The AP US History Study Thread

<p>what is the difference between Gospel of Wealth and social gospel?</p>

<p>gospel of wealth by carnagie: emphasized philantrophy
social gospel: Its good to care about tha' fellow man</p>

<p>sorry for no better responses, I'm tired.
I'm trying to write a flow chart for all of US history in under 2 hours, almost done.</p>

<p>The Gospel of Wealth was Andrew Carnegie's view that the rich should use their wealth to better the community (philanthropy). This was in the late 1800's.The social gospel was also around that time, and it focused on improving conditions. The thought behind this was that better living conditions would make people less desperate and less susceptible to sin (according to the Protestants who preached it).</p>

<p>Here's another question:</p>

<p>Explain the differences between the first and second Great Awakenings.</p>

<p>i hate transcendentalist, they r just a bunch of emos lol</p>

<p>About how many right does one need on MC to get a 5 overall with decent essays?</p>

<p>60/80 ?</p>

<p>Correct me if I'm wrong about transcendentalism - that's one thing I'm not sure if I know..</p>

<p>Transcendentalism was a movement in the early-to-mid 1800's that stressed getting closer to God through feelings. According to Transcendentalists, organized religion was unnecessary.</p>

<p>Is that right?
Also, do you know if the exam covers writers like Thoreau and Poe much?</p>

<p>we read thoreau and emerson in both history and english class, and it freaks us out, since our english teacher is kinda emo person, and he just keeps talking in a girlish manner.</p>

<p>anyway, you are right, -ism in your question of course means a movement.
-ism word can also mean the ideology, but sorry i wasn't really answering the question. I am such a complainer, and our physics teacher is still teaching us electromagnetism, which freaks me out</p>

<p>so basically the first one started in MA Jonathan Edwards Protestant Calvinist sinners in the hand of angry god
second one more emotional connections to religion methodist baptists until civil war
the third one around 1900 activism social gospel temperance</p>

<p>keep posting questions!</p>

<p>Ok here's another:
Who said the Freeport Doctrine, in what context, and what was it?</p>

<p>lol my birthday today and cinco de mayo manana, and i still know nothing ib spanish and going to die </p>

<p>gosh all the gods or any form of saint things from all over the world bless me to pass the test~</p>

<p>Stephen Douglass, and it has something to do with slavery...isn't it just basically popular soveriengty?</p>

<p>wow really hard one and i don't remember at all</p>

<p>i checked wikipedia </p>

<p>"The next question propounded to me by Mr. Lincoln is, Can the people of a Territory in any lawful way, against the wishes of any citizen of the United States, exclude slavery from their limits prior to the formation of a State constitution? I answer emphatically, as Mr. Lincoln has heard me answer a hundred times from every stump in Illinois, that in my opinion the people of a Territory can, by lawful means, exclude slavery from their limits prior to the formation of a State constitution. Mr Lincoln knew that I had answered that question over and over again. He heard me argue the Nebraska bill on that principle all over the State in 1854, in 1855, and in 1856, and he has no excuse for pretending to be in doubt as to my position on that question. It matters not what way the Supreme Court may hereafter decide as to the abstract question whether slavery may or may not go into a Territory under the Constitution, the people have the lawful means to introduce it or exclude it as they please, for the reason that slavery cannot exist a day or an hour anywhere, unless it is supported by local police regulations. Those police regulations can only be established by the local legislature; and if the people are opposed to slavery, they will elect representatives to that body who will by unfriendly legislation effectually prevent the introduction of it into their midst. If, on the contrary, they are for it, their legislation will favor its extension. Hence, no matter what the decision of the Supreme Court may be on that abstract question, still the right of the people to make a Slave Territory or a Free Territory is perfect and complete under the Nebraska bill. I hope Mr. Lincoln deems my answer satisfactory on that point."</p>

<p>who knows lol maybe on DBQ or something</p>

<p>Ques: Who were the SNCC?</p>

<p>sort of...Douglass was the popular sovereignty person. He said/stated/somehow came up with the doctrine during the Lincoln-Douglass Debates (I think it was in Freeport, Illinois). Basically it was that a state could exclude slavery just by not passing laws which guaranteed it's existence.</p>

<p>Student NonViolent Coordinating Convention -- headed by Stokely Carmichael. If I'm not mistaken, didn't it become more of an African American radical movement against segregation?</p>

<p>What was the Eisenhower-Dulles Foreign Policy?</p>

<p>Student Non-Violent Coordination Committee?
Formed as a fraction of MLK's SCLC, which was too passive for them. They organized sit-ins and tried to register black votes.</p>

<p>Right!</p>

<p>Adam's Midnight judges?</p>

<p>GL tomorrow... my brain is saturated. If you want to pwn, read Princeton Review tonight.</p>

<p>Don't remember their names (marbury was one of the six), but the Supreme Court refused Marbury's Writ of Mandamus (against Thomas Jefferson's wishes) and kept the judges in Marbury v. Madison, which established the Supreme Court's power to declare laws constitutional/unconstitutional.</p>

<p>TMS3--a few people in my class also studied off Princeton Review. They said that the book says that the test goes in order of date; however, this is untrue (lol, just so you know)...good luck though!</p>

<p>Next question: Why did the Watergate scandal hurt Nixon so badly?</p>
