June 2010: US History

<p>Okay lol, I guess I’m not remembering them. sorry for that :P</p>

<p>“sugar act had something to do with customs”----Yea
Questions was like Why did england do the sugar act–Answer was to reinforce customs
Chinese exclusion==nice call it was chinese it was like chinese exclusion +X did what—limit immigration of people from some origins </p>

<p>add the two writers social problems</p>

<p>Oh, we seem to have forgotten the sugar act question. I vaguely remember choosing something about enforcing stricter customs or taxes in the colonies. But it was a guess.</p>

<p>Can anyone confirm that the answer to the question that dealt with the homestead act was something about speculators?</p>

<p>the two question about women in the 19th century were something like : one of them asked what occupation women held in the 1860s or (i thought it said 1890s) which is in the textile industry from what everyone is saying; and the other asked like what made it possible for so many women to hold jobs in the late 19th century and i think it was the new opportunities for clerical jobs, etc.</p>

<p>^Thanks for helping confirm. That’s what I was thinking</p>

<p>for the homestead act question where it asked how it showed faith in democracy i put that it gave Free men, Free land, or whatever it said, because it isnt democratic at all to give large tracts of land away to prospectors to sell to people at even higher prices and reap profits… thats what a lot of people were upset about</p>

<p>About Anne Hutchinson: I am positive it was the one about defying the clergy.</p>

<p>Conversion to the Puritans was a specific event in which someone had been visited by God and informed that he/she was a member of the elect and was thus predestined to go to heaven. If God had chosen you to be a member of the elect, you could join the church. Being a member of the elect meant that you were going to heaven no matter what and that faith alone was salvation. However, some Puritan leaders were embracing the merit of “good works” at the time in place of conversion/faith alone. Anne Hutchinson held to the principle of faith by conversion and antinomianism (obedience to the law, i.e, the Church, was not necessary because faith and not works determined salvation).</p>

<p>So Anne Hutchinson definitely believed in the necessity of conversion for salvation, and was expelled from Massachusetts Bay Colony for challenging the clergy’s position on the issue.</p>

<p>^We’ll just have to put that question up as debatable. I’m also very sure that it was about defying the clergy, but we’ll just have to wait and find out.</p>

<p>@alexxanderr -we need more people to confirm that. I put the answer that dealt with “speculators”</p>

<p>get a new list up we have 3 more then we do a count down from 10 gettem</p>

<p>is stephen crane/theodore dreiser they portrayed real life issues? something along that line?</p>

<p>^Yeah, something along those lines.</p>

<p>I’m about to update the list, but I need confirmation of these two questions:</p>

<p>There was a question that was like, “the population from 1946 to 1964 compared to the population in the 1930s” and I think the answer was grew rapidly because of the baby boom. Can anyone confirm?</p>

<p>There was also another question about a “market economy” and one of the answers was went from cities to rural areas. Can anyone confirm this</p>

<p>I also believe there was a question about the Japanese Internment and Pearl Harbor, but I don’t remember the answer.</p>

<p>i got the same ones</p>

<p>only question it seems most of us are divided on is that anne hutchinson one</p>

<p>I put the cities to rural areas answer for the market economy question
But idk if that’s right.</p>

<p>The Homestead one was “free soil, free land, free men” </p>

<p>The oil crisis 1973 is NOT antipollution legislation; the windfall profits tax only came in 1980 (7 years later, in regards to the 1979 crisis)
it was windfall profits</p>

<p>and confirm market economy is was except cities to rural areas
and confirm 1946-1964 population was increased dramatically [baby boom]</p>

<p>There was also a question about the Berlin Airlift, and the answer was something like the Soviet Union blockaded entrances into Berlin. Can someone confirm?</p>

<p>the Anne Hutchinson one is definitely the answer about denying that only clergy can interpret scripture- she got kicked out of Massachusetts for preaching stuff from the bible when she wasnt a minister. and she started a home bible study group, she really believed in individuals connecting with the bible</p>

<p>and yes the berlin airlift one CONFIRMED was to try to force us out of west berlin by blockading supplies
i also put that the cities to rural areas was NOT what contributed to the market economy… thats what it asked right?</p>

<p>@ajax, do you have any examples of antipollution legislation after oil embargo?</p>

<p>Alexanderr: Yes, it asked what did NOT contribute to the market economy. So we all agree that the answer is cities->rural areas.</p>

<p>I confirm the berilt airlift blockading supplies.</p>
