January 2010 - US History

<p>which city grew the most as a result of railwork? chicago, philadelphia etc?i put chicago for that.
@sg: i thought it was because of the admission of the black players into the league?</p>

<p>for railroad, I also said chicago because I vaguely remember something about the transcontinental railroad connected to the senator of illinois, or something like that. </p>

<p>I also put black players into the league, but that was a guess.</p>

<p>i believe it was television that made baseball more popular. [1920s!, ftw]
chicago is right.</p>

<p>highways, stagflation were 2 diff questions i’m pretty sure
it seems like not a lot of people took this test?</p>

<p>hmm was ‘gulf of tonkin resolution’ the answer to one of the questions? i cant remember quite clearly.</p>

<p>Jackie Robinson was the first black player to play in the majors in 1947. There were no black players previously. Urban growth led to major league franchises that were able to draw in many fans and thus revenue, allowing them to organize leagues, pay players more, create buzz. the first baseball game ever to be televised was in 1953, so that’s also false. Answer was urban growth methinks.
baseball nerd!</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was an answer.</p>

<p>Yep. That gave LBJ WAR POWERS.</p>

<p>Cant wait for scores!</p>

<p>T - ((minus)) 1 week.</p>

<p>Dayum. More than any other test I’ve taken in my life, this is the one I am the most anxious about which to hear back.</p>

<p>Hoping for 800 :)</p>

<p>who isnt??? lol</p>

<p>lol well I like to be realistic in my expectations but this time I’m feeling more confident than last time (when I got 790 :P)</p>

<p>how many did u get wrong for that 790?</p>

<p>umm idk CB doesnt tell you</p>

<p>but probably 8-10?</p>

<p>alright, wow, do they even tell you your raw score?</p>

<p>nope 10 char</p>

<p>I ended up with 770, ehh not too bad</p>

<p>how did everyone else do?? Mabsjen: did you get the coveted 800 you wanted?</p>
