SAT II: U.S. History Discussion May 2009

<p>the great depression question was definitely “overproduction and not enough consumption” or else deflation would not even happen.
its cause and effect.
so overproduction is the right answer.</p>

<p>and im pretty sure inflation happened first before the american dollar starting to lose it value.</p>

<p>“The Immigration Act of 1924 was aimed at further restricting the Southern and Eastern Europeans, especially Jews, Italians and Slavs, who had begun to enter the country in large numbers beginning in the 1890s.”[1]
Question solved.</p>

<p>matthewmo you didnt answer my question, lol</p>

<p>you said it was pushing slavery and canada…i know i put pushing slavery but i remember great britain? idk, not sure</p>

<p>wasn’t the reason why there was a second new deal because the first new deal was too pro-business?</p>

<p>it’s protugal cuz the question asked who was the first country to make systematic voyages to ANY country, not the Americas. and the portugese sailed to asia and stuff</p>

<p>Did anyone get an answer with catherine beecher in it?</p>

<p>smarts 1: I put spain because it doesn’t sound reasonable to talk about european nations and their conquests to asia on a US history test…</p>

<p>matthewmo, lol still didnt answer my question…but i’ll take your ignoring of me as a yes…lol</p>

<p>and whoo i put portugal</p>

<p>“The Immigration Act of 1924, or Johnson-Reed Act, including the National Origins Act, Asian Exclusion Act, (43 Statutes-at-Large 153) was a United States federal law that limited the number of immigrants who could be admitted from any country to 2% of the number of people from that country who were already living in the United States in 1890, according to the Census of 1890. It excluded immigration of Asians. It superseded the 1921 Emergency Quota Act. The law was aimed at further restricting the Southern and Eastern Europeans who were immigrating in large numbers starting in the 1890s, as well as prohibiting the immigration of East Asians and Asian Indians.”</p>

<p>Asians :]</p>

<p>oops, sorry tehcakeisaLIE</p>

<p>well, the warhawks wanted to invade canada and drive the british out by starting a rebellion in canada against the british government. but accomplishing this, the south-western war hawks could expand slavery into the region of canada.</p>

<p>besides, the other answer didn’t make sense because it said something other than south-westerners so it was wrong :)</p>

<p>w8 thats what i put! yes! it was something like driving british and expanding slavery. lol</p>

<p>and xxr92…it has to be southern and eastern europeans…it even said it in your description, lol</p>

<p>I think the answer clearly states southern and eastern europeans were the ones being targeted…</p>

<p>i agree with tehcakeisaLIE on the southern and eastern europeans because im pretty sure it specified a time period of 1921. besides, they already had a question on the exclusion act of 1882 so there’s no way they’d give you a question that asks the same exact thing.</p>

<p>I have a question</p>

<p>Why wasn’t the difference between the Spanish and the British (one of the first questions) that the British didn’t actively seek precious metals?</p>

<p>I think that’s the answer - the Spanish sought to dominate the natives for the purposes of spreading Christianity and taking getting rich through finding gold, while the British reasons were mercantilism and religious.</p>

<p>for the qraph of export vs import, was the answer imports exceeded exports in the interwar years OR that they were approximately the same when the US entered war</p>

<p>the spanish didn’t need new markets for manufactured goods right? cause there was one with all of the following are reasons for spanish exploration EXCEPT and i dont know the answer</p>

<p>radiosix, the Jamestown suffered because the settlers were chasing gold instead of learning to grow crap to eat. Gold/silver were incentives for all settlers</p>

<p>yea matt i think thats what i put…i forgot if i changed it though…</p>

<p>and radiosix, it was joint stock</p>

<p>i put exceeded</p>

<p>they did not need or receive manufactured goods from the Americas.</p>
