October 2010 US History

<p>thats what i put for border states</p>

<p>what about the signs for the great depression (1929): was it farmer prices dwindling or inflation?</p>

<p>The precursor to the Great Depression was dwindling farm prices. While the cost of farming equipment rose, the farm income dropped considerably during the twenties.</p>

<p>Alright just confirming my answer, thank you ^</p>

<p>for battle of gettysberg, what did the confederates do? cross the mason-dixon? i dont remember</p>

<p>^ they got into Pennsylvania. what about “why were early textile factories located in the northeast”
is it EXCEPT the Embargo Act or well-developed railroads…I don’t think there were “well-developed” railroads then…</p>

<p>Embargo Act was something about halting trade with France/England due to Napoleon breaking a pledge or something… I chose that answer.</p>

<p>^ it was definitely railroads, early 1800s had no railroads
and i dont think there was an option for pennsylvania, and they did cross mason-dixon according to wiki.</p>

<p>wut about the one: FDR did all the following to Japan in 1939 and 1941 except…</p>

<p>what did you guys think about the test in general. i can’t say much since this was my first time taking it and im senior, shame on me i know. I thought it wasn’t too bad compared to sparknotes practice tests, about the same. There was definitely some info on the real one though that was not even talked about on sparknotes. GL to all you guys!</p>

<p>" it was definitely railroads, early 1800s had no railroads"</p>

<p>yeah, that was what I thought. They had canals and the Mississippi but no “well-developed” railraods</p>

<p>FDR did all the following to Japan in 1939 and 1941 except… except saction the Japanese invasion of China…or something like that</p>

<p>what about “who led the american anti-slavery society” middleclass city people?</p>

<p>I said religious middle class. Upper classmen wouldn’t want that because it would affect business. I think the answer tries to trick you into thinking it’s black people, but they wouldn’t really be the leaders of the abolition movement in my opinion.</p>

<p>Some other answers I can think of:</p>

<p>Cherokees were different because they went to court.
Works Progress Administration was an answer I think for a question concerning the Depression.
I concur with the railroad answer.
Georgia was a buffer.
There was a quote about Great Society, so that was Truman.
Which did not help women’s rights in the 60s: Passage of Equal Rights Act (Did not actually pass)
There was a question about what happened under the Progressive Movement and I believe the answer was rights for women.
Saratoga was to help convince French to support US in Revolution
Join or Die was to unite colonies.
There was one picture with like Greenback Party and all that stuff and I think I said that Populists drew support from many different areas or something along those lines? Can anyone confirm?
There was one quote at the end by a woman saying to not asked to be judged differently, but be allowed to stand on the same ground…Don’t remember the answer.
One answer was hamilton to assuming debt.
Transcendentalists encourage finding like peace with nature and yourself or some zen bs.
Was Shame of the Cities a question? Or was that just from my practice?
Military desegregated after 1945.
I think there was a question about Gulf of Tonkin or bombing Cambodia or something. Anyone remember?
Nullification-states believe that they can not listen to laws they don’t agree with.
Pontiac’s Rebelliion.
Was Pennsylvania founded by people looking for religious freedom, or was it known for it’s religious acceptance? I said the latter because Penn got a charter.
Border states I said generally were beneficial for the north. The other answers didn’t seem to match. They didn’t all border Mississippi, and they did not surround the capital of the confederacy.
john winthrop was answer for city upon a hill
Great Awakening was answer to the quote about people attending sermons.
Southern States more likely to favor war.
Some easy graph questions. </p>

<p>People care to add?</p>

<p>Actually, the Great Society was under Johnson, not Truman. Other then that…your answers are right.</p>

<p>The answer to the Populist Party cartoon was something along the lines of many fractioned parties under one name. </p>

<p>The Kent State protests were the result of the American invasion of Cambodia. </p>

<p>Silent Spring dealt with the chemical (pesticide) usage in Vietnam. </p>

<p>The Taft-Hartley Act limited the power of labor unions.</p>

<p>The Federalist Papers helped ratify the constitution. </p>

<p>Horatio Algers helped popularize heroes. </p>

<p>Booker T. Washington was in favor of education and peaceful integration into white society.</p>

<p>Yeah, I meant Johnson, sorry.</p>

<p>Think I put something different for Alger, something like “unrealistic goals or circumstances” but I’m not sure. </p>

<p>The rest of my answers seem on par. </p>

<p>I’m p issed at my self. I guessed on the political patronage one and the 1913 Armory show. I had no clue, but I though I could narrow it down. Looked them up after I got home and got obth wrong. Both were kind of a shot in the dark, should not have guessed.</p>

<p>Oh well still think I did very well.</p>

<p>wasn’t alger the one about the self-made man?</p>

<p>Yes, thats what I might have picked. Pretty sure I didn’t pick the heroes one</p>

<p>ok, just confirming. noo i still think i did horribly overall :(</p>

<p>Horatio Alger was rags to riches. American dream. Something like that.</p>

<p>and i dont remember the silent spring question for some reason</p>

<p>So was it wrong to say Booker Washington believed you should get a hold of finances before tackling political events?</p>

<p>@kobudnik, no i think you’re right.</p>
