<p>deux.ex.machina's talking about the question about changes in the South in the late nineteenth century... Federal troops removed, black disenfranchisement, black land ownership... like that.</p>
<p>I think that chart is accurate... but I can't be entirely sure. All I know is that I used sparknotes to study for chemistry, and while I got around 690 on those practice tests cosistantly, I got a 770 on the real test... and coming out of that test, I was almost positive I was going to bomb the test, so much so that I considered canceling. :O</p>
<p>So it might be accurate, or they might have purposely made the curve harder to make us kids work harder. ;D</p>
<p>If I remember that question correctly, it was stated like this:</p>
<p>Which of the following DID NOT take place in the South during the last quarter of the 19th century?</p>
<p>I thought the key to answering this question was "the last quarter" part, which makes the time frame 1875-1900. Thus, reconstruction has (just?) ended, and I somehow doubt that blacks made any significant land ownership gains after the radical republicans lost power. And... black disenfranchisement did continue to take place during this period. Only part I wasn't sure on was... when were the federal troops removed? Pre-75 or Post-75? That's what had me stuck, until I just picked "land gains" and moved on.</p>
<p>It was gold. The Virginia company was originially established to find gold. But they didn't find any. The colony was almost going to die out until John Smith implemented the work for food system and they figured out how to cultivate tobacco.</p>
<p>in fact they were so obsessed with gold they brought no farmers, planning to trade with the indians, but when it became clear that wouldn't sustain them, john smith cracked the whip and carried them through some horrible winters</p>
<p>Oh man, now that you mention gold... I remember it vaguely... hmm... Okay, now I remember.</p>
<p>Those were two different questions. The one 20/20 is talking about is about "Why did the Virgina Company colonize" or something like that. That answer to the this one is "to look for gold." </p>
<p>The next other question asked why did the Cheasepeake region's population grow rapidly after (some random date)?
The answer to this one is tobacco.</p>
<p>The countries for the WWI question were Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. It helped that I happened to be sitting right next to a map of World War I Europe. :)</p>
<p>i personally thought it was a breeze. My AP US teacher rocks! We even did like a whole class once on the Wizard of Oz! HAHA and we thought all that stuff was worthless...</p>
<p>deus and dreflet
I put land ownership - that definately didn't increase
selective disenfranchisement did increase because of what deus said above</p>
<p>I think Panama is right as well</p>
<p>What did you get for the wizard of oz Q?
Which was the beat generation book?</p>
<p>Yes, what were the answers to Oz, Beat generation, the two "armies" of 1894 and 1936?</p>
<p>I remember putting something about economic strife for the two armies because 1936 is during the great depression and 1894... wasn't there a panic around that time? :O</p>
