<p>How much money did the British make off the stamp act?</p>
<p>kitinari007, was my answer correct?</p>
<p>Okay, jabronidan do you want a specific number? My book only mentioned that " British officials were soon collecting more than ten times as much annual revenue from America as before 1763" I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for though.</p>
<p>Q: Name some weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation government.</p>
<p>a) didn't hold the states together effectively
b) lack of a common currency
c) lacked power to enforce taxation
d) the states had much more power</p>
<p>.... I'm sure there were more. I took AP USH last year so this is just from memory. I remember I was a lot quicker and sharper w/ my History facts last year (especially on the AP Exam).</p>
<p>Q: What was the Aroostook War fought over? Give an approximate time period. Which treaty in 1783 is at fault for the eventual conflict (Aroostook War) and in what ways was it a cause?</p>
<p>For fun: What are some nicknames given to this conflict?</p>
<p>LOL the answer is $0, not a penny was ever collected by the stamp act of 1765.</p>
<p>@sweetdream: I was thinking Teller and Platt Amendments. The Teller Amendment guaranteed Cubans their freedom after the Spanish-American War and the Platt Amendment defined US-Cuban relations and guaranteed US naval bases, docks, supplies, etc. (e.g. Guantanamo Bay). The Platt Amendment also gave the US the right to intervene whenever they felt that Cuba was "in trouble."</p>
<p>I hadn't heard of the Jones Act until now, but after looking it up, it definitely works. Gah... darn shortsightedness haha.</p>
<p>@APDoolittle: Aroostook War was between US (Maine) and Britain over boundary disputes that the Peace of Paris for the War of 1812 didn't completely address. Can't remember the date though or any nicknames...</p>
<p>What were the three Rs of FDR's New Deal? What is the difference between them?</p>
<p>Didn't someone already answer this question above? The three Rs are Relief-immediate effort to help those who were most effected by the depression, Recovery-restore the economy back to normal and Reform- create new programs and plans for the future to make sure that the same thing won't happen again also to balance the interests of farmers, labor, and businesses</p>
<p>Q: What were the resolutions of the Hartford Convention?</p>
<p>Well, there were several but they basically helped safeguard against tyranny. I remember we did an activity in my AP USH class last year where we broke up into groups and explored the resolutions. Ok, I pretty much remember studying a few suggested ammendments that the states were expected to observe. Such suggestions touched on state taxation as well as state representation. There had to be a 2/3 vote (both houses) for admitting new states. Congress's powers were limitted in that they couldn't enfore embargoes on ships or citizens for more than a certain amount of time (I forget the exact number, but I think it was around 60 days - give or take). Other limitations to Congress included that it did not have the power to intervene with international trade w/o a 2/3 vote from both houses. An important one I remember was that it could not declare a war w/o majority votes. One that I always had trouble rememebering had something to do with holding civil office (and I think it was to affect people after the resolutions were made known). Then I remember that it limitted the President's terms in office and it outlined the rules as far as elections and whatnot.</p>
<p>LOL, had it not been for that fun group activity (that went on for several days), I don't know how I'd remember a lot of this. I really am thankful for the teacher I had!! He was awesome. In fact, last year was his final year teaching AP USH (he went on to become the Dean of Students @ the middle school) so I was the very last student in his teaching career to score a 5!! How awesome is that? He deserved it though. And after all my hard preparation, I believe I did too!</p>
<p>Ok, my turn to ask a question.</p>
