<p>Sorry, I was trying to type that quickly. :P</p>
<p>Basically, the Treaty of Paris had a part saying that the British would vacate all of their forts on American soil. But the thing is, the soldiers never left, which became a problem for America. So President Washington sent John Jay over to England to negotiate Jay’s Treaty (which many Americans thought to be too conciliatory towards the British), after which the British soldiers left.</p>
<p>The Treaty of Paris DID NOT say Mississippi was the boundary.
It does state like 4 or 5 clauses about debts being repaid, though.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure the answer was about British troops in North America, not just the United States.</p>
<p>but they still had Canada, so why would they remove all of their troops from North America?</p>
<p>But the thing said debts would not have to be paid or something, which wasn’t the answer.</p>
<p>born2dance94, you have it the opposite, actually.
I chose the Mississippi answer and just looked it up in my textbook and Wikipedia now to be sure.
Strictly made Mississippi River the western boundary and, in fact, never mentioned the British removing troops.</p>
<p>@born2dance94</p>
<p>What?
How did the US acquire the land between the colonies and the Mississippi then? Magic?</p>
<p>Hmm, About.com isn’t the most reliable source, but this is what it says:</p>
<p>“1782-1783: Treaties with the United Kingdom establish the U.S. as an independent country and establish the boundary of the United States as being bound on the north by Canada, on the south by Spanish Florida, on the west by the Mississippi River, and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean.”</p>
<p>It’s in my textbook too haha… Mississippi was def right answer.</p>
<p>yay lol, i at least got one answer right haha</p>
<p>@Alex452, Don’t apologize, Nope, it means with subtracting! :)</p>
<p>Do you guys remember other answer choices for treaty of Paris?</p>
<p>did any of the answers in the test today involve greenback money and/or the gold standard? if so, what was/were the question(s)?</p>
<p>Hey do you guys remember the answer to question about the War Powers Act in 1973(?)</p>
<p>Also, for the question about mining, i know that consensus is that banks + corps is the right answer. but did the right answer choice INCLUDE the phrase “looking west” for ventures?</p>
<p>Anyone remember the answer to the calhoun/jackson question? What immediately lead to the strife between the two? I think some of the answer choices were a) congress passing bills with jackson’s support b) south carolina having the desire to… do something </p>
<p>It had something to do with nullification
PS what was the actual 14th amendment question?</p>
<p>war powers made it so the president would have to tell congress when he made troop commitments for more than 60 days</p>
<p>congress has right to stop president from using troops. rolando has it right.
I don’t think it did. it was easily banks and all
it was the tariffs passed on jackson’s appoval
the 14th amendment? established naturalization rights for all born on the US, which includes slaves</p>
<p>oh and was there a question that resembled something like this: what was the most federalist policy of Jefferson?</p>
<p>Oh weird. Wikipedia doesn’t say the Mississippi thing. They just talk about debt a lot. Also, British troops weren’t actually removed. I’m not talking about the test, but if I were to have chosen something, I may or may not have said Mississippi because I would’ve thought that was the answer before I would’ve checked Wikipedia when I came home.</p>
<p>Wow. That was confusing. ;P</p>
<p>no…there was a question on embargo act hurting us more than Britain.</p>
<p>yeah, the embargo act ruined the american economy…for the war of 1812, that’s what i put…</p>
