<p>I know this is a bit too early, but since we have one for AP Calc, we should have one for APUSH as well!!</p>
<p>Post resources, guides, everything...even questions. People who have taken the test before can also post tips, tricks, and/or answer questions.</p>
<p>I got a 5 last year. Study the Cold War er a lot…it’s all over the AP</p>
<p>Yeah. Concentrate on Antebellum era stuff also</p>
<p>Also got a 5 :D</p>

<p>Let’s start with a lovely little analysis question. What were the main causes American industrialism? I’m looking for specific events / acts as well as general trends.</p>
<p>Samuel Slater immigrated to America and replicated the British textile machinery, thus spurring the factory system. Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, encouraging the cotton economy and industrialization.</p>
<p>War of 1812 - Because British blockaded American trade, Americans had to rely on its factories to produce necessary goods and armaments. </p>
<p>specialization - The North specializes in industrialization, the West specializes in producing meats and grains, and the South specializes in one-crop economy. </p>
<p>immigration - immigrants were the main source of industrial labor. Irish usually work in the cities. Germans moved to the west, supplying food to the East.</p>
<p>that is all i got. I should start reviewing (plus im on the block schedule so I don’t have APUSH this term)</p>
<p>Great answer, Jerry. If I could add in anything else, I would probably mention Jefferson’s Embargo Act of 1807 and Non-Intercourse Act of 1809. Both of these encouraged industrialism, for they blockaded British and French trade.</p>
<p>The Embargo Act spurred domestic manufacturing, and the creation and expansion of dams and railways improved transportation and encouraged specialization.</p>
<p>Then the Protective Tariff of 1816 was passed, along with the chartering of the 2nd B.U.S. (ironic b/c James Madison did not support the 1st B.U.S. - his opinions changed after the war)</p>
<p>Also, Francis Cabot Lowell introduced the industry of textiles in the Lowell/Matham system.</p>
<p>Well, I would submit that Marshall’s decisions did more to nationalize commerce and expand upon the elastic clause than it did to encourage industrialism.</p>
<p>Nailed this exam earlier this year with a 4. Know your social stuff well, just like you would for Euro. Knowing your time periods also helps a lot.</p>
<p>Oh, those answers of yours remind me of Henry Clay’s American System: protective tariffs, a strong banking system, and efficient transportation system.</p>
<p>Definitely use AMSCO study book, even throughout the year while you’re taking the course. Also, for DBQs the AP really likes to ask questions about the progression of rights of certain minority groups throughout American history, such as African Americans, or Women.</p>

<p>how do get the answers to the essays and analysing document section for the amsco us history book</p>
<p>I took the test last year and got a 3. Good luck guys I wish I would’ve studied more but oh well. If any of you guys want a decent textbook I have the American Paegent 10th edition. You can have it for free if you pay shipping.</p>
<p>Adam</p>
<p>anyone have a used AMSCO book they’re willing to donate? :p</p>
<p>I checked Amazon’s price tag and it smells like a ripoff</p>
<p>How is everyone doing preparing for the APUSH exam? </p>
<p>For me, I will have APUSH class again when I come back to school since it will be a new term. That term - finish the last 12 chapters of american pageant and focus on essay writing.</p>
<p>How did you get a 3, Adam? What happened?</p>
<p>Thanks jerrry4445 for bumping this thread!</p>
<p>I’m not too sure whether I want to take APUSH because I’ll have to self-study it. Maybe I’ll just take the SAT 2 US History instead.</p>
