city contracts for his own benefit. He was sent to jail because he was convicted for fraud and extortion. Ulysses S. Grant also used liquor funding for his own personaly gain and stole a great amount of money from over priced taxes.
The most of the questions dealing with reconstruction and the aftermath of it were pretty easy. The BCR'S dealing with the struggles and challenges of blacks were also kind of simple. Then again Reconstruction has been something that we focused on for a while.
Another part of the test dealt with the expansion of the country west or "manifest destiny", as well as the settlers of the west. Those questions were also very simple, we studied a lot and even played Jeopardy to help prepare for this test.
Our test was also about the industry of the railroad boom, as well as the oil and steel company advancement in the industry. People like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and Vanderbilt.
For the most part our test was OKAY...and even if you didn't study the night before, the studying we did in class should have helped educate you for the test.
HOPE WE ALL DID WELL!!!!
