U.S. History SAT II Discussion

<p>yea basicaslly........ that the Confederacy was weak</p>

<p>oo wat was the one w/ that whole mess of mexico things under Wilson? We didnt eliminate immigration and we didnt declare war... but we sent a naval force and an expeditionary force.</p>

<p>Sound familiar?</p>

<p>do ya'll remember the "lowell munufacturer" one. or something like that? it was asking about what type of people they recruited for the plant??? something like that.</p>

<p>i put young women</p>

<p>definetly young women.. was on the AP test</p>

<p>yeah i remember that! so ne clue abt the mexico one?</p>

<p>Wiki - "The Lowell system or Waltham-Lowell system, named after Francis Cabot Lowell, was a paternalistic textile factory system of the early 19th century that relied almost exclusively on young, unmarried women laborers and purported to increase efficiency..."</p>

<p>i also put young women. i remember it from class and the AP. for the mexico one i put the expeditionary forces and naval incursion. a complete guess.</p>

<p>WIKI: By then, Polk had received word of the Thornton affair, and added this to the rejection of Slidell as the casus belli. A message to Congress on May 11, 1846 stated that Mexico had "invaded our territory and shed American blood upon the American soil". A joint session of Congress overwhelmingly approved the declaration of war. Democrats overwhelmingly supported the war. 67 Whigs voted against it on a key amendment, but on the final passage only 14 Whigs voted no, including then representative Abraham Lincoln. The United States declared war on Mexico on May 13, 1846, and Mexico declared war on 23 May.</p>

<p>I think its the immigration on mexico.</p>

<p>Do u guys remember the question about which group of americans were against declaring war against Britian in 1812? was it the republicans?</p>

<p>merchants didnt want the war of 1812 to protect shipping interests</p>

<p>btw, the mexican one was NOT talking about the mexican war. it was talking about the whole mess of revolutions in mexico during the taft/wilson administrations... when we never FORMALLY went to war</p>

<p>For the "where do states use their money" I put that the states expended most of their wealth on the parts of the economy that were suffering. It could be wrong, but I was thinking of Keynesian economics.</p>

<p>ok, just to vent. i took those damn collegeboard tests, and i got a fricken 730, and then 750 on the practice ones. and now, i took the damn history test today, i omitted like 12, and then reading this topic, i know for a fact i got at least 10 wrong, and thats like a score of about 680ish. *** this sux.</p>

<p>A 680 seems pretty high for that many wrong...HOW is this scaled? It's so confusing.</p>

<p>What might my score be with omitting 8 and getting about 5 wrong?</p>

<p>iamnervous.... i put the same answer - im pretty sure thats right ...</p>

<p>was this tests harder than usual?</p>

<p>Can someone compile all the questions on this test along with what we think their respective answers are like we did last year? It would greatly help everyone on this board.:)</p>

<p>I second Evil<em>Asian</em>dictator.</p>

<p>why dont you do it?</p>

<p>so...just curious. score estimates? skipped 10, 5 wrong?</p>

<p>770 i would say, looking at the chart on the previously administered test.</p>

<p>wow, this test sounds much worse than the May one. i took that one the day after the APUSH exam, and got an 800. i don't think i could have gotten an 800 yesterday.</p>
