Caution: What’s Different about Any Unit Test with
6 Chapters
- With
a test of 25 questions, that means on average each chapter only gets 4
questions. Now, yes there are multiple questions in each set.
- To
be honorable, the instructor will focus on facts that you will need the
rest of your life (at least from this instructor’s experiences).
- It
can’t be everything so approach it that way and look at the next section
This link cover how
you must use the equivalent of endnotes and cite each fact
- The
test will only cover 2 battles—Saratoga and Yorktown. If you look at them,
you will know why.
- You
need to notice vulnerabilities of the Patriots and British.
- You
need to understand the vulnerabilities of the Articles of Confederation
and think that through
- You
need to notice the state constitutions and the state government, what
happens with slavery, and what happens with—something new—freedom of
religion
- You
need to understand the peace terms.
FYI: The textbook author says it is surprising that the British gave the
colonies the land not to the Appalachians, but to the Mississippi.
My graduate course work included the British side of this war. One test of
meaning is to ask yourself what would have happened if the British hadn’t
made the decision to give the land (and all those Indians) to the new
United States from the Appalachians to the Mississippi?
Hmmmmm? The British would have been involved in defending the Indians or
just fighting the Amercans who were trying move into that new land year
after blood-spilled year.
The British prevented a problem. If you look to the rest of the history of
the British in this Unit, they walked away from Indian issues again and
again (at the peace treaty and again after the War of 1812. This is no
surprise.
- You
need to notice Shays’s Rebellion—and later the Whiskey Rebellion. What do
they tell you?
- You
need to notice the Northwest Ordinances on slavery and on how they avoid
territories being angry about being colonies by giving them an orderly
process to become states. What is the clever solution? Do notice Thomas
Jefferson’s role—one that is contrary to a slaveholder but not for someone
who supports ordinary white people’s success—and that is a wild idea for
that time.
- You
need to notice what happens to white male voters, women, Native Americans,
and slaves.
- You
need to focus on the new structures that come out of this period,
including the National Bank and tariffs and the 3 branches of government
set in place. The last part of the chapter does a decent job on those.
- You
need to notice how the 1st 2 administrations (Washington and
John Adams) deal with things.
- You
need to notice Jefferson’s administration. What was expected and what
actually happened?
- You
need to notice the mess with War of 1812, but notice most what are the
trends that follow.
- Continue
to notice what happens to white male voters, women, Native Americans, and
slaves.
- You
are covering trends such as n the economy, foreign policy, expansion west.
- You
need to notice what happens to white male voters, women, Native Americans,
and slaves.
- You
are also encountering such as the Missouri Compromise, the Monroe
Doctrine, the way the bank issues and tariff issues matter, the Panic of
1843 and how it happened.
- The
link I provide you in each of these chapters in Figuring It Out (Learning
is More Than Memorizing) can help you see
the changes.
Caution: With the
Missouri Compromise, you must look at the map provided in Figuring It Out.
Notice that most of the Louisiana Purchase
is even with the Northwest Territory (free since 1787!).
Notice as the results of the
decision to forbid slavery in the rest of the territory above the border of
Missouri how many Free states there will be? The Missouri Compromise is
temporary solution.
You also must read the
primary by John Quincy Adams. Boy, did he catch onto the present and future.
Notice what he says Calhoun is thinking.
You may take exams only 1
time; therefore, the password is
onetimeonly – no spaces and no capital letters.
