The official 2009 APUSH after exam discussion thread

<p>anyone discuss korematsu vs US in #5?</p>

<p>^smarts1. i used Garrison and mentioned “The Liberator” :)</p>

<p>and Jboxer, i didn’t and damn i wish i had</p>

<p>I think you can mention Lloyd Garrison, but talking about the Liberator is 1831, which is out of the period no?</p>

<p>Speaking of which, I forgot about the American Colonization Society. Damn =&lt;/p>

<p>For the dbq you won’t get taken that much off for writing like a couple facts out of the time period right? Cuz I said some stuff about Frederick Douglass and William garrisson (like 2 sentences) and idk if they were in the right time period.</p>

<p>I think everyone’s taking the time period thing way out of wack. You must analyze the effect between w.e it was 1775-1830. But it looks good to go beyond those times, to analyze the first implementation of slavery and then go further (Uncle Tom’s Cabin, The Liberator, territorial disputes). Readers won’t take off points if you know more history.</p>

<p>Yeah, but they certainly won’t give you points. If you write “WLG started the Liberator in 1831 for the immediate emancipation of slaves,” they will ignore it and move on because it is out of the time period. It doesn’t hurt to throw in facts like that, but it will 100% not help you.</p>

<p>Again. Readers do not take off points for info outside the time period or wrong info. You only seem to lose points for this because if you have something outside the time period you usually failed to discuss the things in the time period.</p>

<p>anyone discuss korematsu vs US in #5?</p>

<hr>

<p>yeah and then I mentioned how it wasn’t revoked until Ex Part Endo :]</p>

<p>Executive Order 9066 would work in #5 too right?</p>

<p>Yeah, executive order 9066 is a great example.</p>

<p>ha yea shs1992, i didnt know that much, I just mentioned how japanese families weren’t given retribution until the 1970s.</p>

<p>Didn’t they give them retribution in the late 80s? I could be wrong though. I didn’t put a date in my essay for that, i just said “later in the century.”</p>

<p>cheating thing in California? R u referring to last yr?</p>

<p>Oh never mind. You’re right it was 1978. Good job :]</p>

<p>Executive Order 9066, Internment Camps, and Korematsu vs. United States were the three big ones for Japanese-Americans during World War Two.</p>

<p>Now, I have a giant, enormous, important question. I chose Mexican-Americans and Japanese-Americans for #5, but I think I totally messed up Mexican-Americans. It said discuss the experience of these people on the home-front during World War Two, and World War Two technically started 1937. So, I spoke about how the New Deal programs totally left out Mexican-Americans and they couldn’t find any work. I know this is valid until at least 1940-41, but then the war allowed them to find work all over the place. Do you guys think they’ll at least give me a little credit for saying what I said?</p>

<p>Oh for DBQ, I think one of the biggest things that contributed to the growth of slavery was natural increase. The slave trade was abolished in 1808, and that meant it was much harder to get slaves.</p>

<p>@ gjdrobs - No, some schools this year were told not to administer the apush exam in california. There’s a rumor that some international leaked info, although no conclusive statement.</p>

<p>I think they might give you credit for new deal if you stated explicitly that it was near the end of the decade. If not, I’m not sure but I don’t think they would.</p>

<p>Hmm…Alright, thanks for the reply An0maly. I don’t think I explicitly stated it, so I guess I’ll just hope for the worst. I honestly think I only need a 3 on that essay to get a five, but my Mexican-American part was basically non-existent.</p>

<p>Did anyone use Jewish Americans for Number 5?</p>

<p>I don’t think anyone used Jews. What could you say about them?</p>
