May SAT II US History 2012

<p>Naval conference…</p>

<p>naval limits</p>

<p>It was the Washington Naval Conference for disarmament.</p>

<p>what about the one with cattle/buffalo? decreasing meat demand?</p>

<p>Ohhhh yess I remember it now, it was european diseases.</p>

<p>And @Red…it wasn’t pragmatist, it was romantic i’m pretty sure. And yes he was rejecting reason…</p>

<p>EDIT: Here’s my proof for the whitman one:
Page 122 in Direct Hits:
“WALT WHITMAN:
Walt Whitman was america’s leading ROMATIC poet.
In Leaves of Grass, first published in 1855, Whitman rejected REASON and celebrated his own feelings/emotions.”</p>

<p>EDIT #2: Was the very last question from a Populist Leader?</p>

<p>Lol I put severe weather but guessed</p>

<p>It was definitely the increased meat demand one! There was severe weather because of the droughts.</p>

<p>Crap I put for the poem that he was rejecting the reliance on reason…</p>

<p>Here is the poem if anyone wants it to refer to:</p>

<p>[When</a> I Heard the Learn?d Astronomer by Walt Whitman : The Poetry Foundation](<a href=“http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/174747]When”>When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer by Walt… | Poetry Foundation)</p>

<p>lol i put decreased demand. that was illogical.</p>

<p>Whitman was a romantic…</p>

<p>Edit: See SwaggerJoe. He beat me to it.</p>

<p>The one that was like Which of the following was NOT a reason for imperialism.
Was it something along the lines of “America was overcrowded and we needed more land to send ppl to”</p>

<p>And somebody pleaseee answer about the last one lol</p>

<p>Did anyone get barbed wire for the buffalo question?</p>

<p>Textiles or women’s clothing now being made outside of the home?</p>

<p>What time period did the cattle ranching question refer to? I don’t think it was a wartime, because demand for beef would obviously not decrease then… I put decreased demand, vaguely remembering seeing barbed wire in the American Pageant and laughing to myself.</p>

<p><a href=“The Introduction of Barbed Wire to the Frontier”>The Introduction of Barbed Wire to the Frontier;

<p>“The introduction of barbed wire to the frontier” - 1870s</p>

<p>I put Homestead Act, because it said “EXCEPT” so the Homestead Act would actually allow more cattle ranches out west because they’d get a huge lot of land for free. But that’s just my backward thinking.</p>

<p>i said women’s clothing but I have no idea if its right</p>

<p>I put women’s clothing…</p>

<p>I put the new homesteads being out west as well</p>

<p>Guys… This test was recycled!!! From 2009!!! ***

<p>Homestead Act settled the land (with barbed wire LOL) and thus the cattle grazing decreased.</p>
