Does anyone remember the antebellum questions? I knew that "ante" meant "pre," but for some reason I just figured that it was pre Civil Rights Movement...

I can't remember the questions, but if anyone would like to go over them, I'd appreciate it.

antebellum means before the Civil War

Collegehelllp

Right, but there was a question about the significance of the antebellum period, I believe. I think I chose something pertaining to Evangelicals, and I was wondering if I got it right.

Haha I missed the grape question, I put George Meany. I was stuck between him and Chavez. The only other one I didn't really know was "the Century of Dishonor", but based off of the name I put the native american struggle, and it turned out to be right. I vaguelyremember the antebellum question, but I can't remmber what I put or what it was about.

Collegehelllp

Yeah, Century of Dishonor was about American Indians.

Another one I wasn't sure about was the Continental Congress question, by process of elimination, I was left with the delegates choosing the army because it was cheaper, however that didn't seem right.

Do you remember the choices for that Cont. Congress question?

Much harder than the practice tests I took in the subject test books. I'm thinking -8 to -12.

I'm 90% certain labor unions didn't open up to blacks in the early 20th century, and besides, I don't think labor unions would have been a compelling reason to move north. They would move for the jobs or other reasons prior to being integrated into the unions.

Edit: Poisonous, the question asked why the Cont. Congress funded a central army.

Poisonous

I can't remember the question for the continental congress one, what was it about?

I agree, it was more difficult than the ones in the practices tests, but I kind of expected it.

Collegehelllp

The question was something like

Why did delegates at the Cont. Congress favor a central army?

a.) A regular army was attractive to Yeoman farmers.
b.) Colonists had more experience with a unified army than separate militias.
c.) A regular army was cheaper to run than separate militias.
d.) The Colonies wanted to organize themselves like a European army.
e.) Something or other

I chose C. Anyone else?

Edit: Making sure I didn't directly quote the test.

I'm not sure, but I chose microprocessor, and according to wikipedia it was invented in the 1970's. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Poisonous

Ohh I remember the army question. I'm fairly certain the answer is D. Militias were cheaper to run than the regular, and I know that the army was orgaized in a manner that was extremely similar to European fighting forces with brigades, divisions, and garrisons.

EDIT:: Yea it was D:

For the other the microprocessor was definitley the correct answer... Computer science 101 and the others were obvious IMO.

amciw

Microprocessor was clearly the correct answer for that question.
