<p>“Brian, there’s a message in my alphabet soup! It says oooooh”
“Peter, those are cheerios”</p>
<p>Here are a couple</p>
<p>AAA: farming subsidies (ie, paid farmers to not farm, to raise prices of agricultural goods)</p>
<p>TVA: Tennessee Valley Authority, basically authorized a government-owned electric dam, so the government could learn how best to regulate them in the future and to provide immediate power to residents</p>
<p>Now I’m kind of hungry</p>
<p>Plus, there was this whole feud between Henry Cabot Lodge and Woodrow Wilson. Lodge was an isolationist, and the head of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs (may have a different name, but you get the concept). When Wilson went to Paris in 1919, he didn’t take a single Republican in his negotiating party. When he returned, Lodge was out for blood, and their bickering (including Lodge’s 14 Reservations, a slap in the face to Wilson’s 14 Points) led to the treaty’s defeat, especially when Wilson ordered that the Democratic Senators vote down Lodge’s modifications to the treaty … by accepting only all or nothing, Wilson got nothing of his beloved brainchild</p>
<p>Saturday Massacre was on a practice multiple REA test. Anyways I think Nixon fired the special prosecutor for the watergate case. But the attorney general didn’t follow his command so he fired him too.</p>
<p>Oh yeah… a whole bunch of Nixon firings. We JUST talkeda bout that in class too.</p>
<p>you know…the REA tests are harder than the Princeton Review ones…which one is closer to the real test?</p>
<p>What is the spoils system, and who created it?</p>
<p>FERA = another piece of the alphabet soup…</p>
<p>lol Jimmy @ that Family Guy quote…</p>
<p>I knew I’d heard of it … yeah, I remember that now
What were the Camp David Accords, and what did they accomplish?</p>
<p>Are they? How do you know if it is harder?
peace between Israel and egypt.
Carter persuaded them to sign a peace treaty i think.</p>
<p>spoils system is when the President, upon election rotates the members of the executive branch…
don’t know who created it…Andrew Jackson coined the term and advocated it as beneficial for democracy.</p>
<p>What is the spoils system, and who created it?</p>
<p>“You’re my buddy, I give you a political job.”</p>
<p>I think Jackson created it</p>
<p>the spoils system aka “rotation in office” was used not only to bring in fresh blood to gov jobs, but also to reward political supporters with employment … Instated by Jackson, later caused controversy in the Gilded Age (Pendleton Act)</p>
<p>well…I just found them to be a lot harder…I have both books…</p>
<p>well, they weren’t really treaties, they were just sort of … discussions that broke ground for later peace talks and formal treaties</p>
<p>why the heck is it called the Gilded Age? (yes I know Mark Twain coined the term but…it seems sort of random to me)</p>
<p>can anyone explain that better than me? I’m not sure I’m even clear on exactly what they were … I just know they were seps in the direction of peace in the Middle East, despite the later conflict between those two very countries</p>
<p>…if anything it’ll just be a multiple choice anyway…</p>
<p>Something that is Gilded is shiny, pretty, and gold on the outside … the Gilded Age was an age of industrialization, prosperity, and an economic boom (pretty and shiny on the surface), unfortunately, corruption and theft came hidden</p>
<p>this thread has been great … but my test tomorrow must prevail … I will pick it up again tomorrow … later y’all</p>
