May 2008 US History

<ol>
<li>royal governor decreased in power</li>
</ol>

<p>I got
1. factionalism
2. omitted
3. UN base in japaon
4. royal governor</p>

<p>so the Hudson school one, was the answer A? </p>

<p>and for the GW one it was Monroe Doctrine?</p>

<p>thanks for the list.
h/e, are you sure that for the WWI question, we are the major steel producers? And the 1990's women's pay still lagged behind men's. Any other opinions?</p>

<p>Bryan didn't support silver coinage - he had agrarian sympathies. He did, however, support silverbacking which is a similar but different concept.</p>

<p>what was the answer to bryan then? and the WWI q?</p>

<p>im pretty sure that the one for difference between whites and native americans was that the men raised the children</p>

<p>id need to look it up for confirmation but im almost positive we talked about that in APUS earlier this year.</p>

<p>the hudson river school is definitely the one with landscapes.</p>

<p>question: for the one about the "necessary and proper clause", which of those quotes was the opposite? i put "the constitution is the supreme law of the land" because it seemed like strict v. loose construction, but im not really sure. ????</p>

<p>If I remember correctly, one of the main planks of Bryan's platform and the Populist agenda was the free coinage of silver.</p>

<p>Actually, Villa wanted to mess up the current revolutionary government by instigating US intervention into Mexico by killing Americans in Arizona/New Mexico Area.</p>

<p>are you guys sure about WWI and us being major steel producers, weren't we number one since the 1870s (or was it the UK, i think by virtue of size and access to natural resources we'd have been number one)</p>

<p>No, he was Populist - the answer choice involved the agrarian soemthing or another. There is a DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SILVER-BACKING AND SILVER COINAGE. Silver-backing meant having the U.S. gov't print money with silver to "back up" the currency. Silver coinage is using silver as material for coins. Bryan supported the former, not the latter. He was, however, pro-agrarian and advocated for farmers' rights, etc.</p>

<p>and to bulldoghopeful:</p>

<p>yes, after the civil war, the Bessemer process was introduced which revolutionized the way steel was made.</p>

<p>and i'm also pretty sure treaty of versailles addressed disarmament, i think the choices are between poland and czechloslovokia-could be wrong tho.</p>

<p>LBJ – All EXCEPT peace corps</p>

<p>i think LBJ's Great Society does involve Peace corps. :)
for progressive president candidate i put WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN (spazattack is that who you're referring to? </p>

<p>FDR=New Deal & Theodore Roosevelt= Trust busting (not progressive I thought!)</p>

<p>i thought the treaty of vasailles was czechloslovokia!
b/c the treaty did include the disarmament (i don't think it said major powers, i think it just said national disarmament or something!)</p>

<p>Teddy was the Progressive candidate, Bryan was populist. JFK introduced Peace Corps, they weren't part of the Great Society. Progressive was trust-busting, it was reformation attacking social evils, etc.</p>

<p>treaty versailles was disarmament for all major powers bc it was only for germany not all powers</p>

<p>Peace Corps was introduced by JFK</p>

<p>Progressives is definately Roosevelt.</p>

<p>Yes Bryan was who I was referring to.</p>

<p>bestyanks i agree with you on basically everything except </p>

<p>New Negro Langston Hughes Zora Neale Hurston – i thought it was blacks returning to Africa
Truman and Macarthur conflict – i put something else but not UN base in Japan (but this i wasn't sure abt!)
Indians different from English settlers – i thought it was the wives control the children or something!<br>
Rights from constitution – right to privacy (i thought it was privacy because you know the whole terrorist issue & like listening to phones?)
Progressives in election of 1912 – run William Jenning Bryan
Why new imperialism – i think it had something to do w/ foreign policies
Mercantilism – i put something to do w/ mother country & colony
1990's - i put woman abandon traditional jobs
Enter WW1 – sinking of Lousitania (sorry can't spell)</p>

<p>good job bestyanks: it seems like you really know your stuff! :)</p>

<p>ok so some of my answers have been wrong but at least i got the questions out there for debate. i think we have at least 60% of the test compiled which is extraordinary. if anyone thinks of anymore please post and list will continually be updated.</p>

<p>Thank you Kiiki but it wasn't just me, procrastination was part of a AIM chat we had as well as a few others.</p>

<p>yeah kiiki half of those are wrong</p>

<p>So what's the verdict on Treaty of Versailles, and basic change to US econ during world war one?</p>

<p>i'll consolidate all the lists at around 7ish PT if anyone wants</p>
