**June SAT U.S. History Post Test Discussion**

<p>so icc v sherman i put regulation/prohibitive…is that right?</p>

<p>and the reason for war of 1812, i put they wanted to expand and get rid of the indians.</p>

<p>@wyjang, why not math though?</p>

<p>“When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts, the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause”</p>

<p>I believe that Whitman was criticizing math. Although Whitman was a non-conformist, implying that he loathed logic, the passage offered mentioned nothing about logic in general. It’s called “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” and it’s one of the more famous of his poems, the astronomer makes no mention of logic, but “proofs” and whatnot, so math seems like the “logic” choice to me. :)</p>

<p>Also, I think of the movements listed he fits into the Romanticism movement the most, he was really in a league of his own, but the poem selected is romantic.</p>

<p>Maybe I’m applying too many CR skills to a history exam?</p>

<p>ezpzlemon. i cant say im 100% sure, but walt whitman incorporated transcendalism and realism in his work, and i dont think his poem was meant to be taken as a literal interpretation</p>

<p>Yeah, I put criticizing math, because if they put a quote, I would say they want you to use the stuff in the quote to answer the question, or at least draw some conclusions from what they give you.</p>

<p>Charts, proofs, diagrams = Geometry (at least in my head lol)</p>

<p>monroe doctrine had to do with international law to keep European countries out of the americas. Did the one with Andrew Jackson have to do with the Cherokee and the trail of tears?</p>

<p>I was tempted by reason, but I couldn’t find a line reference to back it up and Collegeboard is pretty about having the answer explicitly in the excerpt, so I put math
I don’t know, we’ll see heh</p>

<p>For the Farewell to Arms - reconstruction, what were the other choices? I just remember using process of elimination</p>

<p>1/4 of the Cherokee Tribe did die, and they were forced to move to OK by AJ despite the Court’s ruling that he could not force them to move.</p>

<p>was wilson’s fourteen points self determ</p>

<p>It was definitely A Farewell to Arms… it took place in World War I not Reconstruction.</p>

<p>I put that the ICC was effective while the Sherman Antitrust was not (because the latter was used against labor in court decisions), but I seem to be alone. EDIT: yeah nevermind ICC wasn’t effective. Answer was regulative/prohibitive.</p>

<p>@notanengineer-I put that too.</p>

<p>Also was one of the answers fundamentalism.</p>

<p>For the Monroe doctrine, online it says “He convinced President Monroe to make a unilateral declaration of American policy, which has since become known as the Monroe Doctrine.” For this reason I think it was unilateral principle and not codification of international law, b/c it didn’t change other nation’s laws and they didnt agree to it</p>

<p>@chaldo: i put that, but i’m not totally sure.</p>

<p>@notanengineer: i nearly put that, but i erased it at the last secondand just left it blank because to call the Sherman Act totally ineffective was a little extreme, i thought.</p>

<p>@oblivion, agreed. it was asking about the movement in the early 1900s that wanted a more strict religious policy, and those guys were the fundamentalists</p>

<p>What did u guys put for the 3 years after 1929 one?</p>

<p>looking pretty good for me so far… anyone have confirmation about the ICCvs sherman? i put E cause it said that sherman was ineffective which wasn’t completely true. and its not necessarily a prohibitive measure. TR invoked it to break up trusts = regulation.</p>

<p>what were the choices? i think i put inflation for that one .</p>

<p>inflation^</p>
