May 2010 - U.S. History

<p>I actually thought this test was harder than the practice tests in the blue book. :confused: I got at most 7 wrong, possibly 5 or 6 if I’m correct that not all of the consolidated list is accurate, so I’m right on the edge of an 800. This is sooo nerve-wracking!</p>

<p>i didnt omit any but i definitley didnt get more than like 8 wrong. if thats not an 800 im gona go to collegboard and f them up</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>yea i agree with xckyle93. thers no way curves are predetermined bc the whole point is that theyre based on how everyone did that specific month.
hopefully this curve isa lot nicer than that oct test. also we can choose which SATII’s to send right? so thers really no point in cancelling even if i think i did badly</p>

<p>Still not convinced the Lewis & Clark question wasn’t the Indian tribes answer. I don’t think the choice specifically specified treaties, just the forming of relations, which they certainly did:</p>

<p>“Thomas Jefferson’s instructions to Meriwether Lewis in 1803 make clear that establishing relations with Western tribes stood out as an important goal of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Hence, part of Lewis and Clark’s mission involved the implementation of United States Indian policy.”</p>

<p>Furthermore, while the trip definitely DID strengthen US claims to Oregon, what did it do to back up our future claims to any Spanish territories? The answer did say British AND Spanish lands.</p>

<p>OKAY GUYS, HERE,</p>

<p>SHAY DID TRY To overthrow the government. i just chekced with my teacher. He said same thing for all the other stuffs that were being argued here, such as river traffic, maize and corn, but he said shay had intension to overthrow the government.</p>

<p>he also said that the purpose for colony to form a formal army was to feel united and they felt that they should have an army since they were going against Britain.</p>

<p>he is VERY credible person. like VERY.</p>

<p>^ so what would the answer to the shay question be?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Spain did not relinquish claims to the western portion of the Louisiana Purchase and Oregon Territory until the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819.</p>

<p>the debt prison, lack of paper money, taxes, overthrow gorv.</p>

<p>so what is the other one left over?</p>

<p>Is there some kind of report you can order (as you can in the real SAT), that tells you how many you got wrong, omitted, etc.? Or do they just give you that automatically?</p>

<p>does anyone remember exactly what the declaratory act question and choices were as well as the slaves rebelling against their masters question?</p>

<p>oh and also was the compromise of 1877 an EXCEPT question?</p>

<p>Hey guys, I think we ought to change the Shays answer to paper money. It was caused by excessive inflation which had been created by a supply of paper money that already wasn’t backed up by specie. It just wouldn’t make logical sense to ask for more paper money.</p>

<p>My American Pageant textbook says:
Led by captain daniel shays, a veteran of the revolution, these desperate debtors demanded cheap paper money, lighter taxes, and a suspension of property takeovers.</p>

<p>they did not want to overthrow the government. done. period.</p>

<p>I don’t see how it’s “done. period.” I think it’s a stupid question without a correct answer and it should be nullified. He probably did want paper money, but it’s completely untrue that he didn’t want to overthrow the govt.</p>

<p>

Shay’s Rebellion was not caused by excessive inflation in any way… In fact, those who participated in the rebellion would have loved to have excessive inflation resulting from an abundance of paper money. How does it not make logical sense to ask for more paper money? Anyone with rudimentary knowledge of economics understands that debtors gain from inflation.</p>

<p>^^ yeah exactly throughout history whenever farmers protested one of their goals has always been pumping more money to inflate the price of their crop.</p>

<p>Well regardless, the Shays’ Rebellion question was what the farmers did NOT sought to, and it was definitely to overthrow the government. It says it explicitly in the CC.</p>

<p>By the way, CC helped a lot on number of questions.</p>

<p>yeah I thought that issue was settled a few pages back but apparently not</p>

<p>Well there’s a lot of disputes here. I myself proved to be ignoramus by saying and hoping that the duck and cover manual was preparedness for Korean WAr. What was I thinking… I only looked at 1950 and thought of Korean WAr. F me…</p>
