<p>This game is pretty simple, and it's a good way to study for both the player and for whoever is reading the board.</p>
<p>A person posts a subject relating to US History. Try to make the subject something you believe other APUSH classes have already learned (for example, since it's just December, don't put 'War World II' as a subject).</p>
<p>The next person must write 3-5 bullet points regarding the subject. This is how half of my APUSH tests are formatted, and it's a good way to study quickly as well! You can decide whether you want to use your head or notes for 'answering' the subject.</p>
<p>That same person also posts the next subject for the next player to write about. The 'difficulty' of the subject is up to the poster, but please don't overexaggerate. Nobody cares who the Secretary of Commerce was in 1843. </p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p>Fugitive Slave Law -</p>
<p>-enforced by the Compromise of 1850
- tracked down runaway slaves who escaped to the North; they were returned.
- angered the northern anti-slavery movement.
- free blacks were denied the right of trial by jury if captured without documentation.</p>
<p>I guess I'll start:</p>
<p>The Articles of Confederation</p>
<p>The Articles of Confederation
- ineffective due to no centralized power of government
- was removed and replaced with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights
- it could be seen through rebellions such as Shays' rebellion that the Articles were NOT effective in controlling the people.
- Jefferson Davis had a government with the Articles of Confederation during the Civil War, which led to his demise, the weak Confederate government, and the South's loss.</p>
