May 2010 - U.S. History

<p>anyone know something about Berlin airlift?</p>

<p>I thought it was immediate relief, so “providing support for a potential problem”, or something along those lines…</p>

<p>wait did the gulf of tonkin one include the phrasing unsubstantiated?</p>

<p>ah, i got the jazz one wrong.
the berlin airlift answer had something to do with soviet blockade.</p>

<p>^reduce effects of the blockade</p>

<p>It was resolving the blockade of West Berlin.</p>

<p>i agree with gramster</p>

<p>also, does anyone know what the curve on this test is like? i’ve heard you can get 10 wrong and still get an 800</p>

<p>yeah, what was the 1815 south one? slaves or cotton?</p>

<p>the answer to the gulf of tonkin one was A, something like johnson’s agressiveness got more money for the war.</p>

<p>I don’t think that Shays’ Rebellion answer is correct. It definitely was an effort to overthrow the government, wasn’t it? I put the answer about releasing more paper money.</p>

<p>@blugblug, there was a choice with cotton?</p>

<p>Yeah, I think I put paper money too. I remember Daniel Shays having some sort of vendetta against the Massachusetts governor or something of that sort. Can anyone substantiate this?</p>

<p>Yes, the two choices were Mass production of cotton in textile mills and A slave labor system dedicated to agricultural products for an international markets.</p>

<p>gramster read this [Shays</a>’ Rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shays’_Rebellion]Shays"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shays’_Rebellion)
They didn’t seek to overthrow the govenrment - wanted paper currency to reduce the debt</p>

<p>Jazz was easy to play. 85-90% sure</p>

<p>but yastoopid did the answer choice say that johnson used unsubstantiated claims in order to gain authority to go into vietnam…that threw me off a little</p>

<p>Guys…it was Africans for the immigration question…SLAVE TRADE ENDED during the 19th century…thus, no immigration from Africa.</p>

<p>I also believe it was a Chinese Immigrant in California…“gold” was the giveaway for me…</p>

<p>Double standard answer for that question with women.</p>

<p>Why isn’t steamboat not for east coast trading?</p>

<p>Why isn’t traffic congestion the answer to streetcar.</p>

<p>I thought Puritans wanted a society for religious dissenters or whatever.</p>

<p>I don’t remember the Declaratory Act quote…</p>

<p>Shays attacked the Springfield armory so that he could overthrow the government, didn’t he?</p>

<p>nah man, Jazz was used to rebel from normal culture. </p>

<p>Chinese immigrant was the husband panning gold one.</p>

<p>@bgrlqn, yeah i think it might have. his claims were slightly exaggerated.</p>
