<p>i agree the MC was probably pretty important, but i thought the map was more to show us how slavery had expanded due to the acquisition of new territories and the exhaustion of the soil in the original south.</p>
<p>(By MC I mean missouri compromise lol)</p>
<hr>
<p>Yeah I talked about Louisiana purchase/ expansionism and rise of the cash crop in reference to the map.</p>
<p>I think I did pretty bad on most of the free response…</p>
<p>For the DBQ I didn’t really analyze WHY the north had less slaves than the south, mostly just the slaves’ response. I did include some interesting outside information that the graders probably wouldn’t expect though</p>
<p>For the first essay I did 2 like everyone else (I can’t even remember what topic 3 was), and because I barely studied at all I only made passing mentions of all those acts. I did analyze why the colonists embraced republican values though and why those British policies caused so much agitation, referring to individualism, enlightenment, and calvinist influences (I wrote a research paper on that), which should be pretty interesting even though I wasn’t too specific with facts. Basically writing mostly about why the colonists responded as they did as opposed to only what British policies caused</p>
<p>I did great on topic 4. I wrote about the Knights of Labor and Socialist Party of America, which I actually did study + I included a lot of analysis (why they were appealing, why they failed, etc.)</p>
<p>Dang Nat Turners rebellion was 1831. Oops. I was trying to think of the name of the Stono uprising the whole time but couldn’t until right after time was called. Ugh.</p>
<hr>
<p>Yeah, I used Nat Turner’s rebellion too. I think it was a fairly common mistake. Good thing you didn’t think of the Stono Rebellion; I believe it was too early for the prompt.</p>
<p>DBQ I talked about Stono Rebellion, cotton kingdom, cotton gin, slaves joining British during Revolution, slaves on plantations mixing african culture w/christianity, northern slaves having easier lives as servants in homes. I’m really worried though cuz I had a bunch of stuff after the time period like Nat Turner, WEB DuBois, B.T Washington, abolitionists llke Susan B. Anthony and Eliz. Cady Stanton. I know they only give points and don’t look to subtract, but I hope I had enough relevant info to still score high.</p>
<p>ThePerson1: Good job including the AA and Christianity mix! I forgot about that one.</p>
<p>Yeah the DBQ was ok I think. I basically talked about how since slaves faced discrimination, they had to form their own communities to find a place in society or something. But, I didn’t really talk about the slaves as much as I could have, so I’m a little worried that my essay wasn’t balanced enough for 7,8,9. Oh well… :(, but I’m pretty sure that 2 and 5 went so much better. Overall, it was not as bad as I expected it to be.</p>
<p>So anyways for the DBQ I talked about the raise of the cash crop (cotton kingdom), western expansionism (louisiana purchase= more land for slaves), mix between african and christian culture/religion, slaves secretly learning to read/write, slave stereotypes (bucks, jezebels, etc), nat turner’s rebellion (one year too late- 1831), underground railroad (which was during the prompt time but I also incorporated Harriet Tubman who was a few decades later…), sharecropping, and I think that’s all, but I’m not entirely sure.</p>
<p>For 5, I think I completely dropped the ball for african americans. Instead of talking how they migrated to northern cities, I focused on how they were allowed to enlist in the army to fight in the war, except now I realize that this wouldn’t count as domestic life, lol. Now I’m starting to doubt my chance for a 5.</p>
<p>to me, it seems as if the test from with life in the 1970’s and the Articles was much harder than the one i had (slavery expansion/contraction, and of course essay’s 2 and 5, WW2 homefront and American Revolution)…i mentioned a lot of things mentioned above for #2, such as MC, Nat Turner, cotton gin, slave culture, necessity of a labor force, etc…i also mentioned Hariet Tubman and formation of the abolitionists (William Llyod Garrison “The Liberator”) which was not mentioned above</p>
<p>As for #5, i was a little weaker; for Japanese, i discussed Executive Order 9066, Pearl harbor, discrimination from jobs prior to Pearl Harbor, internment camps, and how they were later compensated for America’s wrong doing (in my conclusion)…for African Americans, i described their migration to urban areas/ jobs as manufactures, contribution to the was (liberty bonds, food rationing, etc.) and their increased rights as seen by desegregation of the military by Truman</p>
<p>For Multiple Choice, i thought slightly harder than usual…are we allowed to discuss this?</p>
<p>For the DBQ I wrote about:
<p>and a lot of other stuff, but I think I did a pretty solid job.</p>
<p>@ MBShooter12 - we can never discuss the MC, ever.</p>
<p>No multiple choice discussion… ever. It was a little hard though.</p>
<p>**discuss the Mutiple choice?</p>
<p>oh and for #2, i was pretty strong, i discussed the Coercive Acts, Sugar ACt, revenue taxes, Proclamation of 1763, salutory neglect, and i think a few more…on the colonist side, i described Boston Massacre/Tea Party, Committees of Correspondence, Olive Branch Petition (obscure but a great example)), Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense”, and more…overall, went well</p>
<p>oo ok, thanks for the heads up, no multiple choice then haha</p>
<p>For the DBQ I explained the difference between the north and south with respect to public perception of african americans (due to the diverging way of life), and their attitudes in response. </p>
<p>For #2, I talked about the evolution of colonial sentiment as a result of lack of understanding in addition to British imprudent and adamant imperial policies. </p>
<p>For #5, I chose mexicans and japanese. Interment camp, a bit background, war hysteria, court case, general sentiment. Braceros (sp?) program, zoot suit riot, nativism. I ended up pinpointing american hypocrisy. Maybe a bit too severe.</p>
<p>For MC, what if we made references to questions, without actually stating specifics? I’m sure we would know what questions we were referring to without actually stating them, but would that still not be allowed?</p>
<p>^ velleity, that’s intense haha but it sounds good and you seem to have a hold on the English language, so im sure it went well for you</p>
<p>@ ThePerson1</p>
<p>Just try to avoid discussing MC. Your allowed to comment on difficulty but not specific questions. I’m not sure on your question but I’d suggest not discussing.</p>
<p>Can we make an aim chat room to discuss MC? Or is that not allowed</p>
<p>I believe you can talk about general things (i.e. this exam was weak on post civil war, strong in antebellum) and stuff like that, but to be on the safe side, let’s just not talk about it.</p>
<p>In addition, with that supposed cheating thing in California, who wants to take the risk.</p>
<p>@ d12345 - If you made a chatroom, they can’t find out unless they’re spying or something. Nonetheless, you are breaking the contract you signed by talking about the questions, and it is definitely illegal.</p>
<p>For the DBQ I wrote about:</p>
<ul>
<li>Missouri Compromise</li>
<li>“the Peculiar Institution”</li>
<li>Religion-- Baptists, Methodists, and Unitarism (I’m so happy I memorized this for no reason.)
-Bible References
-Stono Rebellion :(… I thought it was during this time period so I was so happy. uggh I should have used Denmark Vesey.</li>
<li>Underground Railroad
-William Lloyd Garrision-Seems like no one used this one
-Abolitionists
-Buying themselves out of slavery from odd jobs</li>
</ul>
<p>and i said there was a cause and effect relationship about how the institution of slavery spread while there were more slaves becoming free.</p>
<p>For no. 2, i talked about how each time an act came, resistance became even more openly defiant… examples: the stamp act (boycotts), tea act (boston tea party), the declaratory acts, intolerable acts, and the quebec acts---- which eventually led to the first continental congress… but common sense came and used enlightenment ideas to inspire republican values and kick out tyranny.</p>
<p>no 5… i just talked about the same thing over and over… for the african americans, i said that there was an exodus of AA’s from the south to the north in search of a better life style away from the jim crow laws and black codes, but stil there was discrimnation in the north… and i said that the japanese americans were treated the worst out of all the groups because they were interned at internment camps and talked about Korematsu vs. US. :)</p>
<p>would this be good? i feel like the dbq asked us to answer TOO MANY QUESTIONS -_-</p>
