June 2010: US History

<p>change the era of good feelings question to this:</p>

<p>What DIDN’T the war of 1812 immediately result in?</p>

<p>correct answer: gaining new territory</p>

<p>^I will change that. I’m updating the list</p>

<p>Wasn’t there a question about the Roosevelt Corollary?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think you confused that with Lusitania and WWI (which isn’t the correct answer anyhow, dam me.)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>There’s more of an argument that they left them for dead on the fields.</p>

<p>and can you clarify the riots 1863 riots to irish immigrants over draft</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s an incorrect answer to this:
61. Washington’s Farewell Address- not joining the league of nations</p>

<p>

I can confirm that. The [Wikipedia</a> page](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Draft_Riots]Wikipedia”>New York City draft riots - Wikipedia) actually has it listed as the NYC Draft Riots</p>

<p>i’m assuming the questions we can’t remember were probably really easy</p>

<p>i think you forgot to add the electric street car question?
the correct answer was something to do with bigger cities</p>

<p>Hey what about the question about the railroad that went from coast to coast wasnt that a question–
a) chineese exculsively built it
b) states paid for it
c) fedz did??</p>

<p>I think that was on there anyone confirm?</p>

<p>Yep physical expanions of cities</p>

<p>@ajax -Thanks. I’ll add that
@dhamz - I can confirm. I think the answer was that the government provided land grants for railroad companies</p>

<p>uhhh i think federal government paid for the railroad</p>

<p>def. wasnt chinese exclusively building it</p>

<p>No im talking about a different question—Im sure there was one like it</p>

<p>@dhamz</p>

<p>I think it had something to do with the gov giving them tax breaks and land or something but yes I remember that question.</p>

<p>yeah dhamz is right there was a question on transcontinental railroad i think</p>

<p>i put federal paid for it? not sure</p>

<p>lawl no. I would not mix up Gibbons and Plessy. maybe it was one of the wrong answers in the John Marshall question, but it had something to do with the supremacy of federal laws over state laws.</p>

<p>Yea i think the answer was that the fed gov financed it—anyone else??</p>

<p>wiki: The Congress supported it with 30-year U.S. government bonds and extensive land grants of government-owned land. </p>

<p>confirmed?</p>

<p>haha good enuf for me Taq that up on there less anyone objects?</p>

<p>I think there’s only one or two more questions left guys</p>
