<p>ooohh, that might've been the same question as above, in which case that was the answer I picked.</p>
<p>hmm any other questions anybody remember?</p>
<p>i think that one was, "What was a characteristic of the antebellum South?" </p>
<p>I the answer was that there were more poor small farmers than rich plantation owners.</p>
<p>“The life of law has not been logic; it has been experience” reflected views of: Idealists, Marxists, Pragmatists, Transcendentalists and another one-word answer I cannot remember</p>
<p>I had absolutely no idea when I saw this on the test. I looked up the quote later and found that Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. the Supreme Court Justice said this in a book of his... now the problem is what category does he fall under? Right now the most reasonable one is Pragmatist.</p>
<p>++ unanswered promblems: dollar diplomacy, steamboat question, Sears catalog question</p>
<p>what i answered:
sears catalog: ddint' decrease department store usage/popularity
dollar diplomacy: something about taft
steamboat: lowered steamboat prices</p>
<p>dollar diplomacy = basically funneling money into foreign countries as a way to make diplomatic relations eg: Panama Canal.
sears catalogue = I said what chris said. That's why macy's and sears has been around for ages and ages. If the catalogue had really decreased it, then they would have been long gone.</p>
<p>to chris</p>
<p>there was no steamboat asnwer that said lowered steamboat prices it was railroad prices</p>
<p>oh lol, sorry maybe i was thinking about another question.. any idea what the given answers were for that question?</p>
<p>I put something about Nicaragua for dollar diplomacy. Im pretty sure thats right because it occurred mostly in Latin America. Wikipedia mentions both the Panama Canal and Nicaragua but only mentions the panama canal in relation to protecting it not building it.</p>
<p>"Taft continued and expanded the policy, starting in Central America, where he justified it as a means of protecting the Panama Canal. In 1909, he attempted unsuccessfully to establish control over Honduras by buying up its debt to British bankers. Dollar Diplomacy was not always peaceful. In Nicaragua, U.S. "intervention involved participating in the overthrow of one government and the military support" of another. When a revolt broke out in Nicaragua in 1912, the Taft administration quickly sided with the insurgents (who had been instigated by U.S. mining interests) and sent U.S. troops into the country to seize the customs houses. As soon as the U.S. consolidated control over the country, Knox encouraged U.S. bankers to move into the country and offer substantial loans to the new regime, thus increasing U.S. financial leverage over the country. Within two years, however, the new pro-U.S. regime faced a revolt of its own; and, once again, the administration landed U.S. troops in Nicaragua, this time to protect the tottering, corrupt U.S. regime. U.S. troops remained there for over a decade.</p>
<p>Another dangerous new trouble spot was the revolution-riddled Caribbeannow largely dominated by U.S. interests. Hoping to head off trouble, Washington urged U.S. bankers to pump dollars into the financial vacuum in Honduras and Haiti to keep out foreign funds. The United States would not permit foreign nations to intervene, and consequently felt obligated to prevent economic and political instability. The State Department persuaded four U.S. banks to refinance Haiti's national debt, setting the stage for further intervention in the future."</p>
<p>For the dollar diplomacy question, I put down the answer that had something to do with funding /paying another country's debts (Nicaragua? forgot the exact name).
Steamboat answers include: decreased canal usage, stop in railroad construction, drop in steamboat fares I believe.</p>
<p>I put decrease in steamboat fares. Seemed like a stupid answer but its not like it halted the railroad industry.</p>
<p>damn i cant believe i got that poem q wrong.. i interpreted as a religious hymn</p>
<p>does anybody know the answer to how the roanoke colony affected colonization? some of the answers were: stopped cologization for a century, led to use of joint stock ventures</p>
<p>what was the answer to that poem?</p>
<p>For the poem one I put something about missionaries. I don't know if it is right or not but I remember thinking that it sounded almost like it had to do with Americans going out and helping other people in other parts of the world. I wish I remembered enough of it though so I could look it up now...</p>
