APUSH Dr. I. IboketteUNIT 4 PRACTICE TESTCh 8: True/False QuestionsThe War of 1812 demonstrated the growth of an American transportation system. Page: 220The first national bank had gone out of existence before the War of 1812. Page: 219The end of the War of 1812 suddenly improved the prospects for American industrial development. Page: 219President Madison believed that federal funding of internal improvements required a constitutional amendment. Page: 221Between 1800 and 1820 the population of America grew very slowly. Page: 222Life in the western territories in the early nineteenth century was almost exclusively one of solitary existence and individual self-reliance. Page: 222Western settlements were generally opened by people who lived in eastern seaboard cities. Page: 222Fur traders consistently relied on Indians to trap, while they served as the middlemen. Page: 223President James Monroe began his administration under what seemed to be remarkably favorable circumstances. Page: 225As President, James Monroe acted to preserve the “Virginia Dynasty.” Page: 225The Federalist Party made a surprising comeback during the presidency of James Monroe. Page: 225Western Americans tended to blame the national bank for the Panic of 1819. Page: 226New management and more specifically new business practices at the Bank of the United States caused several state banks to fail. Page: 226The Missouri Compromise preserved equality between free and slave state representatives in the House of Representatives. Page: 227The Marshall Court strengthened the federal government at the expense of the states. Page: 227The Marshall Court upheld the constitutionality of the Bank of the US. Page: 227The Marshall Court gave its approval to the Bank of the United States even as it ruled that state legislatures could tax the bank. Page: 227The Marshall Court accepted the argument that Indian tribes were foreign nations. Page: 228In Worcester v. Georgia, the Marshall Court upheld the right of a state legislature to regulate Indian affairs. Page: 228The Monroe Doctrine was primarily the work of John Quincy Adams. Page: 228The Monroe Doctrine was consistent with the spirit of nationalism at work in the United States during the 1820s. Page: 229At the beginning of the nineteenth century, opponents of centralization had also often been opponents of economic growth. Page: 229The “tariff of abominations” was most strenuously opposed by the people of New England. Page: 231Prior to running for the presidency in 1824, Andrew Jackson was a military man who had never held elective office. Page: 230In 1824, Andrew Jackson received the most popular votes and electoral votes. Page: 230Both the 1824 and 1828 presidential elections were decided by the House of Representatives. Page: 230-231To many in 1828, the election of Andrew Jackson as president was a victory for the “common man.” Page: 231CH 9: True/False QuestionsJacksonian democracy included a weak challenge to the institution of slavery. Page: 240The “age of Jackson” was less a triumph for the common man than conservatives feared. Page: 236More people gained the right to vote in the 1830s, but requirements for voters to own property remained in place. Page: 236The Dorr Rebellion was generally consistent with Jacksonian principles. Page: 236-237During the Jacksonian era, free blacks could not vote at all in the South, and could hardly vote anywhere in the North. Page: 237One of the major reforms of the Jacksonian period was the introduction of the secret ballot. Page: 237In 1840, the number of adult white males who voted in the presidential election had risen to 80 percent. Page: 237During the Jacksonian period, political parties were regarded as a threat to democracy.Page: 239The Whig Party held the first national party convention. Page: 240As president, Andrew Jackson’s first political target was the Bank of the United States. Page: 240National political conventions were introduced during the Jacksonian period in order to expand the democratic process. Page: 240Andrew Jackson believed a strong federal government would lead to a strong democracy. Page: 240As Andrew Jackson’s vice president, John C. Calhoun became a strong Jackson opponent. Page: 240-241The Peggy Eaton affair improved Andrew Jackson’s relationship with John C. Calhoun. Page: 241The Webster-Hayne debate primarily concerned the issue of the sale of public lands. Page: 242Calhoun’s defense of his doctrine of nullification was directed primarily at the issue of tariffs. Page: 241Andrew Jackson sided with Robert Hayne in the Webster-Hayne debate. Page: 242President Jackson considered those who favored nullification to be traitors. Page: 243President Jackson was a strong advocate for protecting the autonomy of Indian tribes. Page: 243In the early nineteenth century, many whites viewed Indians as “noble savages.” Page: 244President Jackson sought to remove all of the eastern Indian tribes except the “Five Civilized Tribes.” Page: 244In the Black Hawk War, white forces attacked Indians as they surrendered and retreated. Page: 244In Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, the Supreme Court ruled against the Indian tribe. Page: 245Unlike most other tribes, the relocation of the Seminole in Florida was never completed. Page: 246In the 1830s, as a result of removal policies, the United States gained control of more than 100 million acres of Indian lands. Page: 246President Jackson vetoed the Maysville Road because the road was contained in one state and thus not part of “interstate commerce.” Page: 247Opposition to the Bank of the United States came from both “soft-money” and “hard-money” advocates. Page: 248The results of the election of 1832 could be interpreted as a defeat for both Henry Clay and Nicholas Biddle. Page: 248The case of Charles River Bridge v. Warren Bridge could be interpreted as a victory for the forces of democracy. Page: 249Although a political opponent and a supporter of the Bank of the United states, Henry Clay wanted President Jackson to veto the 1932 bill that would recharter the bank.Page: 248The Whigs were more concerned with their political philosophy than with winning elections. Page: 250Jacksonians were more likely than Whigs to favor territorial expansion. Page: 251The Democrats were more likely than Whigs to oppose legislation establishing banks. Page: 251The well-to-do were more likely to support Whigs than Democrats. Page: 251The Panic of 1837 began the worst American depression to that point. Page: 252The “penny press” was more lively and sensationalistic than previous newspapers. Page: 256-257The Washington Star was the first of the new “penny press” newspapers. Page: 256In 1840 the Whigs elected a president for the first time. Page: 254John Tyler saw every cabinet member but one resign together from his administration. Page: 254The Aroostook War was the result of tensions between Canada and Maine. Page: 255The Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 was strongly criticized in the US. Page: 256During the Tyler administration, the United States established diplomatic relations with China. Page: 256Ch 10: True/False QuestionsImmigration contributed little to the American population in the first three decades of the nineteenth century. Page: 262Between 1840 and 1860, the South experienced a decline in its percentage of urban residents. Page: 263Much of the new pre-Civil War immigration went into the growing cities of the United States. Page: 263The great majority of pre-Civil War immigrants came from Ireland and England. Page: 263Most of the pre-Civil War Irish and German immigrants who came to the United States did so as families, as opposed to as single men and women. Page: 265In the pre-Civil War period, turnpikes were regarded as an improvement over canals as a means of transportation. Page: 269The Erie Canal was the greatest construction project Americans had ever undertaken. Page: 270Railroads played a relatively minor role in American transportation during the 1820s and 1830s. Page: 272The development of a railroad system weakened connections between the Northwest and the South. Page: 272One of the first businesses to benefit from the telegraph was the railroads. Page: 274In 1844, Samuel Morse showed off his invention by telegraphing news of Zachary Taylor’s nomination for the presidency over the wires from Baltimore to Washington. Page: 274Until the Civil War, newspapers relied on mail transported by train for the exchange of news. Page: 274By 1860, over half of the manufacturing establishments in the United States were located west of the Mississippi River. Page: 276Many of the free blacks in the North were people who had been skilled crafts workers as slaves and who bought or were given their freedom. Page: 284Given the rapid increase in population, recruiting a labor force was a fairly easy task in the early years of the American factory system. Page: 277The United States military was a center for innovations in new machine tools and industry. Page: 276By 1860, the number of American inventions to receive patents reached nearly 2,000. Page: 276The transition from farm life to factory life in pre-Civil War America was difficult at best and traumatic at worst. Page: 281The paternalistic nature of the Lowell factory system lasted through the Civil War. Page: 282Skilled craftsmen organized trade unions due to the rise of the “factory system.” Page: 283Commonwealth v. Hunt was a Massachusetts Supreme Court case which declared that labor unions were lawful organizations. Page: 283Virtually all of the early craft unions excluded women, even though female workers were numerous in almost every industry. Page: 284In most cities of the East prior to the Civil War, the income gap between rich and poor gradually narrowed. Page: 284Despite contrasts between great wealth and great poverty, there was very little overt class conflict in pre-Civil War America. Page: 286The fastest-growing group in America prior to the Civil War was the working poor. Page: 287During the first half of the nineteenth century, the American birth rate declined. Page: 288For most Americans in the nineteenth century, vacations were rare. Page: 292For most nineteenth-century urban Americans, leisure activities grew more varied. Page: 292The pre-Civil War “cult of domesticity” left women increasingly detached from the public world. Page: 292Public lectures were one of the most popular forms of entertainment in America prior to the Civil War. Page: 292As of the middle of the nineteenth century, the typical citizen of the Northwest was a poor, marginal farmer. Page: 293By the 1840s, much of American grain production had become mechanized. Page: 294The Northwest was the most self-consciously democratic section of the United States, but it was also a relatively conservative part of the country. Page: 294Pre-Civil War rural communities were usually populated by a diverse mix of ethnic groups. Page: 294Prior to 1860, rural Americans rarely had contact with the rest of the world. Page: 294Ch 12: True/False QuestionsAbove all, nineteenth-century reform movements in the United States promoted racial equality. Page: 321The romantic movement originated in American intellectual circles. Page: 322Hudson River School artists felt America had more promise than Europe. Page: 322Many of the Hudson River School artists expressed a nostalgic view of nature. Page: 322James Fenimore Cooper thought Americans should become more like Europeans. Page: 332Herman Melville was less exuberant in his celebration of the human spirit than was Walt Whitman. Page: 323Edgar Allan Poe’s writings focused on the bleak nature of the human spirit and emotions. Page: 323Mark Twain was the leading writer in the southern romantic tradition. Page: 323-324American transcendentalists borrowed heavily from European thinkers. Page: 324Ralph Waldo Emerson was both a minister and a transcendentalist philosopher. Page: 324Henry David Thoreau favored the solitary life, but was publicly against civil disobedience. Page: 324Both Brook Farm and New Harmony were essentially failures as communal experiments. Page: 325The Oneida Community sought to redefine gender roles and engage in “free love.” Page: 326Both the Oneida Community and the Shakers were committed to celibacy. Page: 326Like other mid-nineteenth-century experiments in social organization, Mormons believed in human perfectibility. Page: 328The Mormons were forced to abandon their settlement at Nauvoo due to persecution from neighbors. Page: 328The search for social discipline was particularly clear in the battle over prohibition laws, which pitted established Catholics against new Protestants immigrants, to many of whom drinking was an important social ritual and an integral part of the life of their communities. Page: 329Evangelical Protestantism was at odds with the reform spirit of the pre-Civil War period. Page: 329Nearly a quarter of the population of New Orleans died in 1833 as a result of a cholera outbreak. Page: 329-330Sylvester Graham encouraged people to eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat. Page: 330The study of the human brain through phrenology was the origin of modern psychology. Page: 330Most early nineteenth-century American physicians opposed efforts to regulate the profession. They considered the licensing of physicians to be “undemocratic.” Page: 331By the 1850s, the principle of tax-supported elementary schools had been established in every state. Page: 332By 1860, public schools in the United States had failed to produce significant improvement in education. Page: 332By the beginning of the Civil War, the United States had one of the highest literacy rates of any nation of the world. Page: 332Horace Mann believed public education should promote both democracy and social order. Page: 332Reformers of the pre-Civil War period thought it was possible to rehabilitate criminals through solitary confinement. Page: 333Reformers believed the concept of Indian reservations was beneficial to both whites and Indians. Page: 333-334By the 1840s, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott sought to apply the equality of treatment they received in the abolition movement to all aspects of female life. Page: 336The Seneca Falls “Declaration of Sentiments” included a demand that women have the right to vote. Page: 336The American Colonization Society called for the gradual freeing of slaves and monetary compensation to slaves’ former owners. Page: 337Many blacks rejected the American Colonization Society’s offer to return them to Africa. Page: 337In the North, abolitionists were a small, dissenting minority of the total population. Page: 337William Lloyd Garrison was assassinated for his advocacy of abolitionism. Page: 338William Lloyd Garrison was a harsh critic of the United States government. Page: 338Amistad was an American slave ship originally destined for Florida. Page: 341The antislavery Liberty Party never campaigned for outright abolitionism. Page: 341Americans in the free-soil movement sought to open up sections of the West to blacks.Page: 341The events depicted in Uncle Tom’s Cabin were taken from news accounts.
