May 2013 US history (question pool)

<p>@SeaSwalloed. Pretty sure the answer choice was something like D, religious toleration. The rest of the answers were correct as Virginia was the first to do them. I think the other answers included cash-crop economy and representative government (House of Burgesses)</p>

<p>It was religious toleration for Viginia and the Nativst “which was” because prohibition and Ku Klux Klan(against African American) weren’t also nativist sentiment</p>

<p>There were two different questions that related to nativism.</p>

<p>The answer for one was Sacco and Venzetti</p>

<p>The answer for the other was the Teapot Dome Scandal (it was an “EXCEPT” type of question asking about nativism and intolerance)</p>

<p>why would it be brooks farm and not new harmony?</p>

<p>somethingkinda: according to sparknotes… 770-780 ish</p>

<p>@somethingkinda Thanks. Now I remember that that was what I put. Still at -2, 0 omit!</p>

<p>I’m at I think -4 and 2 omit. Is this still an 800? How many can I miss with 2 omits and still get 800?</p>

<p>@obsquared If memory serves, I believe there was only one question on “Each of the following is an example of nativism and intolerance EXCEPT:”
-Sacco and Vanzetti
-Teapot Dome
-KKK
-Prohibition
I put Teapot Dome Scandal because it was about bribery. The Sacco and Vanzetti trial was supposedly due to anti-immigrant sentiment. The KKK not only attacked African Americans but also foreigners too. I reasoned Prohibition would not be the BEST answer because one could argue it could fall under “intolerance”.</p>

<p>Also “People in the slave states were not illiterate, they were unschooled. The 1850 census recorded that more than 80 percent of white adults and 70 percent of free black adults in the South could read.” <a href=“http://history.uark.edu/6067.php[/url]”>http://history.uark.edu/6067.php&lt;/a&gt;
Therefore the answer to that description was the South in the 1850s. </p>

<p>confused about the o’sullivan quote. I put California but Google results suggest that he was referencing to texas? I don’t remember Texas being one of the options</p>

<p>@watermelon exactly. I’m actually hoping they’ll throw that question out because I am 100% positive Texas wasn’t an answer choice because that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw “annexation”. It could be argued that California is related since it was also acquired from the Mexican American war, but that’s iffy at best.</p>

<p>The O’Sullivan question was totally fine, no reason to throw it out. It was referring to his concept of Manifest Destiny, and acquiring California after the Mexican War (Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo) satisfies it.</p>

<p>Yeah the Annexation question is a bit skewed, but Orange is right, it’s fair enough that they’ll keep it for sure.</p>

<p>**** -9 so far…</p>

<p>@name123</p>

<p>New Harmony wasn’t created by transcendentalists - Brooks Farm was.</p>

<p>Was the Eastern Woodland Indians answer something about naming their children after their mother?
Was the mesoamerican question wheels?</p>

<p>What did you guys say for the one that asked what stopped the British from settling Western New York? I said something about indians and the british i think.</p>

<p>@ivyleague9 I put Indians and French</p>

<p>^yup same here.</p>

<p>I put wheels for the mesoamerican one, I’m pretty certain that’s right…</p>

<p>I said wheels for the Mesoamerican one and for the Native American question I put the thing about the mother’s lineage. </p>

<p>I’m still confused about the New York question - I thought the Dutch had control in that region - why would the French and Indians prevent the English from colonizing?</p>
