December 2009 US History Discussion

<p>What did you guys think of the test?</p>

<p>horrible, for me. i took a few practice tests and this one was completely different (in content).</p>

<p>^ Exactly. I went in thinking an 800 was a possibility. Now, well, i am will be glad to break 700.</p>

<p>What was the question asking about what a historian would study? Was it WWI? Also, what was the answer to the Ashcan School of Art question?</p>

<p>Anyone knows the curve for us Hist?</p>

<p>The painting was about what? I put realism cause I had nothing better to put</p>

<p>No worries! I think i got about 14 wrong last time and still made 750!</p>

<p>You’ll be fine!</p>

<p>Ashcan = Late nineteen hundreds
What was the historian question…? I think I might’ve put WWI or Wilson or whatever for that.</p>

<p>Also for the painting one I put Hudson River…it seemed pretty much like the pictures I had seen (romanticism/naturalism)</p>

<p>Who is Ralph W?</p>

<p>I also put Hudson River for the painting.</p>

<p>He is a transcendentalist.</p>

<p>What about the political cartoon?</p>

<p>Do you guys think the curve on this will be very generous? This was a much harder test than last month’s!</p>

<p>Was Henry Clay for the Kansas Nebraska?</p>

<p>for the political cartoonm, i put
that mckinley wanted to keep expanding…
that is, based on the cartoon.</p>

<p>buuump! anyone?</p>

<p>I put that too.</p>

<p>Politcal Cartoon - McKinley wanted to expand the US on the basis of past expansion
Painting of the River - Hudson River School
Kansas-Nebraska Act - I think this was Stephen Douglas, although I’m not as sure about this one</p>

<p>It is Stephen Douglas since he supported popular sovereignty.</p>

<p>“Politcal Cartoon - McKinley wanted to expand the US on the basis of past expansion
Painting of the River - Hudson River School
Kansas-Nebraska Act - I think this was Stephen Douglas, although I’m not as sure about this one” </p>

<p>I agree with these answers.</p>
