<p>damn. i had italy first and changed it to france.</p>

<p>cuban missle- yes. soviets take out missles from cuba. so E was answer</p>

<p>@nostalgic: Yeah, I think so too.</p>

<p>lol I had the slave answer for the graph :P</p>

<p>@ nostalgic oh ok thanks, i misread your previous post as saying the answer to the cuban missile crisis was A</p>

<p>^I put the slave answer too. It was between that and natural birth. I would have put natural birth rate (b/c ik that the colonies had an especially high one), but I didn’t because nothing on the graph could support that. All that you see are years and the pop. going way up. It wasn’t the Malthus thing b/c it showed no data on food production. Malthus said that population increases geometrically (exponentially), while food increases arithmetically, and that thus, population will outpace food production quickly. However, we don’t know whether food production was also increasing exponentially at the time (with the increase in farm hands, technology, etc.). Natural birth rate cannot be corroborated although if u didn’t show me a graph and asked me that question, I would’ve answered birth rate. That leaves only slavery.</p>

<p>the only thing that causes pop to go up is IMMIGRATION(which includes slavery) and a large number of births. My textbook says it was chiefly the birth rate that explains the population boom. I still think its number of birth. Because honestly- no matter what circumstance, a large birth and low death will increase population. You don’t need a graph to know that, and the graph only justifies that prediction.
It’s a stupid question in my opinion. Too many seemingly correct answers on it.</p>

<p>@smugfiend Keep in mind that the USSR joined the Allies before the United States did.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the question about urban trends? I said the majority lived in cities by 1920.</p>

<p>That’s right kameronsmith</p>

<p>For the map with the plantation home before and after the civil war did you guys say the civil war radically changed housing patterns?</p>

<p>Fugitive slave act
I put something like former slaves lived near their plantations…</p>

<p>I put the fugitive slave law but… the compromise of 1850 did all of those things so I’m not sure which one would lead to the most anti-slavery sentiment.</p>

<p>yeah but i remember there being like darker squares of different slaves that weren’t there on the before map. so I’m guessing those slaves moved there meaning they didn’t live close to their former slave owners?</p>

<p>The North hated the fugitive slave law and tried their best to fight it. The other stuff didn’t affect them.</p>

<p>I think the better answer was the one I chose. The movement wasn’t RADICAL, as we see former slaves lived near their plantations. Most agree its former slaves did not move far because it WAS supported by the picture.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>that was my logic, but i agree the other one is the better choice</p>

<p>edit: guy above me got it</p>

<p>Treaty of paris was what the terms were for it</p>

<p>

I’m pretty sure the question was about the first half of the 1800s, with the answer being canals.</p>
