<h2>88. electric street cars - physical expansion of cities</h2>

<p>Can someone confirm these two questions
89. Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor???
90. something about Hollywood blacklisting</p>

<p>hollywood blacklisting was a wrong answer for #57 palmer raids</p>

<p>hollywood blacklisting was an answer choice to the red scare question
57. Red Scare after WWI - police raids</p>

<p>word seems to be it was pretty hard. any chance a -10 is 800?</p>

<h1>53 im pretty sure it was plessy v ferguson?</h1>

<p>dont remember anything about slaughter house cases</p>

<p>When can we know the score online?</p>

<p>^^I confirm the above posts.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Again, I think you guys are confusing a practice test question with the one about WWI and the Lusitania.</p>

<p>^Thanks. So only two more questions</p>

<p>@kaitanuva yeah i think the pearl harbor thing was from something else</p>

<p>What were the other choices for the red scare question?
Confirmed answer for era of good feelings?
What did slaves in the south argue was a positive of slavery
choices- They would learn chrisitiantiy
They can work for freedom
They learn how to read</p>

<h1>53 plessy v ferguson…</h1>

<p>and im gonna argue #66</p>

<p>1 - the wording on the test was NOT antipollution, im sure it was “Congress passed comprehensive energy bill”</p>

<p>which they did:
National Highway Energy Conservation Act – 1974
1977 – Department of Energy
National Energy Act of 1978 – Wikipedia says: response to 1973 Oil Crisis
Includes:
:black_small_square: Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) (Pub.L. 95-617)
:black_small_square: Energy Tax Act (Pub.L. 95-618)
:black_small_square: National Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA) (Pub.L. 95-619)
:black_small_square: Power Plant and Industrial Fuel Use Act (Pub.L. 95-620)
Natural Gas Policy Act (Pub.L. 95-621).</p>

<h2>1974 – year round daylight savings</h2>

<p>they did NOT pass windfall profits tax until 1980, in response to 1980 oil embargo (the question was referring to 1973 oil crisis)</p>

<p>so it had to be windfall profits</p>

<p>

</p>

<ol>
<li>I can confirm that the answer to the red scare question was the one about police raids and Justice Dpt being involved. Recall that Palmer himself was the Attorney Justice.</li>
<li>Christianity.</li>
</ol>

<p>i chose the energy conservation bill, but i admit ajax has really backed himself up, and proved windfall tax wrong… so yeah answer choice should be windfall tax</p>

<p>Anybody remember an option about “inflation.” I think that was in the oil embargo one or maybe it was another…? Cuz I remember I put inflation down for something.</p>

<p>im worried</p>

<p>hey, guys, im kinda worried, you guys are mentioning the pearl harbor question, but i like, am PRETTY sure that WAS NOT on my test, everything else was and the only question i skipped was nothing abt pearl harbor. is it possible that that question is only on SOME tests in place of smth else i might of had cuz i dont remember it at ALL and im pretty sure its cuz i didnt have it…</p>

<p>Pearl Harbor was NOT on the test. PERIOD!</p>
