Official June SAT II US History Thread

<p>I didn't see a thread on this one. So without further ado, let's get the party started!</p>

<p>i didnt think it was that bad- hopefully i get a 750 +</p>

<p>I thought that it was medium-hard. A lot of the questions were a piece of cake. But then there were certain questions that stumped me. What was the answer to the last question?</p>

<p>I thought it was the one in the 1960s... but I wasn't sure. What leader was correctly matched with what they led? Was it Gompers and the AFL?</p>

<p>I thought most of the questions were easy but a few were really hard.</p>

<p>for the MLK i got Thorou
the enviroment one i got Silent Spring
and the last question was 1963 right?</p>

<p>I think the last question was th earliest possible date given because it described the KKK during the redemption period, not the 1920s nativist revival</p>

<p>How did you know it was Thorou and why was the last one 1963?</p>

<p>Enviornment was Silent Spring.</p>

<p>i originally picked the earliest possible date for that one, but b/c it mentioned CORE and CORE wasn't around until the 60s i think 1963 was the correct choice.</p>

<p>i think there was something about core, which was part of kennedy's program. so i think it was d, 1960s.</p>

<p>1963 because of CORE, that was kennedy (i think), i think thorou is wrong because he was a lot like another author on the list. i picked cooper or whitman, i cant remember</p>

<p>Last question: Because CORE was founded in 1942.</p>

<p>it is thoreau b/c he talked about non-conformity. i'm 95% sure.</p>

<p>what about the purpose of sugar act?</p>

<p>i i dont think we can discuss these yet</p>

<p>Cooper? Didn't he write about the fronteir or the Last of the Mohecans? Someone told me it was Whitman because he wrote about non-violence, but I'm not sure.</p>

<p>i didnt know that one either</p>

<p>Henry David Thoreau- most famous work, Walden, or Life in the Woods was published in 1854, and eventually made his reputation as a supreme individualist, naturalist, conservationist, pacifist and proponent of Transcendentalism, the spiritual philosophy developed and espoused by Emerson and his circle.</p>

<p>Thoreau's pacifist writings inspired Gandhi, and his writings on nature and life apart from society have inspired generations of conservationists, ecologists and lovers of the outdoors.</p>

<p>The last one was definitely 1963. </p>

<p>I thought the test was pretty easy, but I was definitely confused on a few of the questions. </p>

<p>What was that one about the something trail (can't remember the name, it began with a "g")? I put cattle because it seemed logical, but I really didn't know.</p>

<p>Also, the one with the map of WWI Europe- what was the answer? I suuuuck at geography and I spent the longest time trying to figure out what countries were even labeled! I chose C, which I think was 3, 5, 7, 8...or something like that.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, and the one about the great awakening- what the new lights believed in...was it emotional approach to religion or no predestination?</p>

<p>i eliminated thorou and emerson because they were so much alike, i think i put whitman</p>

<p>No predestination and cattle.</p>
