October 2009 SAT II - US History

<p>brigham young is associated with Mormons which is associated with having many wives which would probably mean taht feminists would not agree with his views.</p>

<p>income tax is a progressive tax</p>

<p>lincoln had the northeast and california</p>

<p>margaret sanger was arrested during anthony comstock’s reign for distributing contraceptives, and she was a major supporter of birth control</p>

<p>victory gardens were WWII when people had “meatless mondays” and such and were encouraged to plant their own gardens and grow their own food, so it was 1940s</p>

<p>wilson definitely did not support federal integration of minorities and such, because he was a racist…with a big ‘R’…he liked the Birth of a Nation. japanese were barred big time after what happened with pearl harbor, so the FDR option was true—japanese itnernment camps</p>

<p>britian supported mercantilism, so it passed the navigation acts, so trade was definitely what affected the colonies the most.</p>

<p>yeah, this is not the season to take the SAT History subject test…if it were june, then this thread would be sooo much longer</p>

<p>i thought the answer for progressive tax had temperance or something.
also, it waas theodore roosevelt for japanese thing…i think</p>

<p>K couple of questions:</p>

<ol>
<li>For the question about the Great Awakening…did anyone get an answer about it being a movement that took place in nearly all the colonies</li>
<li>There was a map with shaded in regions…I am confident it was showing regions of grain production…but tht was kinda obscure so maybe I am wrong</li>
</ol>

<p>Elasticity-</p>

<p>I put that and I hope your right, but I would be shooked if you were. Wilson was a complete racist…I spaced out the Birth of Nation and that stuff during the test…there is no way he sponsored a program to integrate federal jobs</p>

<p>Another question to add:</p>

<p>Was the answer to the question that asked “Which of the following was not a reason the puritans migrated to the US?” that we had already established stable settlements in 1628 in the Bay Colony. I put that because the colony was just established in 1628 and all the other answers made sense.</p>

<p>for great awakening, i put some evangelical thing or something similar to that, but the great awakening only occurred in New england</p>

<p>I think it involved all the colonies…this is wat my kaplan prep book says:</p>

<p>The Great Awakening was a significant movement in colonial history because it involved all areas of the American colonies, the first movement to do so.</p>

<p>^I put the estanblished settlements one for the puritans too.</p>

<p>I got evangelical movements for great awakening…its the traveling preachers.</p>

<p>what was the one about senator mccarthy?
was the televised interrogations that made him unpopular? thats what i put.</p>

<p>Can anyone remember the answer to the question about the artistic wave or something equivalent at Hudson River School?</p>

<p>yeah that one was landscapes.</p>

<p>I think you are right. After his army hearings the public did not support him as before. .</p>

<p>progressive tax is graduated income…wasn’t the japenese resitrction option for the president/minority question that THEODORE ROOSEVELT barred japanese immigration…and i dont think thats true. i know that FDR did, but not teddy.</p>

<p>What about the question which involved women rights groups? I put forming blocs</p>

<p>maybe i read it wrong though.</p>

<p>i put moral obligation of women to improve society</p>

<p>For the president/minortity one I put Wilson. He did not favor desegregation laws.</p>

<p>Any new opinions on the marching picture?</p>

<p>The Great Awakening was a revival movement meant to purify religion from material distractions and renew one’s personal faith in God. The movement was a reaction against the waning of religion and the spread of skepticism during the Enlightenment of the 1700s.</p>

<p>That is from sparknotes…I think the answer to the great awakening one is that it was a response to enlightenment ideas.</p>

<p>I wonder the answer choices included enlightenment ideas…They surely had “response to evangelical ideas”, but…</p>
