<p>Yes, I also think it was (A) - that he did not substantiate his claims. He investigated the army unsuccessfully and to his embarressment. And in Direct Hits for US History I remember it said that although Eisenhower’s staff suggested he confront McCarthy, he never did. It was a really tough question nonetheless.</p>
<p>some of the quotes were ridiculously easy, though; especially ones where they just asked you the point of view.</p>
<p>Fair point, that was a very tricky question!</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question and the answer that related to inventions in the Great Plains? Can’t remember the exact wording…</p>
<p>@moreaboutnothing: I KNOW! Some of the questions were ridiculously easy, especially in the beginning.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the first question in the test?</p>
<p>@sivilised: I said steamboats, but it was pretty much just a guess, because most of the others made no sense. One of them said something about a pistol, and I was just like “how the hell…”</p>
<p>@Untitled, if you are referring to the decline in Native American population, I believe the answer is related to diseases brought by European colonists. One of my friends put down weather, I’m not sure which is right.</p>
<p>@Dramamine, do you remember the wording of the question?</p>
<p>I said steamboats as well. I had it narrowed down to the steel plow and steamboats, so I just picked one. From a quick Google search though, I think it’s much more likely the steel plow.</p>
<p>the first question was disease pools; for the midwest question, i picked the steel plow. what was the shift in labor in the 17th century? i said slaves, rather than indentured servants, started working the chesapeake tobacco fields.</p>
<p>I put steel plow as well, but upon [further</a> inspection](<a href=“http://www.greatfallstribune.com/news/stories/20040719/lewisandclark/872774.html]further”>http://www.greatfallstribune.com/news/stories/20040719/lewisandclark/872774.html), it seems as though the ‘revolver’ is possibly the answer. Another tricky question if you ask me…</p>
<p>I put steel plow. I didn’t think it was steamboat because last I heard there wasn’t much water in the great plains…</p>
<p>MoreAboutNothing–I’m pretty sure that’s right. I initially put down the one about indentured servants being imported because of the growing importance of cotton, but then I realized later when another question which mentioned tobacco came up that cotton wasn’t important at that point (1600s), so I changed it to the tobacco one.</p>
<p>are those listed in order of importance, sivilised? the revolver thing seems weaaaaak.</p>
<p>for the great plains question the answer was steel plow. the joseph mccarty one threw me off :/</p>
<p>Yeah I actually think steel plow is the answer now. Damn. Oh well. And yeah, for the 17th century labor one, I said slaves as well.</p>
<p>Let me put something I remember: (could be wrong)
- Horatio Alger writes about-- self made man
- “Is that all?” quote-- Betty Friedan
- muckraker
- “city up on the hill”-- Withrop
- Jonathan Edward-- religious revival (forgot the wording, anyway)
- During American Antislavery War: issue a lot of paper money
- McCarran Internal Security Act-- against communism
- 1970s migration: south and west
- American Antislavery Society: working-class african american
- iron curtain: the very last choice-- something about threat from USSR
- similarity b/t Malcolm X, Garvey, and someone else: i forgot what i put
- Article of Confederation: weak central government
- Federalist paper: (??? anyone remember this question?)
- seventeenth century labor system:
- Jay Treaty: preservation of peace with GB
- Zoot Suit Riot: mexican youth</p>
<p>GUYS, WE SHOULD MAKE A CONSOLIDATED ANSWERS LIST!</p>
<p>I saw the same question later on, OSU! love the feeling when the test vindicates your answer.</p>
<p>@vicky_ltn: I pretty much got all the same answers! except for the 2 or 3 that I left out. For 11, the answer had to do with separatism. 13 was ratification of the constitution. and 14 was slavery I think</p>

<li>Sarah Grimke : Feminist belonging to the women’s movement which is the correct answer.</li>
</ul>
<p>BTW Vicky, are you sure immigration increased most in the South and West? I put that down after much hesitation, knew it was South but was unsure about the West.</p>
