly appreciated</p>

<p>the Industrial Revolution was PART of the market revolution. The inventions by Eli Whitney (cottin gin, interchangable parts, etc) transformed the economy into one that favors those who specialize. For example, before people farmed all kinds of products and made their own cloths for subsistence. After the industrial revolution, people began to specialize in one product, meaning they don't have to find as many buyers. As a result the Northeast and the South became dependent upon each other, the NE needed South's cotton for manufacture and the South needed NE's finished products. South's economy was still more vulnerable to failure because they have to worry about overproduction, the Northeast does not. They have other sources for raw material.</p>

<h1>3 was my term paper topic!</h1>

<h1>4 was just plain bad for me. I lost all will to write and was rambling on and on...</h1>

<p>hey for number 2 i mentioned metacomet, but i said he was part of the irouqouis which is wrong :(. YOu guys think i will be docked a lot for that. I mean its such early american history i kinda forgot.</p>

<p>:D they actually killed each other. It depends, they may not notice it. But if they do, you proabably can't get any extra points (above a 6) if you had incorrect facts.</p>

<p>Now that it has been 48 hours, we can finally discuss the free response.</p>

<p>I think there's already a topic about this like 4 pages</p>

<p>would it be considered a major error if on essay #4 i discussed for a few sentences the muckrakers??? what would be the highest grade i could get. because after the test i went home and i looked it up and most of the muckrakers were up north :( it totally screwed me over. now im so scared about my grade. how would it affect me especially since i was bs'ing the essay in the first place? (there wasnt much else in that essay that i wrote)</p>

<p>they are technically not allow to dock people points for the wrong information. so don't worry! </p>

<p>(unless its like 300 years later whatever you mention happened! )</p>

<p>Haha, don't feel bad. I made some reference to MacArthur fighting in the Vietnam War.</p>

<p>if you didnt really have any specifics and just summarized (referring to 3) whats the best score you could get? I pretty much BSed but my historical summary was correct, but I had extremely limited specifics. The dbq and the other frq will make up for it but im just wondering.</p>

<p>48 hrs has officially passed we can now talk about details and everything. yay!!!! (not that we havn't already lol)</p>

<p>Minor factual errors can still result in a score of 7-9. Those that are a bit more serious will result in a 5-7, but unless those errors pretty much ruined your essay, you shouldn't get lower than that.</p>

<p>someone stole my thread!!! bumb</p>

<p>How worried should I be if I claimed the New South (#4) oppressed blacks with Black Codes, KKK, sharecropping, etc.? I assumed that the southern leaders wanted to do that when in reality its about industrialization and advancement. :(</p>

<p>i included that saying that nothing had changed in the south, blacks were still oppressed, ect.</p>

<p>I chose 3 and 4.</p>

<p>But when i was writing my paragraph for the South, i vaguely mentioned the textile industry (however, the textile industry was in the north). will this affect my score?</p>

<h1>3: did i have enough info? i think my south paragraph is a little lacking but would this earn a 7+?</h1>

<p>North: interchangeable parts, assembly line, erie canal, fulton/steamboat, railroads/locomotives
South: cotton gin, mccormick reaper/replace sickle and scythes, railroads</p>

<h1>4:same for this one, 7+?? (i didnt directly mention jim crow laws and plessy v Ferguson, will that hurt me?)</h1>

<p>race relations: black codes, lit test/poll tax/gfather clause, sharecropping/ crop-lien system,
politics: supreme court cases restricting 14th/15th amendment, south carolina flying confed flag (still have resentment), "Reedemers" (southern democrats)/try to reverse reconstruction, Amnesty act/congress still tried to suppress southernerners = more resentment</p>

<p>overall analysis in 4: nothing changed, blacks were still oppressed. They didnt get their rights for another 100 years. Southerners were still angry/had sentiment toward north.</p>

<p>I just don't know if i had enough info. My analysis was correct and i had strong evidence. I'm just worried that i didn't have enough. Also worried about mentioning textile industry in the south paragraph.</p>

<h1>4 looks thats pretty much what included but the reaper affected the midwest not the south id say a 5/6 for #3 and a 6/7 for #4 it depends on the reader</h1>

<p>for my DBQ:</p>

<p>social: protests, student protests (SDS, FSM in UC Berkley, Kent State), protest to draft (documents), MLK and protest (why there when no fairness here?), counterculture/hippies</p>

<p>political: tonkin/credibility, election of 68/democratic convention, nixon doctrine/vietnamization, cambodia/laos (although i spelt laos as "lous" lol, i was rushing), pentagon papers/watergate</p>

<p>economy: staglfation, wage price controls, commitment was not necessary, wasted lot of money, staglfation not healed until the 1980s, spending money for a corrupt south vietnamese gov't</p>

<p>is this enough for a 7/8/9? (the 2 things i forgot to directly mention were Tet offensive and effect on great society, idk if that will affect my score)</p>

<p>Hey, what do you guys think? I included some relevant information for #3 (interchangeable parts, factories, turnpikes, steamboats, canals for the North and the metal plow and mining equipment for the Midwest) but concentrated a bit much on railroads in the essay and some of the information was straight-up wrong, since the transcontinental railroads weren't built until after the Civil War. I said they were vital for connecting the country and strengthening its economy...d'oh. </p>

<p>Can I make at least a 3 or a 4 (since it wasn't ALL wrong)?</p>
