<p>KS NE became a free state. They were admitted during the Civil War.</p>
<h2>Hey, is it a rarity for people to score above 700’s on the history SAT II?</h2>
<p>The Alger Hiss were tried after Chamberlain of Britain admitted to once working with USSR. He supposedly hid the plans in a pumpkin. He was a spy.</p>
<h2>The Rosenburgs received the death penalty; the electric chair. They were spies.</h2>
<p>1.Name the Muckrackers. (fairly easy).</p>
<p>Are you talking about Hiss, who was convicted by Chambers?</p>
<p>uhhhh… Sinclair, that black lady, a lot of people that TR didn’t like…(come one, do I get credit for naming who came up with the word ‘‘muckraker?’’)</p>
<p>Jacob Riis, Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffans.</p>
<p>o yea, Ida. Good Ole’ Ida.</p>
<p>What was that book Riis wrote ( i know this was answer before, but I don’t want to search through 70 pages)?</p>
<p>And who were the Quids?</p>
<h2>Riis, he didn’t write a book. He used a camera as his medium. He took photographs.</h2>
<p>Quids:They opposed the National Bank and tariff.</p>
<p>O, wow…yeahhhhh</p>
<p>i suck</p>
<p>Ivy’s correct, but the book tm is probably referring to is “How the Other Half Lives,” which depicted the lives of the poor urban class…</p>
<p>Well, another question doesn’t appear to have been asked, so:</p>
<p>What was the first protective tariff established?</p>
<p>This is a fun game. I should’ve joined earlier.</p>
<p>(PS: But Riis published a book of his photography, yes?)</p>
<p>monroe…?</p>
<p>What was the first protective tariff established?</p>
<p>Tariff of 1816… I think that’s the right year. Established to protect the industries that had blossomed during the War of 1812 (and the Embargo which preceded that).</p>
<p>What was the Gadsden Purchase?</p>
<p>US purchased stuff for railroads, i believe in southwest</p>
<p>Not a rarity I don’t think but it is known to be harder than other SATIIs. The curve is fairly nice in my opinion, you can get 5 wrong, omit 3, and still get an 800, at least according to my sparknotes book.</p>
<p>What was the law congress passed over the veto of Johnson that eventually was grounds for his impeachment?</p>
<p>The tenure of office act</p>
<p>What two candidates have run and lost three times in a presidential election (on a major party ticket, i mean)?</p>
<p>Bob Dole of the Republican Party: Ran three times.</p>
<h2>Eugene V. Debs of the American Socialist Party: five times.</h2>
<p>1.What did Ida Tarbell write?
2.Who was Santa Ana?
(fairly easy).</p>
<p>lol, you came up with two different answers than I was thinking of, although I guess they both work. Bob dole was only on the party ticket in 1996 though, right? i don’t know much about him…did he run unsuccessfully for the republican nomination other years? </p>
<p>The two I was thinking of are:
Henry Clay (1824, 1832, 1844)
William Jennings Bryan (1896, 1900, 1908)</p>
<p>On to your questions…
- The Shame of the Cities, I believe
- The ruler of Mexico during the independence of Texas and the Mexican-American war.</p>
<p>Next question:
What president’s foreign policy is referred to as “dollar diplomacy”?</p>
<h2>No, Lincoln Steffans wrote “The Shame of the Cities.” Tardbell wrote “A History on Standard Oil.”</h2>
<h2>Santa Anna’s release inevitably led to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.</h2>
<h2>Dollar Diplomacy was developed by William Howard Taft, but was used by Woodrow Wilson with respect to the Columbian and Panamanian crisis (the building of the canal).</h2>
<p>1.What was the difference between the Hepburn Act and the Mann Elkins Act?
2.What was the tariff of Abominations? What precipitated?</p>
<p>What was the Gadsden Purchase?</p>
<p>America bought the strip of land, south California/Arizona I believe, from the Mexicans for 15 million dollars. Polk overpaid to compensate for Mexican losses. Also, this land was supposed to be used to build a railroad across the southern border of America.</p>
