There are many reasons why I want to be in AP United States History. I really enjoy history classes and was recommended by Mr. Walterbach to take the class. When taking Pre-AP World History freshman year, I felt like I was confident in the class and understood the material. Plus, I received an A for both semesters. I decided that if I could handle Pre-Ap World History and felt that it was easy, I could handle AP United States History. One of the reasons why I chose to take this course is because I heard that you, Mr. Raziq, were a really good teacher. For me to succeed in a class, I need a teacher who knows the units through and through and can help me to understand it. Also, my preferable teacher is both strict and easy-going, which I can …show more content…
With taking the regular United States history class, I feel that I would not be pushed and have any expectations put on me to do my very best, even though I know I would try my hardest on every assignment regardless on the course title. Freshman year was very easy for me and I did not have a lot of work to complete, especially not having multiple assignments each night, but I am ready to receive more work in order to prepare for the next couple of years of high school. Also, having a more challenging class with a heavier workload will prepare me for college and the difficult classes that I will have to take then. The last reason for picking this history course is for the college credit opportunity. After high school, I want to go to a semi-prestigious college and pursue a degree in the medical field. Even though a history course may not completely benefit me in a science-based career, the advanced part of it will help me to succeed in future classes that may be very challenging. College can become very expensive, too, so any way to lower the cost is helpful to me and can benefit me in the
I leave my home and only able to pack what the army will allow, it is almost winter.
1.All of the following statements are true about Herbert Hoover’s responses to the Great Depression EXCEPT:
After the American Revolution, Americans, who had just broken free from the British, completely changed their politics, economy and society. The Founders decided to change how they wanted to run their society, even though, in the end, they went back to a more powerful federal government like Britain. Most people’s daily lives didn’t change much but the principles from the revolution made some try to look for better financial opportunities. Women, slaves, and loyalists were changed a lot in society. Women had more freedoms, some of the slaves were set free, and many loyalists left America. America did not go through much economic change, but it did experience social and political change.
According to historian Eugene Genovese, what motivated southern slave-owners to embrace “a strange form of paternalism” toward their slaves? *** Do you agree with the authors that this paternalistic attitude had the effect of subverting the “racist underpinnings” of the slave society?
a) Due to malaria, lots of people died in Chesapeake. Children barely even made it to adult-
Past failed compromises that dealt with the spread of slavery to new states and territories lead people to believe that more compromise attempts would also fail. Lincoln’s election 1860 created a secession movement that had led to the withdrawal of many southern states. Confederates fired at support ships in 1860 that were attempting to resupply a federal garrison at Fort Sumter.
In 1638, Anne Hutchinson was brought to trial for challenging the ideals of Puritanism, after which she was banished and moved to Rhode Island and later New York where Indians killed her.
Due to America’s expansion in the West, it made a very negative impact on the Native Americans there. For example, numerous amount of native Americans died due to the new diseases that they were being exposed to; such as influenza and smallpox. Additionally, Settlers tooks over large amounts of the Native Americans’ hunting grounds. Due to their inhabitants of the hunting grounds, it chased the animals that they would hunt. Lastly, the Native American population decreased. Seeing all this change being brought on to their land, Native Americans began to resist. America responded by attacking the Shawnee villages on the Tippecanoe River while Tecumseh was away, looking for allies. __________________________________________________________________________________
Students in Colorado marched out of it, Oklahoma’s government doesn’t want to fund it, and there are more horror stories about this curriculum than there are horror movies; however I still want to take AP U.S. History. There are both pros and cons to taking this course, but in the end those positives slightly outweigh the negatives. I want to take AP U.S. History for possible college credit, for a challenge, and simply because I enjoy history.

The Quakers believed in the Bible as their truth. They believed in direct comunication with God himself. This is exprssed by George Fox in the statement, "Christ is come to teach his people himself.” They constantly preached their truth. This causes tension in Pennsylvania, where they resided, because the others in the community got tired of the Quaker’s preaching.

I took AP Environmental Science in my junior year and I loved it because of the quirkiness of my teacher and the how interdisciplinary the subject is. I started to like history in sophomore year when I took AP Human Geography. I loved learning about the ways humans are connected across the world. I thoroughly enjoyed AP U.S. History the following year because my teacher would make lessons especially fun with songs or
would anyone need another history course in their schedule?” These are the thoughts that had
