<p>i said that they were freed in the north and overall generally because it was beginning to become socially acceptable…so as slaves were freed and society made a move to make it ethically unacceptable in the south economic benefits led to its expansion</p>
<p>yeah I used it more so as an example of developments in transportation that were encouraging expansion at the time, not as an example of something that directly increased slavery</p>
<p>edit: I don’t think we’re ever allowed to discuss the MC</p>
<p>but the civil war was not in the time period and those who fought in the revolutionary war werent in large enough numbers to constitute the basis of that question</p>
<p>i was completely ■■■■■■■■ and wrote something about MLK in the second essay about minorities on the homefront…it’s only like a one sentence kind of thing but do you guys think they would take off a lot for it??</p>
<p>i think i picked it up from doc b it said something about providing service and not getting recognition or something idk lol</p>
<p>ugh I totally forgot about the northwest ordinance! That wouldve worked so well with my dbq. I’m totally remembering things that I shouldve put in there like transportation and the fugitive slave law… :(</p>
<p>beccaames91 - the second document was a letter written by a slave who had fought in the Revolutionary War, complaining about how it was hypocritical that he didn’t become free for fighting… so I’m pretty sure slaves were NOT freed for fighting in the Revolution.</p>
<p>I am so mad that I didn’t put the Missouri Compromise in, I thought it was in the 1830’s or something after the time period. Although I’m still not sure how that worked. The Missouri Compromise like, banned slavery in all states north of the mason-dixen line right? But in that document showing a map of America in 1830 with dots for the amount of slaves there were in a certain area, there were still dots in like every northern state. So what’s up with that?!</p>
<p>it doesnt matter, i think the fact that the dots were reduced means that it worked to some degreee…</p>
<p>and then in the south it grew as a result of eli whitney’s cotton gin and that it was below the 36,30 parallel</p>
<p>DBQ:
I covered the Revolutionary War and how the south was Agrarian based and the North was industry based (Hamiltonian ideals vs jeffersonian etc). How with the invention of the cotton-gin south needed more slaves. How the south felt like it was good to keep blacks in the work-place. I went on to say that more of the northners felt like it was a moral wrong than the south. Brought up the north star, and the liberator, hariet tubman, underground railroad… I didn’t really know what in the hell the question was asking so I kinda bsed it. I don’t think I referenced the documents a lot. I had a lot of outside info tho.</p>
<p>FRQ 1:</p>
<p>I chose number 2. Just did chronological order of what happened. Mentioend the grievances “taxation without representation” and the quartering troops etc</p>
<p>FRQ 2:</p>
<p>I chose number 5. I chose Japanese American and did executive 8802 by Roosevelt and spoke about how the Japanese lost all rights and put in concentration camps. How they lost their homes etc. I also said how many were 2nd generation and had no affiliation with Pearl Harbor etc… conspiracy theoiries.</p>
<p>Then for African Americans I said during the war, a lot of white men were off at war. I said how our defense industry was boosted because we supplied basically all the allied power with arms. So this meant more jobs and the African Americans took over and I said how there was a great migration of blacks to the North during the time. I also said the North was more accomadating to blacks then the South. I said this lead to the civil rights movement because after the war, blacks wanted the same treatment.</p>
<p>*Note I dont know if my answers are right or anyhting haha… Just what I wrote…</p>
<p>I didn’t study at all aside the night before. So I feel pretty good for not doing anything. I just forgot thesis statements in the FRQ’s and I don’t feel like I referenced the documents enough in my DBQ.</p>
<p>Do my answers seem somewhat right?</p>
<p>Mcgoogly- The Missouri Compromise was in 1820 and prohibited slavery north of 36.30 in the western territories, excluding Missouri. I don’t think it abolished slavery in previously admitted Northern States. What year was that [document] map in?</p>
<p>Some DBQ mistakes/anachronisms I’ve seen:
Stono Rebellion (1739)
Harriet Tubman (would have been 10 years old in 1830)
Nat Turners Rebellion (1831)
The Liberator (1831)
The North Star (1847 I think)
Fredrick Douglass (wasn’t free until 1838)</p>
<p>does anyone know if i can say that william lloyd garrison wanted the immediate emancipation of slaves without compensation although i never explicitly stated the Liberator newspaper thing?</p>
<p>uggh i’m looking at this thread and saying to myself why didn’t i say that -_-</p>
<p>rk33 - that doc was either 1820 or 1830, though I think it was the latter. But yeah that sounds right - I just looked it up and it seems that most of the northern states enacted gradual emancipation laws (on their own, as state laws) that meant that it took decades for the slave count to amount to zero. So that would have been a pretty solid piece of evidence. Whatever, it’s not like there was any chance of me putting that on, I had no idea (and I doubt anyone did).</p>
<p>yeah doc C was 1830, I recall referencing the compromise because of that</p>
<p>Honesty though, the time period they gave us I didn’t really feel had much information now that I look it up and people are responding. They were very little specific figures and also I think that the question was terrible… but that was just me.</p>
<p>smarts1, Garrison was indeed an immediatist…so that would be a valid point if you’re saying that towards the 1830s there was a growing radical abolitionist voice.</p>
<p>Oh yeah I put in the 2nd great awakening too. With methodists and baptist churches.</p>
<p>I agree the timing was terrible. The question (to me at least) was rather strange. Major developments leading up to the Civil War would be much more valid to me, this question just seems useless.</p>
<p>I ended up using several things from outside the period. I used Frederick Douglass’ Autobiography to detail justifications for slavery in the South (considering he was a slave during that period, it should be valid). But i also used Stono’s Rebellion. I am more worried that one of my major points was that the shift to a manufacturing economy in the North diminished the need for slaves, but I am really regretting that now.</p>
<p>Thank God the curve for AP US is insane, so I should still manage a 4.</p>
<p>um… this is kinda embarasing…and i asked my AP coordinator about this and she said that it was “perfectly fine”</p>
<p>but i did my ENTIRE essay section in pencil b/c i didn’t read the instructions… what do u guys think? i should be okay right?</p>
<p>Isn’t it that the white baptists and white methodists were pro-slavery??? that’s what it says in amsco, so membership in those denominations rose in the south while unitarism dropped because they fervently opposed it.</p>
<p>Onechance to be honest, I do not think you will be fine. My ap teacher told me 500 times, if you do not write your essay in pen it will not even be scored.</p>
<p>Well I’m not neccesarily sure smarts1. I personally wrote that the methodists and baptists allowed blacks to join their churches ( that’s why so many blacks remain in it today), and this lead them to feel angry at the conditions they lived in because under god everyone was equal. I’m not sure if that’s even right but thats kinda what I wrote about.</p>
