<p>I’ll concede that it’s most likely the right answer, but it doesn’t change the fact that, when the Shaysites attacked the armory, they meant to overthrow the government. It’s probably right somehow because it wasn’t an initial aim but that really wasn’t the question, and it’s not a correct answer so much as it is the least wrong answer. One could even argue seizing courthouses is an attempt to overthrow government in itself.</p>

<p>But whatever, I had accepted that I was wrong until someone mentioned their teacher saying it was to overthrow the government. I’m more skeptical of the “local governments” and “British abolition” answers anyways.</p>

562

<p>Sorry dude… My CC book actually said farmers were NOT intending to overthrow the government. It seems like they were too overthrowing the government, but the consensus of our historians says that’s a bit extreme and there were no desires to overthrow it.</p>

563

<p>Well then why did they attack the Springfield Armory? I apologize if I sound like I’m in denial (I’ve almost no doubt I was wrong), the question just annoys me because my APUSH teacher taught us that the rebellion was crushed after they attacked the armory because they were next going to Boston to overthrow the govt. The REA book also was way too perfunctory in outlining it.</p>

<p>EDIT: Also, what’s CC stand for? Maybe I should use that to study. :p</p>

564

<p>It sucks I know. History can be interpreted differently sometimes, but as for me, I just went by my prep book: REA’s Crash Course. And the book does gather the previous questions asked.</p>

565

<p>I took the APUSH MC from the released 2006 the day before the subject test, and I could’ve sworn that there were at least 5 identical questions/answers. Does that usually happen?</p>

566

<p>i saw two people took sunday test, and ive never heard of it.</p>

<p>what is it? are the questions totally diff? or what?</p>

567

<p>CC is Crash Course from REA.</p>

568

<p>Thus the people of Worcester and other interior counties were for two years ground between two millstones, the courts and the jails, with nothing but bankruptcy and imprisonment staring them in the face. To soldiers who had so lately vindicated their rights by their swords and had learned for seven years to treat the word “traitor” as a by-word, it was no hard affair to fly to arms, <strong><em>not to overthrow their government but simply to temporarily stop the courts in granting judgments in civil causes.</em></strong></p>

<p>btw if you’re taking apush and dont want to study go here lol:

569

<p>wasnt there intercolonial one…and the answer was political parties…?</p>

<p>and seneca falls one…wasnt that economic exploitation</p>

570

<p>The intercolonial one was pamphlets and newspapers</p>

<p>I agree with you that it was economic exploitation, but the weak consensus seems to be it was the one concerning patronage and encouragement. Nobody’s quite sure though. Some also insist it was the double standard choice.</p>

571

<p>for this question: abolished slavery = 13th amendment, was there 14th ammendment as one of the choices?</p>

572

<p>^ Don’t believe so and even if it was, the 14th amendment did not abolish slavery, it just broadened the definition of US citizenship to include slaves and gave them all the rights given to citizens.</p>

573

<p>I answered all of the questions and got 13 wrong (based on the compiled answers posted a couple of pages ago) – Is that still a 750+ if you take the fact that this test was scored harshly when administered back in Oct 2008 into consideration?
Thanks!</p>

574

<p>@swimstar, I am in the same boat as you are, although I didn’t count all my incorrect choices. But it’s around 13 or less, less I hope. I’m sure that’s 750+, well according to the SAT Official Subject Study Guide.</p>

575

<p>@kimhm92 I don’t wanna be a ******, but the curve is going to be really harsh for this test. (probably out of 800)</p>

576

<p>ok…so what’s the answer for the continential army one…? european style or cheap…?
and somebody…maybe an updated list please?</p>

577

<p>@missprincess – I’m pretty sure it’s European-style. Cheap answer doesn’t make sense because a continental army seems to me like it’d be more expensive to raise than just state militias; I might be wrong though.</p>

<p>@gadgor – what do you mean, the curve is going to be out of 800? And I thought curves varied each year.</p>
