SAT II: U.S. History Discussion May 2009

<p>I see that it clearly states that it prohibited immigration of Asians, but whateverrrr</p>

<p>Kwanny K- i put that imports exceeded exports</p>

<p>im still stuck on the FDR second new deal question</p>

<p>i thought everyone was complaining because FDR was only focusing on recovery of banks and large business institutions and the second new deal sought to change that by focusing on relief and reform?</p>

<p>i forgot the answer though</p>

<p>according to this link it could either be the one about critics or that the depression persisted:
[United</a> States History - The Second New Deal](<a href=“http://countrystudies.us/united-states/history-98.htm]United”>United States History - The Second New Deal)</p>

<p>no the reason for the depression is abudnace…it was one of those answer</p>

<p>for new deal, i put like he wanted to make his court packing scheme or w.e,…but thats wrong anyway, lol</p>

<p>and yea because he wanted to focus of reform and recovery or something…but that was not a choice o.o</p>

<p>can’t you get like 8 or 9 wrong and still get an 800 on this?</p>

<p>they wouldn’t have put the date 1921 if Asians were the answer. South/southestern Europeans were migrating to the US in mass numbers due to destruction left by WWI. Migration patterns of the US indicate that from 1890s to 1914, most immigrants were from South/southeastern Europe anyways. The Chinese were already restricted by the Chinese Exclusion Act.</p>

<p>For the one about colonial assemblies I think the answer had something to do with male property owners voting…</p>

<p>Also, I’m not completely sold on the Darwinism quote…why wasn’t it reform darwinism?</p>

<p>Nope, even if you were a free male and owned property back then, you needed to atten church to have a political voice.</p>

<p>its not reform darwinism because they didn’t want to reform anything… the quote discussed about natural evolution of people and overtaking the weak, something along those lines. so it must be social darwinism</p>

<p>Kwanny K- it didn’t say 1921- it said 1920s. i made sure of that for the very reason you’re talking about.</p>

<p>and chinese exclusion act only restricted chinese… the immigration act of 1924 restricted pretty much ALL asians</p>

<p>“was it 90 or 95 questions”</p>

<p>LOL, did you answer an extra 5 or something? it was 90 haha</p>

<p>Hmm i dont remember it talking about overtaking the weak.</p>

<p>“After 1890, social reformers used Darwinism to advocate a stronger role for government and the introduction of various social policies. This movement became known as reform Darwinism. Reform Darwinists argued that human beings need new ideas and institutions as they adapt to changing conditions.”</p>

<p>reform darwinism doesn’t make sense.</p>

<p>What the hell is reform Darwinism? I never even read about that.</p>

<p>Stevenboi - I don’t think that you necessarily had to have church membership. That would only be true of the Puritans, and I believe the questions referred to colonial assemblies in general. There were colonial assemblies in a variety of colonies with varying degrees of religious association. However, the one overarching requirement was that voters were male and owned property.</p>

<p>oh yea didn’t the puritans expel dissenters from the colony</p>

<p>like the dude that found rhode island and anne hutchinson? that made sense so i put that</p>

<ul>
<li><p>The quota for immigrants entering the U.S. was set at two percent of the total of any given nation’s residents in the U.S. as reported in the 1890 census;</p>

<ul>
<li>after July 1, 1927, the two percent rule was to be replaced by an overall cap of 150,000 immigrants annually and quotas determined by “national origins” as revealed in the 1920 census. </li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<p>College students, professors and ministers were exempted from the quotas. Initially immigration from the other Americas was allowed, but measures were quickly developed to deny legal entry to Mexican laborers.</p>

<p>The clear aim of this law was to restrict the entry of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, while welcoming relatively large numbers of newcomers from Britain, Ireland, and Northern Europe. </p>

<p>Last paragraph says it all.</p>

<p>Also, for the political cartoon about the Lowell System, it seemed to me that the message was separate spheres. The Lowell System is associated with the very early stages of industrialization in the textile industry, and brought rural farm women to work in the mills. The words “Lowell System” were located above two circles (read: spheres), which makes me think that may have been the answer.</p>
