<p>From the American Pageant (referring to 1775) “The colonial assemblies found various ways to assert their authority and independence. Some of which played the trick of withholding the governor’s salary unless he yielded to their wishes. He was usually in need of money- or he would not have came to this god-forsaken country - so the power of the purse usually forced him to terms.”</p>
<p>one of the options was “started off with little power but then increased by controlling $$”–anyone else put that or feel that way?</p>
<p>schoolisborning, the answer for the war of 1812 question is expansion. not only did the war hawks want to drive the british out of canada, but they wanted to take this opportunity to expand slavery into the candian territory, since the war hawks were southerners/westerners.</p>
<p>also, the other answers did not mention that the war hawks were from the south/west. they mentioned another part of America, which is wrong.</p>
<p>“Native Americans fought on both sides of the conflict, but were primarily allied to the French. The notable exception was the Iroquois Confederacy, which sided with the American colonies and Britain. The first major event of the war was in 1754, when a Virginia provincial major named George Washington, then twenty-one years of age, was sent to negotiate boundaries with the French, who were unwilling to give up their fortified positions.”</p>
<p>done and done.</p>
<p>and the answer for the great depression was “overproduction and not enough consumption”</p>
<p>what’s the answer for the quote question that has a) martin luther king b) malcom x c) Philip Randolph d) wallace
watever… and… the 18th amendment was about prohibition right?</p>
<p>This is most likely wrong. Multiple reasons.</p>
<p>1) Westerners and Southerners cannot geographically be linked with Canada…at least not easily. Sure. You can establish a motley crew of northern western states right, but that wasn’t around in 1812, and nothing happens magically. Why not expand directly west first?</p>
<p>2) What happened to Manifest Destiny? Yes, we all agree, Canada sucks but the primary fear was not of Canada–nor did they want to spread slavery THERE.</p>
<p>3) The weather up in canada is horrible for slaves and growing what the south does anyways. It is a big surprise that slavery expands west? Remember that scatter plot of slave concentrations? Doesn’t it make sense that they were advocating western expansion, ESPECIALLY, because we “win” the war of 1812 in terms of expanding west?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I put B) Malcolm X. Not only did he support violence, at least for a while, he wanted to break away to form a nation of Islam.</p>
<p>Yes, that is the 18th Amendment, but that’s nowhere on the test.</p>
<p>So there is still debate about:
Power of Assemblies in Colonies (Powerful then decreases, King imposes as you get closer to revolutionary war)</p>
<p>also does anyone remmeber</p>
<p>WWI declaration-i dont think it was Mexico…because they didnt attack because they were afraid of mexico…i think it had something to do with germany</p>
<p>i still dont remember the imperalism question or the favorite balance of trade…so im assuming i missed those. maybe the balance of trade is what is not important for it? otherwise it would be easy?</p>
<p>are you talking about the lassiez-faire question? that was hands off from the government</p>
<p>"Yet a new faction within the party appeared, a powerful bloc of younger congressmen who quickly became known as the War Hawks. As their name suggests, the War Hawks focused primarily on one thing: war. The War Hawks, mostly from the South and the Western Frontier, were so young that the other congressmen often called them the “boys”. Yet the “boys” dominated Congress: the eloquent leader of the War Hawks was Kentucky’s Henry Clay, a legendary orator who, at only thirty-three, was elected Speaker of the House by a War Hawk dominated Congress. "</p>
<p>"Also, the War Hawks lusted after Canada, which they believed was poorly defended. Finally, a shared Revolutionary history bound the US and France together: without France, the US would likely not have been an independent nation at all. Similarly, the animosity created by the Revolution directed US enmity toward Britain, and vice versa. "</p>
<p>“The War Hawks in the 12th Congress were Democratic-Republicans who had been imbued with the ideals of the American Revolution, and were primarily from southern and western states. (The American West then consisted of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, as well as territories in the Old Northwest, which did not yet have votes in Congress.)”</p>
<p>lassiez-faire: supported nonintervention from the government</p>
<p>anyone remember the question with imperalism (how was it worded) and the question about WWI declaration?</p>
<p>im actually confused now what were the exact answer choices for that question?
i know for sure i had “expansionists” in my answer but im not sure if that included “slavery”…i also thought the British forts was another totally different choice…so confused</p>
<p>Esplin, America became independent but don’t forget that the war of 1812 resulted in ANTEBELLUM STATUS QUO. meaning that america recognized canada as part of the british empire. the war never drove out the brits. </p>
<p>and it is known that the war hawks supported the expansion of slavery.</p>
<p>Power of assemblies decreases from their initial power–there is a period where they do really craft laws and whatnot, but as the king begins to impose more and more rulings, etc, he even gains the power to suspend them. They decrease in power.</p>
<p>WWI Declaration - Honestly, the other answers make no logical sense. B, D, and E are blatantly false. A) in order to show unreserved support for the British neutrality policy. That makes no sense either. At least C, to declare war before Mexico does, is historically accurate. Even if the US was not afraid of Mexico, we had no way of knowing if they would or would not listen to the Zimmerman Telegraph.
And Germany is not an option of any sort.</p>
<p>The imperialism question is which of the following is the least popular/likely justification for imperialism. I put A) counteracting European influence. Not only are B-E all things that will profit the US, but, they are all mentioned in literature. Also, at that point, we weren’t worried about their influence as much as we were afraid of not getting the benefits of B-E (It’s not the Cold War, we don’t care if Britain has colonies, we just want colonies too.)</p>
<p>Favored balance of trade’s answer is simply having more exports than imports. That’s what Britain did with the colonies.</p>

<p>“You do realize that “eastern” Asians almost uniquely refers to not China or India? You can hardly even justify that it includes “South” Asia which is Micronesia and whatnot.”</p>
<p>Let me introduce you to something Red Catharsis: it’s called basic geography of the world. If you look on the lovely map of the world, you will be delighted to know that Eastern Asia very much does contain China! And oh my god, but i’m pretty sure that Southern Asia generally refers to the Indian Subcontinent, which would be the reason that Myamar and Indochina to the east of India and Bangladesh are referred to as Southeast Asia. Lastly, let me just say that Micronesia is NOT in Asia. It’s classified as part of Oceania, which is generally attributed to no continental mass seeing as it’s in the middle of the largest Ocean on earth. Next time… get your geographical facts right before you start spouting off all high and mighty.</p>
