<p>and did you guys remember an answer choice that was “americans, after WWI, felt disillutioned…”</p>

<p>actually i remember the answer for the one about 1920s…</p>

<p>it was “poverty gap decreased between poor and rich” …the question asked which was not true so i put that since it increased.</p>

</p>

<p>The lost generation?</p>

<p>act of religious toleration was providing a safe haven for catholics (one with catholics in it was teh asnwer! =D) i hope…</p>

<p>no trackgirl, i think we’re right lol</p>

<p>btw red catharsis how are you a junior member if you just joined this month? which started yesterday 0_0</p>

<p>sorry to keep bringing this up, but does ANYONE know what the question was about assemblies in the colonies?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Post a lot? I think after 30 you’re a junior. It’s probably by post count. Oh, and I joined after taking them. Today. D:</p>

<p>List is up to 82. I’ll post it after we get some more additions.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Which one? Did assemblies gain/lose power or what was the type of ruling body in the early colonies? (Town meetings?)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Mhm, this was an option, I think E, in the question about like which of these is true about WWI? And this is the one where A) to provide unreserved support for Britain’s neutrality policy and C) to declare war before Mexico does</p>

<p>I picked C–seems true, because I know the lost generation was disillusioned, but I don’t see why Americans were. They just won a war =P</p>

<p>i guess the one about gaining or losing power. what was that question? thanks!</p>

<p>for the colonial assemblies question, i put the answer choice that talked about power of money, since the colonial assemblies had the power of the purse (ie they paid the royal governors) which helped keep their british-appointed leaders in check</p>

<p>does anybody remember the wording of the question, thougH?</p>

<p>yeah the wording was what I forgot</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think it went along the lines of…</p>

<p>“What was the relationship between colonial assemblies and their British governors in the colonies?”</p>

<p>Or something like that.</p>

<p>*</p>

<p>Isn’t it still true though, that at first, the assemblies had more of the power that you talk about, IE over the purse, and then, later, the assemblies become ignored, banned, etc? (Boston? NY?)</p>

<p>Like as the king asserts more and more power, the royal governors also get more and more power. And more and more royal colonies pop up as time passes. (I thought there was at least 1 or 2 oppressive royal governors at just about the time of the revolution? Maybe not…)</p>

<p>ya i put the one that said they gradually controlled the power of money and kept the colonial goverenor in check</p>

<p>it was like which of the following is true? was that the question?</p>

<p>one lsat question.</p>

<p>the one about beef. it said which of the following is not a reason for why the open cattle system failed in th e1890s?</p>

<p>homesteaders was one of teh answers and so was like bad weather…but i put decrease in prices was NOT a reason.</p>

<p>it was decrease in beef liking or something idk</p>

<p>Anyone remember a question that asked about like the tranportation movement, or something along those lines? One of the answers was like “the creation of canal, railroad, and steamships”</p>

<p>

<p>Whaddayaknow, historians. Yaaay!</p>

<p>Thanks, RedCatharsis. I knew that they wanted Canada, but I dismissed that when taking the test and didn’t pick it - thankfully.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s the answer sir.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Uh oh, I didn’t mean that on the first part. I put that they were initially powerful then lose that power, because, as the revolutionary war rolls along, the assemblies become more and more helpless.</p>

<p>More and more royal governors are imposed who, even if they changed their salaries, were usually not compliant because they were rich proprietors anyways. Additionally, the various acts - Stamp Act? Sugar Act? only demonstrated that the assemblies did not have power (they were never consulted in the passage of such laws).</p>

<p>Sure, boycotts do reverse the laws, but it still demonstrates the departure from assembly-esque power.</p>

<p>And yes, the beef question was a decrease in demand for beef.
I put homesteaders D: I have to stop memorizing things wrong.</p>

<p>what did you guys put for the african american voting trend on the graph?</p>

<p>Oh, the question about the farmers. Was it 1860s or 1890s?</p>

<p>… Or am I getting this confused with the practice test I took this morning. (Yes - I woke up at 3:30 and took a practice test before I got ready for the real test.)</p>

<p>increased because of voting laws in the 1960s-african american voting
1890s-farmers</p>

<p>ahh i hope i got the colonial governement right.</p>

<p>also i hope anticommunists is right</p>

<p>just want to make sure:</p>

<p>the answer to exploration was portugal right? What did the question exactly say? first to systemmatically explore in general or first to systemmatically explore the PACIFIC?</p>

<p>@red: i think you erased the one about fundamentalism and catholics…also you can add the graph with the trend of voting laws in the 1960s. I also think you put anticommunistsx2 </p>

<p>also i think i already asked, the one with the exports vs. imports. Was it that imports were worth less than exports? that was the wrong one right?</p>
