<p>the singers question is ridiculously dumb
how the heck are we supposed to know something like that
they always have a %@#$ question like that</p>
<p>The singer was Billie Holiday wasn't it? </p>
<p>I thought in general the test was a bit easier then I had thought it was going to be</p>
<p>"Jackson's health was never good and there were times during his presidency when it seemed he would not live to complete his term. But complete it he did and in 1837 retired to his home near Nashville which he and Rachel had named The Hermitage. When the Hermitage was first built it was little more than a small cabin, but by Jackson's retirement it had been expanded, remodeled, and rebuilt into a spacious plantation house."</p>
<p>um...so? is this in reference to any question?</p>
<p>the wrong pair is garvery and sncc....sncc is way after garvey...</p>
<p>it was marcus garvey and Sncc</p>
<p>jackson was plantation: people criticized him for for having too much wealth, while supporting the common man, the rich called him a traitor of his class (peggy eaton is wrong)</p>
<p>executive wasnt directly voted by the people. (it said right when the constitution was made) and remember that only the guys at the convention voted for G. Washington (remember he didnt get one dissenting vote) so i say 1 legislature branch</p>
<p>the one i wasnt sure about was jameston: i put over hundred years blah blah</p>
<p>and by the way.. stop trying to predict how many you got wrong just from this thread post: theres 90 questions... we probably went over 45</p>
<p>what were other answers for the 1820 federal government thing? (i doubt its funding weak parts)</p>
<p>Are you referencing the "What did federal and state governments consistently fund after 18--?" I put transportation, the rest were subject to flux. Oh, what about the question on the Federal Reserve Act on all of the problems it would solve EXCEPT...the answers I recall were regulating the stock exchange (my answer), creating a flexible currency, making banks in the south and west more secure or something...</p>
<p>o yea.. that what it was
i put transportation because i thought of the canals and ?roads?</p>
<p>for Federal reserve act: i picked the one that that nothing to do with what banks do ... so i think i put regulate stock exchange</p>
<p>Hmm.. i just remembered the question that stumped me:
From where did most immigrants come in the late 19th century:
i put Germany and Italy i believe</p>
<p>I put either Germany and Italy (was that an option?) or Germany and Ireland, I think the latter.</p>
<p>The late 1800s saw a huge spike in immigrations from southern and eastern Europe, which included countries like Hungary and Italy (which I believe was an answer). I don't know if Germany counts in this group, but I doubt it. This led to great resentment from nativists in America who generally came from Northern/Western Europe and viewed the new people negatively. All that resulted in the Immigration Act of 1924.</p>
<p>Did the Lowell system recruit young girls?</p>
<p>Not sure.. but i think it was (c) lol
all i remember is that i was thinking of the southern and eastern Europe, who flowed into the US at that time, and i kinda visualized the map of europe in my head.... so i picked out germany which is in the east and i think Italy or Ireland not sure</p>
<p>young girls trying to make money for dowry's i believe</p>
<p>Ireland is most definitely not in the east. It's west of England.</p>
<p>Italy is in the south though...</p>
<p>but if the source of your reasoning is accurate, then i guess you're right</p>
<p>all i did was make an educated guess</p>
<p>I think we're confusing two (or more) different immigration questions. One on quotas limiting immigrants from southern and eastern Europe and the other on the top two countries where immigrants were coming from in the late 19th century. The two countries had pairs (I think, I could very well be wrong) of Germany and Ireland, Hungary and Italy, England and Germany and some other pairs...</p>
<p>im pretty sure there was an Italy and Germany (c)</p>
<p>Hmm.. what about that question with the answer as boll weevil (which one of the reasons was not why blacks move during WW1 to the cities) i think i put just that... boll weevil massacre of plants =/... what a stupid question</p>
<p>I answered boll weevil too, but I hated that question.</p>
<p>I stand by my answer on Hungary and Italy for the question about the 2 countries with the highest immigrant rates coming in during the late 19th century. The issue was part of a Free Response question on the AP test last May.</p>
<p>What was not a reason for America's involvement in WW1? Was it regarding Wilson's stance on neutrality? Or Germany's rejection of his 14 Points?</p>
<p>The cartoon including Tammany Hall was about urban political corruption.</p>
<p>I hated the singers question about Holliday too, and I left it blank.</p>
<p>In regards to the Jamestown question, I said it developed gradually over a 100 years, considering Jamestown was settled in 1607, meaning there was a while to go before the Revolutionary War or any significant snatches of power.</p>
<p>On the question that talked about the quotas on immigration.....it seems like tightening the quotas would decrease immigration, but my book says that despite the quotas immigration in the 1920s reached record highs....any thoughts?</p>
<p>Definitely cotton -- remember that rhyme about Young King Corn?</p>
<p>Imperialism - I wrote settlement/colonization, because Americans didn't exactly want to live in whatever land they conquered, they just wanted to have a new market for their goods and spread American ideals (incl. Christianity.) "White Man's Burden."</p>
