Im re-reading all of cc tonight and especially paying attention to the key themes and facts.</p>
Well I was definitely late with my post…</p>
Social Gospel rose to prominence during the 1880’s and onward. It was basically calling the churches to attack the burning social issues.</p>
Social Gospel is somewhat late Gilded Age (thinking settlement houses here), but primarily Progressive Era. Christian approach at aiding society’s problems. Think Christian ethics kind of things: temperance, poor living conditions in cities, poverty, etc.</p>
People keep throwing around 70% on MC and 5,5,5 or 6,6,6 on the written section as the minimum for a 5. I’ve even seen a few people throw out 55/80 and 5,5,5. While I would love this to be true, I highly doubt the curve is that low. I know the calculator says that, but remember that it uses ranges established before the new rules on guessing. It probably won’t change it too much, but I would rather be cautious and say you should generally aim for, at minimum, 75% and 6,6,6.</p>
@Staryulover</p>
Both doctrines/beliefs/concepts/ideas were popular in the late 1800s (Gilded Age?).
Social Gospel is the belief that Christian values could be used to solve social problems (esp. poverty).</p>
“Gospel of Wealth” was an essay by Andrew Carnegie that included idea that wealth must be shared to the benefit of others (again, associated with poor people).</p>
What trips students most is the “gospel” part.</p>
Haha…just do good on the MC and sort of decent on the DBQ guys. It’s not that hard. Cramming’s not going to help too much. You know it or you don’t. Just chill.</p>
Anyone with DH should probably brush up on Ch’s 27-31. Likely that something within these chapters will be a topic of a FRQ or DBQ. </p>
Gilded Age is 27-30, American Imperialism is 31</p>
by crash crouse you guys are reffering to the REA one by larry krieger?</p>
62/80 on the MC 2006 one. That hopefully will get me a 5!</p>
can you please PM me the answer key for the 2001 exam too?? thanks so much</p>
@Wittlefelluh Yes.</p>
Also, what elections should we know?</p>
What were the trends in women’s rights? Are these right? Can anyone add to this:</p>
Colonial Times: Once married all rights transfered to husband
Start of Country: Women could vote in some states
Few years later: All states decide women can’t vote</p>
1848: Seneca Falls</p>
1920: 19th amendment</p>
WWII: More rights b/c homefront
Post-WWII: Rights decline?<==not sure about this one</p>
Keep in mind this year marks the 150th anniversary of the Cold War-- perhaps College Board wants to celebrate with an essay question?</p>
Not quite, I3auer :P</p>
Anyway – perhaps Collegeboard would consider the Civil War to be the expected topic? Also didn’t they do a DBQ on that not long ago?</p>
I’m totally screwed for this test… Care to enlighten me from 1940-1970?
I didn’t study up on recent history… I focused primarily on pre-Gilded Age. I’m ok with Roaring 20’s and WWI, WWII. Also, I’m getting confused between all the plans. Can someone help list out which president did which plan which did what?
i.e. Theodore Roosevelt and Square Deal: …</p>
u mean civil war right?</p>
Elections? Here’s some notable ones:
1800 (Revolution of 1800, Federalists decline)
1824 (corrupt bargain)
1828 (Dem-Reps split, rise of Whigs)
1860 (Republicans emerge, Union splits)
1896 (Free Silver)
1932 (FDR, New Deal coalition, rise of Democrats/current party system)</p>
Edit: I suppose you could add a bunch more on there as well, including 1912 (Bull Moose), 1960 (JFK defeats Nixon - importance of media), and 1980 (Moral Majority, Reagan/Republican Revolution)</p>
sooo are people using Doc A, B, etc or titles?!!?</p>
