May SAT II US History 2012

<p>Sorry, can’t help ya with any of those SwaggerJoe</p>

<p>Who was least likely to support Manifest Destiny? I thought I narrowed it down to New England abolitionist and Southern Slaveholder, and I guessed NE abolitionist, even though I figured that neither of those people would be terribly enthusiastic about manifest destiny.</p>

<p>Yankees: I don’t remember the quote, but that’s what I put and I was pretty confident.</p>

<p>Dfree: I put New England abolitionists as well, since expanding territories might cause expansion of slavery as well. And I figured Southern slaveholders would like that. And the fact that in general, expansion was supported by Democrats, and New Englanders were mostly Whigs.</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know the answer to which Native American tribe helped the British or whatever? I put Seminoles, but I have a feeling I should have just skipped that question.</p>

<p>Also x2, I think the question with Portugal vs Spain is Portugal. Since the question was asking about systemized voyages which Portugal developed through Henry the Navigator.</p>

<p>Wait I’ve taken four of these tests and am pretty much done and I never throught of doing that
how idiotic</p>

<p>I guessed NE abolitionist but thought it could have been either one.</p>

<p>Just putting this out there even though it’s probably wrong: weren’t people from the Netherlands the first to reach America? Could be wrong, just want another opinion on this.</p>

<p>Did lost gen go to Europe?</p>

<p>@CalvinTBOD Apparently the answer is Iroquois for the Native Americans one. If that’s true then I got it wrong :/</p>

<p>I think the key word with that question was “systemized,” so I’m still leaving my vote on Portugal. :P</p>

<p>Swagger: Yes, the Lost Generation went to Europe.</p>

<p>Yankees: Aw man, haha. I figured Seminoles because of the Seminole Wars and whatnot.</p>

<p>I put the last question was a populist with the quote, hope thats right! I also put Abolitionist for The manifest destiny one. What was the answer to like #4, it was about what happened to indians in 1830s or something like that</p>

<p>Lost gen had something to do with WWI… I think</p>

<p>Which was a mandate for war… Tonkin Resolution or UN thing for korean war?</p>

<p>I put NE Abolitionist, wasn’t certain though. Didn’t the southerners want the US to takeover Cuba/Nicaragua in order for there to be more slavery?</p>

<p>Lost Generation: I think the answer was that they went to Europe after being disillusioned with World War I.</p>

<p>ARobins: Tonkins Resolution. It gave LBJ full power to wage war with Vietcong.</p>

<p>ARovins - Tonkin</p>

<p>Here’s something about the lost generation:</p>

<p>Group of U.S. writers who came of age during World War I and established their reputations in the 1920s; more broadly, the entire postWorld War I American generation. The term was coined by Gertrude Stein in a remark to Ernest Hemingway. The writers considered themselves lost because their inherited values could not operate in the postwar world and they felt spiritually alienated from a country they considered hopelessly provincial and emotionally barren. The term embraces Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, E.E. Cummings, Archibald MacLeish, and Hart Crane, among others.</p>

<p>Lost Gen answer’s key word was authors- don’t remember if the answer had to do with Europe, though.</p>

<p>Quote was indeed populist.</p>

<p>Tokin Resolution</p>

<p>Lost gen was definitely writers like Hemingway who went to Europe after WWI… Was the southern slaveholder or NE abolitionist against manifest destiny?</p>

<p>What was the one about the difference between the British in Virginia/Massachusetts and the Spanish in Peru/Mexico</p>

<p>Oh yeah, that question. Someone here said the answer was Massachusetts Bay, but I’m pretty sure the English settled in Virginia first.</p>

<p>And as for a reason that didn’t support why the Spanish colonized America, I put that they wanted to dominate Europe. But honestly, that question had literally nothing to do with US History.</p>

<p>Spain was loking for precious metals?</p>
