<p>is there a site for the usual curves? my blue book says 79/90 is an 800. any other books/newer editions say otherwise?</p>
<p>for the people who were talking about the population graph question - did anyone put slavery population increases? cause the last year on the chart was 1780 i think which was when a lot more slaves got imported because of tobacco fields.</p>
<p>for the miss. river question one - did anyone put more speculating for the slkdjsldkjf? something like that? i’m pretty sure the colonists gained that piece of land with the land of ordinance (forgot the year)</p>
<p>this was easier than the AP mc!!! hoping for 650~700+ :)</p>
<p>I’ve got a question. I’m probably taking this test in June, and I was wondering what would be good to use to study for it? I have the Crash Course book for APUSH, even though I decided not to take the AP. Would that be good enough for a high score?</p>
<p>Coolridge’s speech was AGAINST higher incomes for the wealthy; he advocated that all should be driven to success-- not punished for it. None of the answers for the first were really accurate, but I assumed the best was low taxes for the rich (though the word “low” is really subjective-- he certainly wanted them LOWER, but not necessarily low). A progressive tax could have referred to the Progressive Era OR to an income tax (progressively getting higher with income), so the question really lacked validity.</p>
<p>I used Barron’s + Amsco for the AP and SAT2 :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Me, haha. :P</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>don’t you mean against higher taxes for the wealthy? </p>
<p>on another note, arrg!!! carelessness takes its toll again</p>
<p>I think i put slavery population increase too.</p>
<p>Coolidge definitely supported tax cuts for the wealthy. He was also one of the notable Republicans of that time period to support a laissez faire policy. </p>
<p>“They reduced taxes again by passing the Revenue Acts of 1926 and 1928, all the while continuing to keep spending down so as to reduce the overall federal debt.[114] By 1927, only the richest 2% of taxpayers paid any federal income tax.[114] Although federal spending remained flat during Coolidge’s administration, allowing one-fourth of the federal debt to be retired, state and local governments saw considerable growth, surpassing the federal budget in 1927.”</p>
<p>What I remember about Coolidge was that he (and the other 2 1920’s Republican presidents) strengthened the partnership between big business and government.</p>
<p>What ended up being the consensus on how Coolidge felt about America? Was it stratified economically/otherwise harmonious, that the US was on the verge of financial collapse, or something else? Personally, I changed from D (verge of financial collapse) to C (don’t remember what it was), which gave me 6 C’s in a row.</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh, also, was it the USSR (or Italy) that wasn’t part of the Allies?</p>
<p>stratified and harmonious. financial collapse is too harsh an answer</p>
<p>stratified economically, fundamentally harmonious</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL yeah i had 5 C’s in a row and then a blank row between one of the two C’s and when i came back to it i thought how funny it would be. i think the “economically stratified but essentially harmonious” or something was choice A though.</p>
<p>and yeah, the answer was Italy for one of them</p>
<p>there was a question about the cuban missile crisis…i think i put E…</p>
<p>Italy? Yes, I do recall that. and smugfiend- it was A. I only recall 4c’s in a row though…that was the weird one. i thought i was doing something wrong lol</p>
<p>Oh crap. It was Italy? My friend told me it was the USSR during the break and I actually listened to him. -__-</p>
<p>what would 5 wrong be</p>
<p>@ 31415 yes, the US allied with the soviets after hitler abandoned stalin.
@ nostalgicwisdom nooooooooooooo do you remember the question/answer?
@ rd2012 5 wrong = 800 i think</p>
<p>hey so about the question with 14th amendment…didn’t the 13th amendment ban slavery? I thought the 14th amendment stated equal protection under the law…because the compilation a couple posts back states soemthing with 14th amendment and banning slavery.</p>
<p>“Progressive tax” does not refer in any way to the Progressives of the Progressive Era. It means, as I think someone stated above, that the percentage of income taxed goes up as the income goes up. (here’s a Wikipedia article if you don’t believe me: [Progressive</a> tax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_tax]Progressive”>Progressive tax - Wikipedia)). Personally, I thought the quote was a little ambiguous. Here’s the full excerpt, (though this contains more than the part on the test did, because the College Board cut some sentences out):
I chose “Progressive Tax”, though I really think it’s a toss-up between that and “Lower Taxes for Rich People,” as he voices opposition to “extremely” large taxes (which seems to imply that large taxes are still ok), but also says people shouldn’t be punished for being rich…</p>
<p>The second part was definitely stratification though.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the answer to:
- Majority of gross capital in the second half of the 1800s? I put railroads</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Transatlantic slave trade? Did the “vast majority” of slaves go to the southern colonies or to the Carribean? I thought i may have been kind of a trick, so I put the Caribbean, but it was a total guess.</p></li>
<li><p>Owner of most of the mining capital by the 1870s? Was it corporations or individuals?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>yes, that’s right csk90</p>
<p>post-
1- me too
2- you’re right
3- corporations</p>
<p>Progressive Tax makes no sense. The answer is pretty obviously lower taxes on wealthy. I think you overthought it.</p>
