<p>Anyone else use A People & A Nation as their textbook?</p>

<p>By the way AMSCO is like a sparknotes for the course. It’s great.</p>

<p>Holy **** tim739 you’re rereading the American Pageant? I switched to reading AMSCO 2 weeks into my AP class.</p>

<p>My teacher let me borrow AMSCO and it was pretty good. Too bad I lost the book lol</p>

<p>What on earth was the Granger movement?</p>

<p>[Sorry guys I ask too many questions]
Another Barron’s question…</p>

<p>On the basis of the neutrality legislation in the 1930s, one could generalize that Congress acted on the assumption that the best way to keep out of war was to</p>

<p>(A) seek allies among nations of similar aims
(B) discourage agressors by threatening economic reprisals
(C) maintain superior land and naval strength
(D) restrict loans to and trade with belligerents
(E) support international organizations designed to prevent war</p>

<p>I don’t know!</p>

<p>B?? 10 char</p>

<p>The Grange was an organization founded by Kelley… it was a farmers’ fraternal organization that encouraged farm families to unite for common economic, social, and political well-being. I kind of thought of it as the beginning of the Populist party.</p>

<p>D? I think Congress might have passed a few neutrality acts that forbade direct trading with belligerents and warned against travel on foreign ships.</p>

<p>I think the answer is D. Doesn’t the book have the answer?</p>

<p>A and E don’t make much sense and the 30s was the depression so I think B and C can be ruled out. So I’ll go with D. But really I have no idea. lol.</p>

<p>Personally, I would have went with D (aka lend lease / cash carry)</p>

<p>I’m thinking E might make sense, because Cash and Carry and Lend-Lease kind of contradict D.</p>

<p>Does anyone have the answer??</p>

<p>Yeah I do it’s D sorry shizzle :frowning:
I wanted to see if I knew the answer/get help before referring to the answer.</p>

<p>Oh the answer explanation:
D the Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1937 placed an embargo on the sale or transportation of munitions to belligerents and forbade loans to nations at war.</p>

<p>lol it’s alright. </p>

<p>Looks like I’ve got some cramming to do as that was a somewhat educated guess…</p>

<p>didnt the seneca falls convention
also address contraceptives/drugs to prevent pregnency?</p>

<p>something like that?</p>

<p>whats a interstate commerce?</p>

<p>and what did the 1st GREAT A AND SECOND GREAT A stress?</p>

<p>thankk you</p>

<p>1st and 2nd Great Awakenings stressed a close relationship with God, repenting immediately for one’s sins + emotion was very common I guess…</p>

<p>Interstate commerce is the trading that takes place between two states.</p>

<p>I don’t think Seneca Falls addressed that issue. Actually Margaret Sanger was the one who advocated for birth control.</p>

<p>oh ya it was margaret</p>

<p>okay so when did she talk bout this?</p>

<p>i know it was during some famous meeting, im pretty sure she didnt say this at her house or something lol</p>

<p>hmmm (uhh confused)</p>

<p>mcvcm92 so both wanted to abandon the radical views and lean toward emotion?</p>

<p>well whats the difference between the 1st and 2nd? im pretty sure they were different</p>

<p>oh yah and does impeachment mean breaking the rules (vocab question =p)</p>

<p>She opened clinics in lower east side New York. Idk if there was a specific name of these meetings. It was just to educate women about contraceptives. She kept getting arrested though lol</p>

<p>if anyone can get this, i will be throughly impressed. Ive been looking around everywhere and asking everyone, but nobody knows</p>

<p>During 1865-1900 era, the idea of silver coinage was popular i.e Bland-allison Act.</p>

<p>Farmers and workers favored this proposition because it raised the the prices of farm products, resulted in easy credit and favored debtors. My quesiton is, why did coining based on silver create a raise in farm products, easy credit and favored debtors?</p>
