<p>Ahhh… good memories. I remember slipping “The Jazz Singer” into one of my essays on the test last year just because I love that peice of trivia. 
And yes, “The Birth of a Nation” was a phenomenon in the theaters-- riots and everything-- people shooting at the screen and such.</p>
<p>Use the Amsco book… It’s called “United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination”. It isn’t the most popular book, but all I did was read it and do the practice exam from 2001 and I got a 5 on the AP and an 800 on the SAT2… Link below…</p>
