Is anyone signed up for June?
@computerage no, it was Phyllis Schlafly who said “it is self-evident…that the female body with its baby-producing organs was not designed by a conspiracy of men but by the Divine Architect of the human race.”
Besides, the quote with Schlafly seemed pretty “oh women are great and having ‘equality’ would set us back”
what did you guys get for the fall of the cold war?
@gaver456 glasnost and perestroika (if that was an answer).
Here are some other ones that I haven’t seen people mention
-Baker vs. Carr was the one man one vote
-The Battle of Saratoga was a turning point in the war
-The NRA was the answer to the New Deal question
-Sinclair Lewis criticized middle-class conformity
-Internal improvements = transportation
-Emancipation proclamation freed slaves in areas of rebellion
-Revolution of 1800 was peaceful transfer of power
-Era of good feelings was national unity and pride
-Patriot Act was to fight terrorism
-French and Indian War: American theater of larger British vs. French war.
-FDR said the second bill of rights quote.
-Jackson established the Spoils System
-A Century of Dishonor led to the Dawes Act
-The Roosevelt Corollary made the U.S. a police power
Here are the ones I still have questions about:
- What did you guys say for the question that was like “All of these were the results of Garfield/McKinley’s assassination EXCEPT?” I can’t remember if it was Garfield or McKinley. The answers were gun control, Pendleton Act, arrests of anarchists (I think), occupation of southern states, and other stuff.
- Why did people oppose the gold standard? I said because it hurt debtors but I wasn’t sure.
- The graph on the second page showed that southerners had more than double of all other whites, right?
- What did black leaders want during World War II: U.S. to convince allies to dump colonies or for blacks to be employed?
- How did the U.S. finance World War I and World War II? The options were war bonds, devaluing the dollar, loans from other powers, and other stuff.
- 1830s reforms led to universal white male suffrage right?
- What did the English and French trade for? I think the options were gold, fur, trappings, lumber, and cod. I said gold since I associate that more with the spanish but I’m not sure.
Please help me out
These are the answers that I put:
- Pendleton Act
- I think I put A, forgot the actual answer. Something about farmers?
- Southerners had more than other regions
- Employment for blacks
- War bonds
- Don’t remember
- Are you sure the question wasn’t “all EXCEPT”…? I put gold for something, maize for another.
@16elir The Roosevelt Corollary involved incorporating and expanding help/control (but really just imperialism) over Latin America countries. The Garfield question was not an ‘EXCEPT’ question, and The Pendleton Act was the answer. The southerners had more than double the combined wealth. War bonds was how the u.s. funded war (back when people were patriots; and also power hungry). 1860’s led to…? not sure what the question was; 1830’s under Jackson was universal suffrage for males. The answer was gold that they didn’t find in their colonies.
- do you remember whether the question was about Garfield or McKinley? 2-6. cool
- it was EXCEPT. This was the one I said gold for. What is the maize one everyone is talking about? I have no memory of that being an anwer.
oh one last one:
8. did cotton become super popular in the antebellum period because of new land being opened or because of railroads and canals (this was an except question)
@16elir The SOUTH fell far behind in their internal improvements. It was mostly likely that answer.
@16elir - Garfield! The answer to that one question about natives was corn.
I put railroads/canals as the exception – I don’t think that was the reason why. If I remember correctly, the South didn’t really have an elaborate transportation system like the North before the Civil War.
^exactly
glass answered it ^^
@upennpls16 do you remember the other answers for the maize one?
@16elir there was stone structures, commercial fur trade, a strong centralized government and…cant remember the last one
@16elir Northeastern tribes were sedentary, whereas the Great Plains were nomadic. The northeastern Indians had highly developed agricultural communities. If you knew this much, the answer was relatively obvious.
What was the question with Thomas Jefferson & the Louisiana purchase?
it was that it wasn’t explicitly stated in the constitution
remember, jefferson was all for a strict interpretation, and buying the land was against his fundamental beliefs
- Yeah, it hurts debtors
- blacks to be employed
- devaluing dollar
- Gold Yup, thats all i can remember @16elir
For the South after Civil War question, I thought the exception was the new land being opened thing. Although the South had less transportation stuff, I thought after the Civil War once it was more unified with union transportation grew and they could at least send stuff to Europe, etc. And I didn’t get what new good cotton land was being opened.
