No, it was the five civilized tribes, which were the americanized tribes around the Jacksonian era.

The U.S. bombed Cambodia because the North Vietnamese built supply lines through the neighboring country. I don't remember that question on the test, but I'm almost positive that is the reason why Cambodia, and later Laos, were targeted by the Nixon administration.

Yeah, the Cambodia question was about cutting supply lines.

I always get confused between the Five Nations and the Five (Civilized) Tribes, but I'm sure the other option was the Five Tribes.

Phew, so I've gotten a total of 3 wrong so far, not bad.

Was the union quote made by the IWW? I figured that no other group would want the destruction of capitalism.

I really don't even know why I took SAT U.S. History. My school only offers IB, and the entire 20th century is covered during senior year. Had to study on my own for half of the material I wish AP US history was offered.

Yeah the quote was from Int. Workers...
IWW = Debs = socialism = capitalism:evil
Kind of.

I was completely shellshocked when I realized I would have to take the USH SAT II! No studying since AP exam sophomore year = at least 10 wrong so far.

My school breaks up AP U.S. into two years; sophomore year covers modern North American history to 1877, and then junior year goes from the end of Reconstruction to 2008.

I realize that "antebellum" is prior to the civil war ("ante" - before + "bellum" war, basic Latin :P), but I don't think the question about internal improvements referred to that period.

I could easily be wrong, though.

I knew that "ante" meant pre or before, but since I've taken Spanish all my life, the closest word that I could relate to bellum was bella, or beautiful haha.

I feel happier now.

That curve is ridiculously generous.

Does anyone remember that question about political parties? I don't remember the exact wording, but I think I ended up incorrectly putting down the Whigs.
