June 2010: US History

<p>aw i thought it was that one at first but then i changed my mind and said something about a distinction of powers. im such an idiot : (</p>

<p>For the colonial charter one, I think it had something to do about privileges/rights </p>

<p>There was that question with the small passage about how Britain was levying taxes and it had some italicized words, anyone remember the answer.</p>

<p>for the mercantilism question i put the only one NOT true was the colonies were able to establish ports/trade (?) around the world…i forgot the exact wording but around the world was in the answer which i figured was a bit extreme</p>

<p>Yeah for the small passage one about Britain it was “they levied taxes simply to raise revenue.”</p>

<p>Harambee, i put levying taxes for the purpose of raising revenue</p>

<p>Also, the revolution of 1828 question: Common people?</p>

<p>^I also put that</p>

<p>I put common people too</p>

<p>i put something about ports around the world for mercantilism</p>

<p>thomas jefferson, menlo park was for industrial research</p>

<p>what were the other choices for the TR panama addition question? i don’t remember that at all.</p>

<p>so did we agree that the difference was econ/pol between the AFL and the KoL?</p>

<p>yeah I also put ports around the world…there was one other confusing one that I forgot ugh.</p>

<h2>I believe that for the mercantilism one it was that “colonies export manufactured goods”. In mercantilism, the colony sends raw materials to the mother country and then the mother country makes the manufactured goods. We may need some more people to confirm that</h2>

<p>Anyone remember the question about which war did the U.S. first gain overseas territory? Was it the Spanish-American war?</p>

<p>I said that mercantilism didn’t include colonies as being used as ports for goods to be shipped around the world…I mean colonies were used for that, but I don’t think that would be a facet of mercantilism itself.</p>

<p>I thought the manufacturing thing in mercantilism said “export manufactured goods to GB” so I didn’t put that. unless I Was seeing things</p>

<p>@harambee</p>

<p>yeah it was the spanish american war</p>

<p>for the mercantilism one… wasnt one answer choice like tariffs on the british goods? thats how i interpreted the answer and its what i put</p>

<p>I skipped 8-9 questions. OMG. :(</p>

<p>There was a question about sit-ins in Greensboro, NC , I believe that the answer was something about African-American student non-violence. Can more people confirm?</p>

<p>i don’t think it was self-reliance, i think it was industrialization::</p>

<p>The antebellum South was largely agrarian and sought to preserve its cultural identity in departing from the Union, which led to the irrepressible conflict. After the war, the South was impoverished and seemed to be in great need of an alternative economy. The New South was no longer to be dependent on banned slave labor or predominantly upon the raising of cotton, but rather industrialized and part of a modern national economy. Henry W. Grady made this term popular in his articles and speeches as editor of the Atlanta Constitution. Richard H. Edmonds of the Baltimore Manufacturers Record was another staunch advocate of New South industrialization.</p>

<p>@Harambee
i put the student choice too</p>
