Hey guys!!!
I hoped this helped for those of you who don’t like taking the test online (or you have someone hogging the computer….(). Also, I sort of copied Michelle’s format because I found it harder to…heh heh…cheat. Anyways, the numbers next to the questions are the page numbers that you can reference back to. You will see that one of the page numbers says 321, that is not a mistake, that is just where the Nat Turner Rebellion is mentioned, therefore showing you that it can’t be the reason (in that time frame) that influenced slavery. Bonus questions are there because….well…they just are (. Anyways, this is word for word from the online practices and I will try to get the Ch. 8 one done ASAP. Good Luck!!! (and don’t forget to SLEEP!! ( lol)
p.s. if you feel anything is wrong, they are in order, so you can look them up online too (
