Midterm Exam US History I

The history midyear is document-based.  These will be the topics the DBQs will focus on:

American Revolution
documents related to the Stamp Act and Boston Massacre

Ratifying the Constitution -- Common Section 

different documents regarding ratifying the document - you will have to take a position and argue it in a paragraph and base it on what you read.


Problems faced by Washington as President

rise of political parties, neutrality, Bank of the United States, Hamilton and Jefferson issues
mixed in with documents are a couple of multiple choice that will follow-up on the questions.  


Indian Removal/Trail of Tears

This will be the most familiar to you - arguments for and against the removal - what the governments' goals were, what was best for the Cherokee, etc.

There will also be a map section that will look like your Missouri Compromise map - It has letters on general areas of the country that you will have to match up to a statement.
