June 2006 - US History

<p>i missed 20, and so far i got 7 wrong. thats 63 raw points = 690, IF i get everything else right. which i wont.</p>

<p>sorry im only human.. everyone else in cc are robots</p>

<p>When did we ever get cut off from the Mississippi River? And specifically by the Spanish? The French were in control of the area at that time.</p>

<p>Guys, we need to find answers to the following:</p>

<p>How were the new deal and Great society different? </p>

<p>One choice was funding of the arts, and I think another was aiding blacks</p>

<p>Which group was upset about depreciation of colonial money during the revolution? Choices- Speculators, creditors, soldiers, I put speculators (not sure)</p>

<p>Last Question- What was not a problem of the 70's?</p>

<p>We were in a bad position until we bought lousiana territory</p>

<p>[One choice was funding of the arts] except Q i think.. government spent federal money on arts or something</p>

<p>Which group was upset about depreciation of colonial money during the revolution? </p>

<p>I put the soldiers. <em>shrugs</em></p>

<p>i put soldiers too</p>

<p>To settle the Mississippi river issue once and for all</p>

<p>Spain then had control over the river south of 32°30' north latitude, and, in what is known as the Spanish Conspiracy, hoped to gain greater control of Louisiana and all of the west. These hopes ended when Spain was pressured into signing Pinckney's Treaty in 1795.</p>

<p>There ya have it, case closed.</p>

<p>what about the inner city question</p>

<p>it was an except</p>

<p>i put the federal funding one</p>

<p>Fine fine you're right. You had to make me feel bad :)</p>

<p>And I put african americans. I think the WPA under the new deal did art projects.</p>

<p>haha, sorry. And falcon- i said the government didn't give aid to the inner city, because the late 1800's was before the progressive era.</p>

<p>African-Americans, who for many years had loyally voted with the Republican Party, switched to the Democratic Party as a result of the popular New Deal reforms. Though discriminated against by nearly every New Deal agency, especially in the South, they were almost never excluded from assistance altogether. The New Deal provided African-Americans with immediate economic assistance that stood between them and complete destitution.</p>

<p>But didn't the answer choice talk about reforms for blacks? If that wasn't right what was? Funding of the arts? (Johnson didn't fund the arts did he?)</p>

<p>i dont know the answer...but i think the AA choice was a trap.... very tough question though....maybe we should just let it goo</p>

<p>johnson did not fund the arts.... but fdr did... thts why they were different...well, tht was my reasoning....</p>

<p>Which group was upset about depreciation of colonial money during the revolution? </p>

<p>I put speculators...sounded right.</p>

<p>What were the other choices for the johnson/fdr one, I think I put C for that one.</p>

<p>i put the same etti....great minds think alike...haha</p>

<p>so it was speculators I guess?</p>

<p>speculators wanted more land, and could do so through the revolution.. --</p>

<p>No, New Deal never excluded blacks, but my textbook said that FDR never did anything to improve their rights. Anyway, I put civil rights for blacks as the answer to that question because that's what I remembered from my textbook. But I'm not positive this is right.</p>

<p>For why southerners moved west... I put the infertility of the land. Again, I remembered my textbook talking about the South using short-staple cotton after the cotton gin was invented and how the South became the "Cotton Kingdom". So it focused exclusively on cash crops, most notably cotton. Then my textbook talked about how that exclusiveness exhausted the soil, which forced southerners to constantly move west.</p>

<p>Exactly, they basically invested..haha vinny</p>

<p>hmm I'm mad about the ones I missed but I didn't know them so oh well.</p>
