<p>nvm it was soviet union</p>
<p>Are all the answers that i posted up correct?
and
Did anyone else put Northeast (New England) for the German New immigrants question? or is is midwest…?</p>
<p>Reviving this thread because I’m not sure whether I failed it or aced it, and it’s driving me crazy:
@yolokid123 (this name omg why) - For the question about independent Native American developments, I put fur trading because I figured that maize and everything else was either more Mesoamerican, or after colonists arrived. I suppose I’m wrong though, judging from everyone else’s input.
It was Iroquois Confederacy for the second question though, because the Five Civilized Tribes were just a name that colonists used for the tribes willing to have relatively peaceful relations with them.
I guessed Midwest for the German immigrants, since German immigrants seem to have been concentrated in the Upper Midwest agricultural regions. </p>
<p>@thewooman114 - I put the most definitive “US achieved objectives” one, because I believe the personification of Greece was serving Stalin a crow, and you know, the term “to eat crow” sort of implies having to quit a strong, at least intellectual, position.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember anything more specific about the question with the quote about having Congress amend the Constitution and raise funds for gaining territory or something? I think some answers to the question were
-Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase
-Henry Clay
-Andrew Jackson
-George Washington
-the Oregon Territory (not sure if associated someone else or an aforementioned person).
I eliminated Jefferson, Jackson and Washington, on the basis that both Jackson and the Louisiana Purchase’s circumstances weren’t at all something that those presidents would have been petitioning Congress about, and the fact that the style of the quote didn’t quite have that sort of florid writing that I tend to associate with Washington/etc.'s era.</p>
<p>@awkbird
It couldn’t have been the Oregon territory because that was during the presidency of James K. Polk. Polk was an expansionist and therefore would not have any problems with obtaining the Oregon Territory. His actions were actually unpopular because they didn’t get the entire territory.</p>
<p>You can take out Washington, Clay and Jackson. Clay opposed expansionary policies (such as Texas) and there were no major territorial disputes during the Jackson or Washington era.</p>
<p>Therefore from elimination you have to choose Jefferson. It’s a well known fact that Jefferson had major issues with taking the Louisiana Territory, since he was a strict constructionalist himself and thought that this was in violation of the constitution. Therefore, petitioning Congress to amend the Constitution is a natural response in order to reconcile obtaining territory and obeying the constitution at the same time.</p>
<p>I thought that Jefferson could only privately suggest that the Louisiana Purchase was unconstitutional? I’m drawing on my knowledge of APUSH, and from what I recall of my textbook, I got the impression that Jefferson expressed his sentiments about the Louisiana Purchase privately but avoided mentioning them to Congress, having quite rightly assumed that the Purchase would get approved.</p>
<p>Please correct me if I’m wrong (exam was so long ago), but from what I remembered the quote was a private sentiment, not a public one. So it would fit your description of Jefferson having private doubts about the purchase.</p>
<p>Besides, you can always eliminate the answers that were blatantly wrong, as I did.</p>
<p>I can’t remember if there was a defined context on the question, but you’re probably right; it would make sense then. Thanks! :)</p>
<p>Hey guys looking over the answers for my preparation, I have the impression that the US Test is crazy hard. Anyone want to liven up my spirt by posting their scores. Thanks and What book do you guys recommend</p>
