November 2008 SAT Subject Test: US History

<p>ah, what about the one with the three sources (tehran conferance, some papers, and something else) and it was like: what topic would someone use all three of these sources to study? and what was the thing in teh vietnam war that extended johnson's power? and what was that thing that wilson wanted to get at the conferance (league of nations?!)?</p>

<p>Polygamy, yes, but you have it backwards, sparkinthedark. Joseph Smith started the faith in the East, but was killed in Illinois; the persecuted Mormons were led by Brigham Young to what is now Utah, thus Brigham Young University (BYU).</p>

<p>I think you're thinking of Seward.</p>

<p>Northwest Ordinance!! That was what I was thinking...dang it.</p>

<p>What I put:
US Diplomacy
Gulf of Tonkin resolution
League of Nations</p>

<p>Best example of dollar diplomacy? And the FDR cartoon? Was it the court-packing answer?</p>

<p>agreed. i put all three too. i said soemthing about taft, court packing (trying to get senate/court/w/e to pass laws easily)</p>

<p>Yeah, I said those same two exact things. lol</p>

<p>ahhhh I have some I'm unsure of:
What did the Constitution say about slavery?
The poster/catalog picture = ?
Popularity of baseball from 1900 - Great Depression due to?
+ The question about steamboats.</p>

<p>For the LBJ question, the answer is Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.</p>

<p>i put baseball "many ppl moved to suburbs" but i was not sure. Gulf of Tonkin is right and dang.. looks like i got that Mormon question wrong...</p>

<p>i said that they (consitiution) indirectly acknowledged it cuz of the slave trade compromise, for the poster: there was no decline in departmental stores, popularity came from telivisions (i said that, could be wrong tho), steamboat prices went down </p>

<p>(i could be wrong on all of those lol, but thats what i put)</p>

<p>what was the enlightement question? what was similar between native americans and colonists? what was imperitive for the americans to win the revolutionary war (france?)? who were the first like laborers (indentured servants or slaves?)? what crop was grown in tthe south (wheat, rice, corn, or sugar cane)?</p>

<p>oh good, that's what I put down too. I was deciding between that or TV, but TV wasn't invented yet (right? RIGHT?).</p>

<p>lol Television</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Commercially available since the late 1930s" so i guess not?</p>

<p>Some questions I am not sure of :</p>

<ol>
<li>New Harmony, Farm..and some women,,,known for what?
I wrote feminism...</li>
</ol>

<p>2.What does the constitution say about the slavery?
I wrote it avoided the problem...</p>

<ol>
<li><p>What about the picture of Paul Revere?
I wrote the condescending attitude..</p></li>
<li><p>what did Hamilton and Jefferson agree?</p></li>
<li><p>what was similar between native americans and New Englanders?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Whew. :) That's good to know.</p>

<ol>
<li>dunno what that is... but if that was the question with Gloria Steinem, then it's women's rights</li>
<li>Pretty sure it's condescending attitude.</li>
<li>I put down keeping Britain an ally.</li>
<li>I said village communities.</li>
</ol>

<p>hmm for 6. i said like perceptions on land property... cuz n.a. didn't have individual ownership</p>

<p>and does anyboyd know the answers to my questions?</p>

<p>what was the enlightement question? what was similar between native americans and colonists? what was imperitive for the americans to win the revolutionary war (france?)? who were the first like laborers (indentured servants or slaves?)? what crop was grown in tthe south (wheat, rice, corn, or sugar cane)?</p>

<p>Yeah, so that'd be the wrong answer, wouldn't it? The question's asking for what's similar.</p>

<p>What's the Enlightenment question about? I don't remember it.
France was key.
I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. ohmans. I eventually decided on indentured servants but still.... aghhh.
Rice was the crop.</p>

<p>frick i said sugar.. haha. yea i chose indentrued servants cuz that came first. do you remember the original quesiton? </p>

<p>what was the book that offered critiuqe towards teh middle class?</p>

<p>oh yea, was prhibition the only amendment to be repealed?</p>

<p>**** i put corn</p>

<p>The original question was something like "Virginia's growth of plantations before 1650 was due to: ________." My rationale for indentured servants was that Virginia had used the headright system to acquire more labor for their plantations... and Bacon's Rebellion turned the South towards slavery because indentured servants were rebelling.
I dunno if it was the only amendment repealed, but I remember prohibition was an answer.</p>

<p>oops i found the answer to my question (i think): sinclair lewis's novels (main street) offered critique of the middle class</p>
