Ok tell me if this would be a good outline for an essay about progressive/populist.

I. Talk about Bacon's Rebellion and how it was a long before precursor to Populist ideas
II. Talk about the silver movement and how many people supported it because it helped poorer folk. Name the issues they supported (women's suffrage, getting rid of monopolies, direct election of senators, and income taxes, and of course free silver).
III. Campaigner was Williman Jenning's Bryan who campaigned on "free silver" that would help farmers in debt and would also lower the power the banks had on the national government.
IV. Talk about how Progressive borrowed ideas from the Populist movement and were encouraged by their achievements. After this talk about what they believed. Their prominent leaders (TR, Taft).
V. Talk about the reason they dissolved which is because they had accomplished all there goals. So in turn there goals actually kind of got rid of them.

Would these 5 topics be good enough for a populist/progressive essay if that is what the topic would be about?

i'm sure there would be other details, but this essay seems like it covers a lot. I think the essay prompt would be either one, not both (or so i hope)

If anyone has a copy of a practice exam, could you send it to rippond@gmail.com?

It would be a much appreciated way to get the good karma flowing!

Okay, I'm sorry. For some reason, I was pairing Gompers with the KOL. My b.

That being said... I still feel like the outline is severely lacking in several areas that are commonly covered in the multiple choice, including:

- Bacon's Rebellion.
- Federalists v. Antifederalists, arguements for and against ratification, Federalist Papers.
- Articles of Confederation
- Revolution of 1800.
- barely talks about Jackson, who, in my opinion, is one of the most important presidents.
- nothing about Reform Movements & artistic movements in the early 1800s

And that's just from a span of about 50 years.

I don't recommend that one should use this site for the sole purpose of cramming or as their main source of information. www.course-notes.org and www.historyteacher.net are better for that. The only value I see in this site is the placement of presidents with significant events.

This test saddens me. I am getting around 75-80% right on the multiple choice. But I just have this gut feeling that the FRQ will be about something that I simply have ZERO idea about. How do you go about even prepping for the FRQs?

I am taking the 1984 one in like two hours.
First, if you're getting 75-80% of the MC questions right, you're in good shape. Remember there are two FRQ's in each section. The odds of being clueless about both is pretty slight. Or do you mean DBQ? Even so, you should be able to analyze the documents and you might find that as you do so something you learned in class will come back to you for outside knowledge.

70% of the MC questions right means that a 5 is a very realistic possibility.

Can anyone trade for any multiple exams? I'll hold my end of the bargain with the 2006 version.
