The AP US History Study Thread

<p>Patton? (or is it Eisenhower?)</p>

<p>This type of apparel spawned during the Harlem Rennaissance, but stirred up controversy when servicemen rioted against the Mexicans wearing them, and were actually praised by the Los Angelas city officials.</p>

<p>Hey, I got a 5 on the AP exam last year.</p>

<p>Zoot suits? I believe I came across that in review (but it certainly wasn't on the AP test). Am I close?</p>

<p>Explain Puritain idealogy on separation of church and state, briefly.</p>

<p>Ok well, it's necessary to study the Puritans before and during the American revolution to get a pretty good picture of their ideology. I remember learning about how the Puritans' ideology influenced our nation's constitution.</p>

<p>As written at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, the Constitution gave little attention to religion. Its only reference to religion was the prohibition against religious tests for federal officeholders. This provision had a dual purpose—one principled, one practical. </p>

<p>The principled aim was to preclude the possibility of any church-state union or the establishment of a state church, neither of which was possible if religion could not bar one’s service to his country. The provision ensured that the establishment models of the New England and other states would not frame the federal regime. The practical consideration was that even had the framers wanted to impose a religious test, given the diversity of belief in America, disagreements among Americans on what the test should be would stall ratification of the Constitution.</p>

<p>I hope that helps.</p>

<p>Who was the main supporter for the Bacon's Rebellion? (a group)</p>

<p>welll...for that question I just wanted that their government was controlled by church....only churchmembers could vote BUT no ministers could hold office</p>

<p>Oh ok... please keep in mind I took AP USH last year. In addition, my class skipped over all of the early colonial history. We literally only covered from the Revolution to just before Recent history. I skimmed over the parts we skipped myself. I still managed to get a 5. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>back to oasis's question on post #67, i think the right answer was leopold and loeb.</p>

<p>and for sweetdream's question, are you looking for indentured servants or common white laborers?</p>

<p>what were the main cause behind US entry into WWI?</p>

<p>Russia's pullout (allies getting their <strong>butts</strong> handed to them by the germans), Germany's uncooperation in NOT sinking neutral trade ships (Sussex, Luisitania, etc.), anti-German sentiments in the US</p>

<p>similar question, main causes behind US entry into War of 1812???</p>

<p>Impressement, War Hawks's warmongering for Canada, British helping the Indians on the frontier.</p>

<p>What amendment repealed Prohibition?</p>

<p>The 21st. :D</p>

<p>Who assassinated James Garfield?</p>

<p>Garfield was assassinated by Charles Guiteau, a Garfield supporter who had been denied a political appointment.</p>

<p>BTW, for the AP Exam, seldom are questions EVER that specific. Very few actually ever ask for a person's name unless the event associated w/ it isn't too specific. At least I don't remember too many questions like the preceding one on the AP exam last year.</p>

<p>Ok, my turn then. I'll try my best to come up with questions from the AP Exam (but keep in mind I did take it last year).</p>

<p>The following question will be adapted from a multiple choice question and slightly modified (i.e. it will not contain choices). In this format, the answer it calls for may also be helpful in the FR section:</p>

<p>Q: Name two individuals that were expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony and explain what their common thread* was? What did they advocate? What did each go on to do after being expelled?</p>

<p>*Not a reference to a CC thread ;) :D</p>

<p>Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson</p>

<p>Both were Puritan dissenters, and both formed new colonies.</p>

<p>What was the BIGGEST cause for the stock market crash of 1929?</p>

<p>overspeculation of stocks</p>

<p>what started the mexican-american war?</p>

<p>^^Border disputes with Texas.</p>

<p>This document stated the United States was the only nation with the right to intervene with Latin America and if any nation was to do so, it'd be considered an act of attack. (maybe not attack, but eh, writers block and a headache are setting in)</p>

<p>The Monroe Doctrine?</p>

<p>(if I got that right) Q. What bill was passed right before the beginning of WWII to presumably try to keep the US out of the war directly, but still help the democracies of Europe?</p>

<p>Roosevelt Corrolary</p>

<p>What treaty ended the War of 1812?</p>

<p>Monroe Doctrine</p>

<p>unsuccessful plan calling for the abolition of slavery in all acquired territories from the Mexican-American War</p>

<p>@lily: there's a few, the neutrality act of 1939.
@darkruler: treaty of paris (peace of paris)?
@smder: wilmot proviso</p>

<p>what did two statements did the US state during the Spanish-American War? What did each do?</p>

<p>"are you looking for indentured servants or common white laborers?"
Well I guess both are correct because in my book it said young men who were unable to acquired land.</p>

<p>For your question, it was kind of general so I'll just take a guess then first is the Jones Act which declared Puerto Rico to be the United States territory. The second is the Platt Amendment which barred Cuba from making treaties with other nations. I'm sorry if this is not the answer.</p>

<p>Q: What was the purpose of the Declaratory Act?</p>
