AP United States Educational Game!!!

<p>english5…u use REA??</p>

<p>List topics that may appear on this year’s dbq/free response. Don’t joke around!! make serious efforts please and dont post if you’re just guessing. I know that some AP USH teachers actually already know this years dbq.</p>

<p>Nothing anybody says could be anything except for a guess. Obviously they’re not going to use the same topic(s) they used last year, so that’s really the only thing that can be eliminated… and that still cannot be eliminated with complete certainty.</p>

<p>whats the difference between the social gospel and the gospel of wealth?</p>

<p>The difference is that this thread is insane.</p>

<p>1824 election was between Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, Calhoun, and another who unfortunately had a stroke. Jackson won the popular vote, but no electoral majority, so it was thrown into the House with Adams and the other guy who was sadly out of the running. Clay, as the Speaker of the House, had a lot of sway. When Adams was elected and Clay became Secretary of State, the breeding ground for future presidents, Jackson called it a “corrupt bargsin” between the two, which essentially plagued Adams’ entire presidency. Because he had won the popular vote, he claimed that the people were cheated out of their rightful president.</p>

<p>As a result, in 1828, Jackson was elected and Adams’ presidency was one of the least effective ever, which is sad, because he was a very powerful Secretary of State for President Monroe.</p>

<p>Gospel of Wealth: Wealthy should consider all revenues in excess of their own needs as “trust funds” to be used for the good of the community. [Andrew Carnegie] </p>

<p>Social Gospel: Protestant movement in the late 19th and early to mid 20th centruy that attempted to apply Christian principles to social problems. [social justice; rival to evangelical & fundamentalist Christianity]</p>

<p>List the order of how the government controlled the economy. (rather easy problem compared to the other CRAZY ones)
Start with the first bank of the US.</p>

<p>yes, does anyone know at least what the topics or the time period could be, or most likely is, for either the DBQ or free response???</p>

<p>Come on guys, we have three days until the AP exam. Let’s surpass the RSI thread and make this the biggest one yet.</p>

<p>Who was Margaret Sanger, and how did she impact society?</p>

<h2>She was active a “proper” form of birth and parenthood; she advocated the construction of the first birth control pill by debating with Pincus.</h2>

<p>Question(s):
1.Who was citizen Genet?
2.Who was an advocate of the first great awakening?
(fairly easy).</p>

<p>Citizen Genet was that French guy who came over and tried to convince the Americans to support the new French govt and get them to join the revolutionary fever. </p>

<p>First great awakening: George Whitefield and John Edwards (Sinner at the Hands of an Angry God!) Unless that was the second.</p>

<p>Q: Who were the Quids?
Q: What was the significance of the Hartford Convention?</p>

<p>The significance of the hartford convention was that it meant the death of the federalist party because they didn’t want the war of 1812 and threatened seccession.</p>

<p>What geographical group approved of the War of 1812, and which didn’t (generalize here)? Why?</p>

<p>People in the Northeast didn’t want to because they viewed it as a potential threat to their economic assets (they were also quite pro-British rather than Pro-French due to the lingering presence of Federalism). However, the new “War Hawks” of the South and newly created Western (east of the Mississippi) states supported the war. These people were generall younger too and were led by the likes of Calhoun from Kentucky (these new breed of politicians would gradually come to replace the old guard and dominate the political landscape).</p>

<p>What is another name for the battle of San Juan Hill? Why did San Juan Hill (in Cuba) come to be used instead of the other name (name the specific media device responsible for this with the correct termnilogy with which it has come to be regarded)?</p>

<p>This is a general comment, not really aimed at anyone in particular. </p>

<p>I think we should consciously try to tone down the difficulty of the questions on this topic. There’s really no need to show everyone that you know some random, arcane detail about American history that nobody really needs to know. </p>

<p>Maybe I’m just terribly inept at APUSH, but I believe keeping the questions to a more reasonable (ie, more likely to be tested material) level - like they were on the first day this topic was posted - will help this topic:</p>

<p>1) More people will contribute, making the topic flow better and keeping it alive longer.
2) It will give us review on the stuff we ACTUALLY NEED TO KNOW, not some arcane facts
3) Even if you feel you do know the “obvious” stuff well, it’s still a great review right before the test, because it will almost certain appear on the exam in some form or another. At any rate, trying to memorize a list of random details will likely be unproductive and futile.</p>

<p>There are plenty of reasonable questions, but it seems that arcane questions pop up every now and then and really kill the topic, because nobody knows (or cares about) the answer.</p>

<p>Agree, disagree?</p>

<p>I agree, and, in response, ask you to ask a question that you feel would be more suitable for this thread.</p>

<p>I agree with Jimmy; for the sake of keeping this thing going at a relatively rapid pace, I give a question…
I don’t know if this is too specific…</p>

<p>the Truman Doctrine was a response to Communist threats where?</p>

<p>I don’t have any particular question in mind. I just wanted to throw out the general idea, so people would consciously think about it before posting a new question.</p>

<p>Also I’m not advocating ridiculously easy questions, because that’s just no fun. =P</p>

<p>Out of thin air, here’s a question: Under which political party did Theodore Roosevelt run for his third term as President?</p>

<p>progressive or bull moose.</p>
