Official June SAT II US History Thread

<p>Well I figured both of them fought for economic rather than political (not sure though) so I eliminated that one.</p>

<p>I do remember that one of the groups (either AFL or Knights) did not let unskilled laborers into the group, but I couldn't remember if it was the AFL or Knights, which ****ed me off because I had it memorized a few days go. But because I couldn't eliminate this one, another one (which I forgot...) had me guessing on a 50/50 whim during the last seconds of the test.</p>

<p>tealio, yes- go vegan SATII takers! we rock :)</p>

<p>can anyq tell me the actual question for this congregationalist one i cant remember it</p>

<p>Knights definitely had both skilled and unskilled. I think they were more politically focused than AFL, which was more econ focused.</p>

<p>But didn't the Knights of labor have the haymarket riots or something which lead to their downfall? (which was a strike)?</p>

<p>Why were the New England Puritans and other churches (not exact phrasing) refered to as Congregationalists?</p>

<p>i cant remeber that question at all....im scared that i skipped it</p>

<p>Did anybody have trouble finishing the test?</p>

<p>ughi put the economic/political one...as justification i also knew that another reason the AFL had more success than the Kknights was becasue they had less demands...</p>

<p>basically only like the 8 hour workday while the Knights of labor fought for like woman and children and stuff</p>

<p>sjmom - No. It took me and about everyone else in my room 25-45 mins.</p>

<p>Also, what was the phenomenon it was talking about in 1975-1985 in terms of demographics?</p>

<p>OH also the reason the Knights wre more political....they were associated with Anarchists after the haymarket bombing</p>

<p>im soo scared that i skipped this congregationalist question what were some of the choices</p>

<p>1975-1985: Sunbelt.</p>

<p>yeah, the AFL fought for the more basic and easily winnable goals of unions, like shorter days and better wages. so i put the economic one. </p>

<p>klogon- i had noooo idea on that one about why puritans were called congregationalists, but I never skip questions (not very smart, i know), and I think I put something about the church making decisions within the congregation, not from bishops.</p>

<p>Yeah, anybody know the demographics and congregationalist problems with 100% certainty?</p>

<p>And vegangirl, that is exactly what I put but I'm not positive.</p>

<p>how many can you get wrong and still get like above a 740</p>

<p>And the sit-in in 1960--at first i thought youth activism, but in 1960 wasn't there a sit-in organized by the AFL-CIO?...and didn't student activism become prevalent in the late 1960s, 70s</p>

<p>Uhh, I'm pretty sure college students were very active during the 1960's.</p>

<p>yeah it was student activism...</p>
