June 2 US History

<p>Silent Majority: supported Vietnam</p>

<p>Entertainment in Cities: Definitely picture palaces. I remember reading about how department stores came into being in the late 1800s. For example, Macy's was in New York in 1858. (wiki)</p>

<p>As for the colonial cities one: it's definitely rivers.</p>

<p>"rivers isnt the right answer because water transport was how colonial cities transported goods, esp befor wagon roads."</p>

<p>That isn't true: they didn't begin building widespread canals until after the colonial era. And if they were connected by rivers, why on earth would they even build canals? It was A.</p>

<p>I'm second guessing the Worchester v Georgia one. Does anybody remember the choices?</p>

<p>resulted in Cherokee being killed in trail of tears</p>

<p>Just a quick thing about the curve. I took a PR practice test in class awhile back and got 18 wrong (no omits), and it translated to a 760. Not sure how the CB curve compares to the PR one, though.</p>

<p>was the little reading passage at the end about how women should get the same education as men?</p>

<p>And what is the answer for the question with Brigham Young/Susan b Anthony as choices?</p>

<p>Did anyone notice that they asked A LOT of social question. I think the only "Act" that they even asked baout was the act of toleration which everyone knows.</p>

<p>And what do you have to say about the fact that only one city in colonial America had over 25000 inhabitants? (Philadelphia) (I also put rivers at the time)</p>

<p>it depends on how they worded the question. if it was "no city" then 25,000 is the choice.
but anyway, for rivers: amsco says- "most plantations were located on rivers so that cash crops could be shipped directly to europe." "tranposrting goods by water was much easier...trading cneters like boston...located on good and navigable rivers." so 25,000 is the only choice left.</p>

<p>but can anyone confirm panama canal is the answer for the hawaiicali company?</p>

<p>Ok, this question is confusing me. Wasn't it worded something like "Most colonial cities had a poplulation less than 25,000"? And if so, this is a true statement, so it could not be the correct choice.</p>

<p>well, idon't know. then it must have been one of the other choices - not river or 25,000. </p>

<p>anyone sure it's panama canal (checked amsco?</p>

<p>The panama canal ? wont be in any review book, its just something u have to think about. The quesiotn was whihc of the following would a northeastern merchant guy support if he has many customers in california or hawaii. Since the date that they listed was definitely b4 airplanes, the only way is to go by boat. To go aruond north america, the fastest way is to sail thorugh the panama canal to the west coast.</p>

<p>I'm almost positive that one is panama canal.</p>

<p>Btw, the panama canal question i thought was really stupid. It doesnt even require any knowledge of history. All u us had t know was where the canal is located u coudl get it right.</p>

<p>ugggh.. i took the test today- and ur test seeems soooooooooooo much easier than the sunday test version- that is the most infuriating thing!</p>

<p>For the rivers one, didn't it say that they were all located on inter-connecting rivers? I might just have made this up...but if it is right, then doesn't that make it the right answer to the except question? My US geography is poor at best (UK), but I don't think that's really how rivers work, no?</p>

<p>IDK, that was a hard question. But all of the colonial cities were not connected by rivers, although, some were on rivers that flowed to the ocean.</p>

<p>I just picked rivers because i coudl only think of like 2 rivers in the NE and it said seaboard cities so cant they just use the ocean??</p>

<p>ok..i think the point of having your city located on the river is bc that river flows to other cities, so it's a transporattation. but i really have no idea. if someone finds some justificatin for 25,000 then that's it...</p>

<p>The answer is indeed rivers.</p>

<p>I'm confused. Didn't it say 'all are true except', and the options were three others and then 'all were linked by connecting rivers' and 'most had populations under 25,000'?</p>

<p>I don't think they were all connected by rivers, so surely that's it?</p>

<p>I don't know anymore though...maybe I'm not remembering correctly...:-)</p>
