May 2013 US history (question pool)

<p>I don’t remember Sacco and Vanzetti being an answer…it was a choice but I chose Teapot Dome</p>

<p>I think I omitted the New York question</p>

<p>Also for Elizabeth Cady Stanton was it both genders or surroundings? I picked the latter :-(</p>

<p>i wasn’t sure about her either! i put surroundings because that’s what she was mainly referring to…but idk i’m not sure</p>

<p>I feel like the quote had a deeper meaning to it, couldn’t have been that simple. But I still put surroundings for my answer.</p>

<p>I said men and women. My reasoning was that the quote began with mentioning all humans are equal or something like that.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember what the question was to the one where the answer choices were all amendments? The answer was a reconstruction amendment, but I don’t remember the question</p>

<p>Oh and there was also a question that was like what did the 14th amendment repeal? I put dred scott v. sandford, does anyone remember that question?</p>

<p>I also put the 14th amendment for the Dred Scott question.</p>

<p>okay so I didn’t put wheels for that one Pre-Columbian question. I said they hadn’t invented “mathematical calendars” because I reasoned that the Maya created astrologically based calendars, not mathematical (like the Gregorian). Did I just over think this one or…</p>

<p>Oh, I thought the answer choice was Dred Scott and the question was about the 14th amendment…or was that a diff question? the other choices were ridiculous like Cherokee Nation v. Georgia and some water bridge case</p>

<p>the question was like
“the 1954 segregation of buses was removed because it violated:”
A) 1st amendment (Wrong)
B) 2nd amendment (Wrong)
C) 13th amendment
D) 14th amendment
E) 15th amendment</p>

<p>I put the 15th amendment b.c 1/3 chance of getting it right. Does anyone know what’s the answer for this one? i think it might be the 14th :/</p>

<p>The answer was definitely the 14th, I remember covering it in APUS. The conditions of segregated facilities were inherently unequal, violating the equal protection clause.</p>

<p>13th amendment is abolishing slavery so that can’t be it and 15th is voting so that can’t be it, it has to be 14
I don’t remember if I put 14 or 15 now…if it was 15 I feel really stupid</p>

<p>i put equal genders for elizabeth stanton</p>

<p>damn it, i put down 14th then erased it and put 15th ughh. and for elizabeth cady stanton it was either equal genders or surroundings… does anyone know which ones is correct?</p>

<p>It’s the fourteenth amendment. Dred Scott v. Stanford said that African Americans weren’t citizens and the fourteenth amendment overturned that decision - it says that African Americans are indeed citizens.</p>

<p>gini0918. The answer is Sugar. Prior to the discovery of America there were no sugar plantations found in Europe. Even though maize sounded right Im pretty sure they were able to cultivate corn in Europe.</p>

<p>this is from wikipedia but… “After European contact with the Americas in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, explorers and traders carried maize back to Europe and introduced it to other countries.”</p>

<p>[Maize</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize]Maize”>Maize - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>It’s maize, come on, that one is so common.</p>

<p>aaand sugar was previously obtained in Asia (esp. India), the answer is definitely maize.</p>

<p>What was the answer to that one question about transcendentalists’ utopian society? I was between New Harmony and Oneida just because they sounded familiar, clearly I didn’t know what I was doing.</p>

<p>It was Brook Farms - I got that one wrong too - I put Oneida.</p>

<p>oh man Oh I feel like I did bad. after reading all these replies</p>
