Yes, but I think if Spain wanted to increase their prestige, furthering their dominance in Europe would be a pretty good way to do it…</p>
<p>Is their a choice to omit or do u just leave it blank?</p>
<p>For the question every has been discussing I put down “looking for markets for goods” because they were not doing that. The Spanish were the first people to go to the Americas so they didnt even know if there were people there when they went .</p>
<p>Why is the answer to “Which state was the first colonial settlement located in?” (or something similar to this) Florida? Jamestown was the first permanent colonial settlement and it was located in Virginia.</p>
<p>^ I agree that’s the answer, but that’s not quite the reasoning behind it. If we’re talking since Columbus, Spain wasn’t even looking to colonize then; they were looking for Asia and trade.</p>
<p>Because it was Europe in gneral, nt Britain.</p>
<p>St. Augustine (Florida) was the first permanent colonial settlement.</p>
<p>@ACTTester: I’ve heard that St. Augustine is the oldest settlement in the United States, so that was my rationale in choosing Florida.</p>
<p>Did anybody else have trouble on the question where we had to guess the decade a number of books were published?</p>
<p>Yea. Practical we might be wrong 
im also at -4, but no omits. as for the open range question, im positively sure that it was homesteaders.</p>
<p>
Dang, alright. One confirmed wrong so far. Have we reached a confirmed answer to the “Who decided on local issues in colonial New England?” question and the Westward Expansion question?</p>
<p>For that one everyone’s talking about with Spain’s reasons for colonization, I’m almost 100% sure they weren’t looking for new markets. </p>
<p>And I put Florida for the first colony one. I wasn’t sure about that one, though.
Also, I don’t EVER remember learning about admiralty (?)… the smuggling one? So I left it blank.</p>
<p>Which was the westward expansion one?</p>
<p>What was the first country to start habitually exploring? Spain or Portugal? I must’ve changed my answer about like 3 time but ended up going w/ Portugal.</p>
<p>Also, what about the graph question with black voting? I put that black women had a large impact on voting.</p>
<p>Wait, what was the Westward Expansion question? I vaguely remember being very sure about my answer.</p>
<p>
I don’t remember exactly what the question asked but one of the choice was “declining beef demand in the East”.</p>
<p>Oh, the cattle ranges and all that? It had to be declining beef demand, all the other choices were correct.</p>
<p>Any ideas on the admiralty trials, about smugglers?</p>
<p>@ACTTester “On this basis about twofifths
of adult males enjoyed the franchise in provincial
affairs, a far larger proportion than in contemporary
England. Town governments, which conducted much
important business, were even more inclusive. There all
male property holders, and in some cases other residents
as well, enjoyed the priceless boon of publicly discussing
local issues…”</p>
<p>I don’t remember the phrasing of the question exactly but the American Pageant textbook kind of corroborates the town meetings answer choice, doesn’t it?</p>
<p>The black voters graph one I think was that the voting legislation of the 60s let more blacks vote. There was nothing about women on the graph.</p>
<p>@swebber I think it was definitely declining demand in the east, as all of the other answer choices were correct. </p>
<p>Quote from American Pageant:“Both the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act provided for trying offenders in the hated admiralty courts, where
juries were not allowed.”</p>
<p>So it’s definitely the lack of juries…</p>
<p>The admiralty court one was a lack of a trial by jury.</p>
<p>
I put that there were no juries but only because that seemed the most logical.
Hmm, I put religious leaders but I wasn’t very sure on this one either.
Agreed.</p>
