<p>is it Don Quixote, huck finn or uncle toms cabin! was Don Quixote even a choice?</p>
<p>Don Quixote wasn't a choice- plus, it wasn't an American book (I think it was a Spanish one?). It was during the 1500s (correct me if I'm wrong) Renaissance. Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best selling book in the 19th century, right under the Bible.</p>
<p>I just remember Uncle Tom's Cabin being a choice. You have to take into consideration how many people read it and the affect it had on people. UTC was about slavery during a time of abolition and was read everywhere. My SAT II specifically mentions the amount of copies sold, but doesn't rank it in terms of 2nd or 3rd. I figured that to mention that big a number, it must've been a very popular book, certainly more than Huck Finn. Plus I vaguely remember my history teacher telling us it was the most sold book for the time or sumthin like that. I am 95% sure though that thats the answer just based on the popularity of the book.</p>
<p>Is all of this info covered in REA'S U.S. History book?</p>
<p>I have the Kaplan book and I brushed over the glossary of Spark Notes. I felt both helped me quite a bit since I barely ever paid attention in class anyway. They help a lot.</p>
<p>hmm what about that question about Danger of standing armies, representation by population, and something else: answer: loyalism, federalism, Friedism, something something</p>
<p>Uncle Tom's Cabin was the most widely sold book. I read this in REA's AP US History book.</p>
<p>the answer was republicanism i think</p>
<p>yeah i believe that answer was Republicanism</p>
<p>also, i think the party that came to national prominence after the kansas-nebraska act was Republican party. "At that time the crucial issue of the extension of slavery into the territories split the Democratic party and the Whig party, and opponents of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 organized the new Republican party." --off of wikipedia. The act split up the know-nothing party, i think. And it wasn't whigs, who were there before and were disappearing already by that time.</p>
<p>Oh, and that ashcan school of art? I'm pretty sure its the answer with "tenements" in it, and not new deal. Why does everyone think its new deal? if you look it up, all the dates are before the new deal, and it says it was all about depictions of ordinary life, and such.</p>
<p>I put cheap southern land for the slaves map question too, but it's probably wrong. The other answer just seemed like a trap. but i guess its right.</p>
<p>Also, i diverge with apfreak on what FDR did before the war. you put secret aid to britain? i think another choice was selling weapons or something, and i put that.</p>
<p>EDIT: also, addressing whoever was confused about the french being driven out but then still having louisiana: the french didnt have that land until much later. spain controlled it in 1795, it says here.</p>
<p>EDIT 2: also, the question that apfreak refered to at the end of his post with "2 party system" ... i think that answer was that it developped in response to the policies of andrew jackson</p>
<p>Yea it was republicanism. What gave it away was the third phrase which said something about agricultural or agrarian life. I also agree with the answer about sellling weapons and secret aid to Britian was wrong.</p>
<p>But, I think some people are misinterpretiting the Kansas Nebraska Act Question. I am positive it said which "third" party formed due to the Kansas Nebraska Act. I am absoulutely sure becuase I read it like 3 times. In th Kaplan book it says:</p>
<p>"The Whig Party virtually disappeared during the battle over the bill(KS-NE Bill). In 1852, the nativist, anti-Catholic, anit-Immigrant American party, or Know Nothings, had attracted many Northern Whigs."</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>" The Republicans, ofcourse, had no support in the South."</p>
<p>Both these lines are taken straight from the Kansas Nebraska Act section referring to Old Parties Splitting...If anyone has the Kaplan US History 2005-2006 Edition book check page 155.</p>
<p>I disagree on the agrarian farms and pragmatism.</p>
<p>The Kansas-Nebraska Act led to the Republican party. You're confusing the republican party of lincoln with the democratic-republican party of jefferson. Lincoln's party formed from scratch after the KN Act to protest the spread of slavery into the territories. It definitely started as a third party because I remember reading how it was a good sign when the Republican party received a decent amount of votes in the election of 1856.</p>
<p>the automobile picture problem was ridiculous</p>
<p>what was the answer
i put it is hard to define a ' american car'</p>
<p>Emperor:</p>
<p>I disagree. They are the same exact parties. There is no difference between the party that nominated Jefferson and the party that nominated Lincoln. The Democratic - Republicans are the "Republicans." I am absoulutely sure about my asnwer, but if you disagree thats okay becuase you also have your own opinion. Anybody else have any insight on this question?</p>
<p>Jose: </p>
<p>I think for that one I put the lack for American cars production in America or something like that.....however I am not sure about that one, you may be right.</p>
<p>Jose: i put that too. what a silly question though. i think it's gotta be that one, i dont think any of the others worked. livinitup, the closest one to what you just said was i think "no cars are being produced in america" and i crossed it out for being extreme.</p>
<p>also livinitup, youre not right. the democratic-republicans, or the republicans, of thomas jefferson were basically gone after the 1820s, cause jackson was elected as a democrat. then a new two party system developed under jackson, with the whigs being against him and the democrats for him. these whigs died out in the mid 1850s, and a new republican party, completely different, was created at that time. lincoln was the first president from the republican party</p>
<p>Ugh! Damn you CC! </p>
<p>I thought I did so well until I read this thread. </p>
<p>1) The cartoon with Dulles was about nuclear arms race, because it had a sign that read "The Brink," and Brinkmanship was about nuclear weapons.</p>
<p>2) Are you guys sure about the map queastion with the free states? was the answer 1854?</p>
<p>Collge Board definitely raped me savagely for two hours today: a US History assrape, and then with each freakin' poem they freakin' killed me on literature. </p>
<p>Freakin' College Board sons of **<strong><em>es. I swear to God I'm going to freakin' firebomb their damn headquarters or kidnap their CEO or something. College Board can suck my *</em></strong>.</p>
<p>OK, now I've vented my anger.</p>
<p>livinitup:</p>
<p>I stand by my belief that the parties are completely separate. Whatever, the test has a nice generous curve, so I don't care. There has just about always been two main parties in America. In the beginning the two parties were the federalists and anti-federalists. Anti-federalists became issueless after the ratification and were replaced by the democratic-republicans. Eventually the Federalists collapsed, hence the era of good feelings under Monroe. The Democratic-Republicans then split into national republicans under JQA and democrats under Jackson. No one would consider Jackson a "republican" president, so I can't see how the first republican party existed after 1828.</p>
<p>The parties of Jefferson and Lincoln didn't even have the same platform. The democratic-republican party of Jefferson and Calhoun supported states rights, agragian society, low tarriffs, and even nullification. The Republican party of Lincoln was pro-Union, against spreading slavery into the territories, and had economic ideas similar to Hamilton's federalist party.</p>
<p>From Wikipedia: Organized in Ripon, Wisconsin on February 28, 1854, as a party opposed to the expansion of slavery into new territories, the Party is not to be confused with the Democratic-Republican party of Thomas Jefferson or the National Republican Party of Henry Clay. In fact, the ideology of the reborn Republican party is seen by some as the successor to the Federalist Party (United States) of John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. However, during Jefferson's presidency, he was called a "Republican", but the reference was to the party now known as the Democratic-Republican Party.</p>
<p>If that doesn't convince you, nothing will.</p>
<p>FDR, before Pearl Harbor, placed embargoes on belligerent nations. The oil embargo against Japan stands out in my mind.</p>
<p>yeah. butttt, its not because they were belligerent. britain didnt get an embargo. i think that answer choice was for those who thought FDR didnt want to have anything to do with the war. but i think he actually did support the british, and though his policy such as the lend-lease act conceivably could apply to any country, it was obviously intended to help the allies, and only the allies were in a position to take advantage of it.</p>
<p>EDIT: slipperyeel, #2, im pretty sure its 1854 because the kansas nebraska act is what divided that middle territory into kansas and nebraska. i got it wrong, i put 1850</p>
