<p>What was the Hetch-Hetchy Affair?</p>
<p>power changed.. why is that so revolutionary?</p>
<p>ANYBODY ELSE FEELING SOOOO effing screwed for this test.. adfasdfh..</p>
<p>YES. I know virtually nothing about 1900s-present. AGH.</p>
<p>faithful-it was revolutionary because the power transition was bloodless...and it didn't involve the invitation of a ruler of another country. And it also put the constitution through a test-and the constitution withstood that transition of power.</p>
<p>And what the HELL was the Hetch-Hetchy affair?!?!?!! Never heard of it.</p>
<p>Hetch-Hetchy affair is...</p>
<p>There were two guys with conflicting views: Gifford Pinchot, the head of the National Conservation Commission, and John Muir, an environmentalist. </p>
<p>The most drastic conflict between the two was the Hetch-Hetchy affair. Hetch-Hetchy was a wilderness in Yosemite National Park. Muir felt the the wilderness should remain in its pristine state, but the mayor of San Fran wanted to bild a dam to supply his city with water. Pinchot agreed with the mayor, saying it was foolish to satisfy a few aesthetic lovers, and that the dam would benefit much more people.</p>
<p>Now this all sounds kinda pointless for the AP test but the important part is that President Theodore Roosevelt sided with Pinchot and eventually the dam was built, turning the area into a lake.</p>
<p>What was the National Grange Movement and why did it arise? What were its successes and failures?</p>
<p>For OPEC, AMSCO says it was formed in 1960, the last year of Eisenhower's presidency (p. 576)</p>
<p>Uhh what the Grange Movement was an agargian movement from the 19th century i thought??</p>
<p>The National Grange Movement occured after the civil war from the 1870's to about 90's. During the war, farmers had bought a lot of land and machinery and got into a lot of debt. After the war, the wartime prices for agricultural stuff dropped dramatically, so the farmers worked together to promote currency inflation, higher farm prices, use of silver, and regulation of railroads to help themselves out. They called out the government to address all of these issues.</p>
<p>What was the "vagabond profession" and what was the only American contribution to it?</p>
<p>No one knows?</p>
<p>something to do with theatre?</p>
<p>Who was Rachel Carson? What book did she write?</p>
<p>I have no idea about the vagabond prefession one....</p>
<p>Rachel Caron wrote Silent Spring in the 1960s (1970s?), which exposed the dangers of pesticide. Her book was published in a decade where ppl were growing increasingly aware of technological/human harm to the environment.</p>
<p>What was the Truman Doctrine and why/how did it come about?</p>
<p>Let's see if I can give a good hand at this...</p>
<p>The Truman Doctrine was made after WWII in an effort to prevent the expansion of Communism. I believe it said the United States would act against Communism if it spread to the Western Hemisphere.</p>
<p>Now checking to see if I am remotely right on this...</p>
<p>Okay, I am confusing this with the Monroe Doctrine, partially. So, to confirm to anyone else who might get a half-mixup like this:</p>
<p>The Truman Doctrine was made 2 years after WWII, in response to the Greek Civil War and the fear of communism spreading into Turkey and Greece. In this proclamation, Truman said the United States would send money, supplies, or military force to countries in danger of falling to communism. It was the first step of the US's policy of containment.</p>
<p>This applied to the USSR's expansion anywhere in the globe. On the other hand, the Monroe Doctrine was the one that applied only to the Western Hemisphere. In that Doctrine, James Monroe said the United States would prevent any colonial powers from having influence with any independent nations in the Western Hemisphere.</p>
<p>This is probably why I need to study more...I'm not that great on the 20th century stuff still...anyways.</p>
<p>New question: Explain what happened during the Salem Witch Trials, and what effect it had on American society and the legal system (if any).</p>
<p>Oh, and the vagabond one...I'm pretty sure the vagabonds were acting troops that moved from town to town throughout the United States, around the time of the turn of the century. I'm not sure what the "only" contribution America made to it was...I think there were lots of vagabond troops. However, it did spread culture and began to form a basis of entertainment. In addition, it caused new theaters to be built in towns, providing venues. Vagabonds would also be the basis for the American musical.</p>
<p>Is that somewhat close, at least?</p>
<p>(Note: My question is still above...)</p>
<p>Well, the Salem Witch Trials were started when two girls feigned being under the control of Satan. They accused persons they didn't like of being witches, and about twenty people were killed as a result.</p>
<p>It definitely diminished the prestige of the Church.</p>
<p>ok i'm adding in a new question

<p>But I highly doubt that these somewhat trivial facts will be tested on the AP exam.</p>
<p>Easy question: The real reason congress wanted to impeach Andrew Johnson?</p>
<p>the real reason congress wanted to veto johnson was because he was vetoing all the radical republican legislation</p>
<p>My question: What court case established the right to privacy?</p>
<p>Because Johnson was a racist jackass? </p>
<p>Seriously, it's because he opposed the radical republicans.</p>
