<p>can anyone predict for me? im freakin out</p>
<p>dbq talked about</p>
<p>tet offensive, great society, my lai, vietnamization, war powers act, gulf of tonkin resolution, kent state </p>
<h1>3- talked about lowell textile factories, king cotton planter aristocracy, tarrifs and railroads</h1>
<h1>4- talked about jim crow laws, literacy tests, sharecropping, ku klux klan</h1>
<p>i know i dont have THAT much of evidence but i got pretty detailed with them</p>
<p>dbq = 6-7, depending on how long/detailed it was</p>
<h1>3 and #4= 7, just based on topics and the assumption that you had everything pretty organized.</h1>
<p>i know this is a stupid question--- but what area comprises the "Spanish southwest"?</p>
<p>To giggonawt:
there's more to the essay than just support and information. if you want a 9, you need a solid, complex thesis with exhaustive information, clear organization, and proleptic arguments. It's hard to say what you'd get, but i don't think you'd get anything lower than a 5 or 6 on any of the essays.</p>
<p>To Vicky_sky:
Spanish Southwest probably refers to states like what is now AZ, NM, TX, and those states we won after the US Mexican War.</p>
<p>Also, is it just me or was the BUS a huge contributor to the market revolution?
I didn't see many threads that mentioned the Hamilton legacy or how the bank contributed to an increase in capital for the overall economy. Maybe it's just me because i wrote an entire research paper on Hamilton, but did anyone else think it was pertinent to mention the bank and how it provided the underlying theater for basically every business/entrepreneaur ventures that took place after the war of 1812? Also, i mentioned Federalist influence, namely that of John Marshall and his favoring of businesses, and the American system and internal improvement under the hands of Henry Clay and Jackson, respectively. Did anyone else touch upon those points or am i just a square peg in a round hole?</p>
<p>what would have been a good thesis for the dbq? it didn't really lend itself to a strong thesis imo</p>
<h1>3:</h1>
<p>North: more industrial, Lowell factories, wage workers taking skilled worker's jobs
Midwest: more agricultural, economy more connected with the North b/c of railroads, more commercial farming instead of substance farming</p>
<h1>4:</h1>
<p>haha, i said that the "New South" people were people who wanted Blacks to go back to slavery and remove them from office. So i said that before WWI they achieved their goal. (this is totally WRONG!)
but i used decent support:
literacy test to prevent Blacks from voting and removing them from office,
Plessey v. Ferguson established separate but equal, so schools, public facilities were separate.</p>
<p>SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I have been PANIC-STRICKEN since I have taken the test that I did poorly on the DBQ. The reason being, I had very general outside information- I just put the documents in context, I did not cite any specific outside info.</p>
<p>I am a very proficient writer and I believe my analysis was very appropriate, yet confined largely to the documents. I fully answered the question and used very sophisticated, scholarly prose throughout; all unified by a well-written thesis.</p>
<p>I utilized all but 2 documents, my analysis of them was not overly thorough but I used them to advance my argument and tied them in to the broader trends.</p>
<p>I talked aobut the general issues that the war brought up in each arena of American life, again, no mention of specific outside info.</p>
<p>Thesis: The Vietnam war served to exacerbate tensions in all arenas of American life: social, political, and economic. The war was costly in human life, ingnited debate over the role and scope of the federal government, and the military spending it promoted was deleterious to the economy, all served to arouse antagonism of citizens towards the government and each other.</p>
<p>For social, I said "opposition to the war grew increasingly conspicuous in society" but failed to mention specific examples such as the Kent State riots. I talked about the sentiment of the lower classes and them bearing a disproportionate amount of the burden through the draft . I also said many were angry that Americans were dying in a foreign war with no relevancey to national security. Also mentioned Ivy League draftees and whatnot.</p>
<p>Political: Talked about the Gulf of Tonkin and how it expanded executive power. Said that it drew resentment and protest of those who believe the governemt should be more limited in it's power, debate resembled Anti-federalits vs. federalists. War POwers act was the "legislative manifestation" of the sentiment that the war fostered in which Americans believed executive and thereby government power should be reduced.</p>
<p>Economic: WWII set a trend of enormous military spending, citizens became disillusioned with this policy when Vietnam pinched their pockets. Great Society "stymied" becaused of it and therefore the war also hurt lower classes who depended on Great Society economic reform and assitance, furthering the gap between lower and middle classes. </p>
<p>Like I said, little specific outside information but I did have analysis based on the broader trends of the era.</p>
<p>PLEASE I am begging someone to take the time to read through all of that and grade my essay. MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!</p>
<p>your essay looks pretty fine to me; i wrote most of what you said but used all of the documents in my analysis. I didn't have any specific information either but i tried to be very thorough. based on what you wrote above, it's most likely a 6 (b/c u only used 2 sources)</p>
<p>Actually I used all BUT two.</p>
<p>sorry about that; really, though, you shouldn't be worried. the way i think is that there are definetly worse papers-- i.e. students who just BS'ed the whole thing--- and after the umpteenth such paper, the reader would be so relieved that SOMEONE knows what they are talking about!</p>
<p>Did anyone else do #5? It seems like most people did #4. I'm pretty worried about it because I thought that they were mainly looking for the shift in the voting patterns of African-Americans towards the Democrats (b/c New Deal programs) and later Southerners towards the Republicans (b/c Democrats started to endorse civil rights programs, though a lot of that was after 1948). Now I'm not sure if that was right at all :(. Does anyone know what they were looking for?
Did well on the multiple choice, though. Only skipped two and didn't do much guessing.</p>
<p>I did number #5 but I talked about the shift from Hoover's "rugged individualism" and Republicanism towards the liberalism of FDR. It asked for reasons too, I think, so I talked about the Great Depression and Hoover's unpopularity (using army towards BEF, Hoovervilles) and how that prompted the popularity of FDR's interventionist policies. I talked a bit about the New Deal and some of the FDR's stuff that was declared unconstitutional. For consequences I just talked about how it lead to a series of liberal presidents, and also how there is still a debate over how much power the government has and should implement in certain circumstances. I don't even know if I was on topic but I figured that I didn't know anything else so I might as well go for it.</p>
<p>Can someone do a "fact check" for me?</p>
<p>On my frq #3, in my south paragraph i said the cotton gin and advancement in the south led to mass growth in the textile industry (Now, the problem is that i didn't say textile industry in the "Northeast" or the "south"). So it would look as if i said it impacted the southern textile industry. My 2 concerns are:
1) was a textile industry in the south affected? i remember reading somewhere that the South also gained a textile industry after, but im not sure how valid this is,</p>
<p>2) if not, will that go down as a major error in factual info? If so, how much will that affect my grade? (say it would have got a 7, would it be major enough to knock the essay down to a 6 or even a 5?)</p>
<p>for #5: i also included the fact that AFrican Americans originally voted for Republicans (Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation- debt, or thankful for Republicans!) but the New Deal carried out by FDR helped those African Americans, and thus they switched their votes.</p>
<p>ivy24: the southern textile wasnt really affected, cotton fueled the northern industry more. I dont think it is a major problem but it might keep u from an 8-9. hope this helps</p>
<p>any other thoughts+bump</p>
<p>put it to rest</p>
<p>did 2 and 4 maybe a 6/9 on 2 much more solid on 4, so happy about the DBQ</p>
