The official 2009 APUSH after exam discussion thread

<p>^ No, it’s usually the majority of the documents, so one more than half.</p>

<p>Okay. Thanks for the information. I got a little nervous there.</p>

<p>So for the people that chose to talk about japanese and african americans…what did u guys write about for african americans? </p>

<p>for japanese i talked about internment camps, kormastu (or whatever his name is) vs the united states case, and pearl harbor</p>

<p>Oh btw, the 48 hours are up right…? Just trying to make sure</p>

<p>^Yeah.</p>

<p>I seriously googled “Jewish-Americans WWII” and I have found hardly anything. So hopefully, my reader knows hardly anything, too! hahaha</p>

<p>2 and 5 on the FRQs as well… a few questions</p>

<p>2- I used the Proc of 1763, Intolerable Acts (the taxes, and the navigations acts), and the virtuial rep theory… i did a cause and effect essay on how that led up to reistance, etc. and eventually to the revolution… was this alright?</p>

<p>5- i was burnt on this… i chose Mexican Americans and Japanese Americans</p>

<p>DBQ- loved it… and my teacher says never to cite the documents</p>

<p>MC was harder than any practice test i took</p>

<p>^Sure, that’s basically what I used. As long as you answer the question clearly and concisely with correct evidence you should be fine.</p>

<p>I actually chose 2 and 4, though I’m having a distinctly hard time remembering what 4 was about.</p>

<p>2 was pretty decent. A lot of Acts and the like to use.</p>

<p>DBQ wasn’t too bad. Totally forgot a few crucial facts though. Just blanked. Meh.</p>

<p>For the African Americans, I wrote about the Migration to the North, discrimination in the work place (resulting in FDR’s order that no discrimination can occur in defense areas), I also wrote about segregated units in the army, and how they were forced to fight for liberties they did not entirely (key word) already have.</p>

<p>For the Japanese, I mentioned Pearl Harbor, Korematsu v. United States case, relocation camps, Nisei and Issi (I didn’t spell the second one right on the test… of course), and how the relocation deprived the US of ambassadors to smooth out the USA-Japan tensions.</p>

<p>IDK about the Mexican-Americans besides the braceros program and the Jewish-Americans? What was that about? I almost wrote about them, but I definitely didn’t know a thing about them.</p>

<p>Ok, so I’m pretty sure I messed up when I was using one of the documents, Apparently Doc. A was about a British lord offering freedom to those who fought against the colonists? I’m not entirely sure. But I used it as slaves were forced to fight on the side of the colonists. It was only half of a sentence, but do you think it will severely hurt my score?</p>

<p>I wrote 4 as a contrast between African Americans and Japanese, so I made sure not to mention the segregation of the army. Instead, I wrote about how blacks got newfound economic power while japanese became the ones being discriminated against.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>How many other Docs did you use?</p>

<p>All of them. I’m not sure, of course, but I think the rest were used correctly.</p>

<p>Zoot Suits and Zoot Suit Riots for Mexicans
I totally blanked on that for the test. AND I forgot the Korematsu case. Wah.</p>

<p>for #2 on the frq, how bad is it if i said that the sugar act was passed in 1763?</p>

<p>If anyone is having a hard time remembering the prompts, they are posted here: <a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board;

<p>2 and 5.</p>

<p>Did anyone choose 3?</p>

<p>i did 3…i knew enough to fill up a page, then made the rest up</p>

<p>for #5 i did japanese & african americans
and i also included the sense of nationalism during WWII that perpetrated racism toward the japanese with propaganda…as japan was us’ enemy…
but nationalism “brought the african americans in”- they contributed to the war effort…war materials production & combat…and they were united with white americans against a common cause</p>

<p>I don’t remember what I wrote for African Americans in essay 5. It was one of the worst essays of my life.</p>
