Reply:Dude, these sound like questions that are at the end of a chapter and that are basically answered chronologically as you proceed through the chapter. Have you tried actually reading or skimming the chapter for the answers??
Reply:Dude, do your own damn homework. Sounds like you're getting ready to spend some time in a U.S. History AP course. If you start off this way, you won't be doing yourself any favors. Do the work like the rest of us had to.
