What I learned in APUSH this year

William Henry Harrison was apparently a president that

actually existed. Except, you know, he died. Really early
in his presidency, that is. They... all died, eventually.
When in doubt, choose the answer that is most oppressive
toward native populations.
Ticonderoga was more than a really good pencil brand.
Mosquitos are deadly.
Rachel Carson = environmentalism. Also, she's on every
US History test ever.
Sometimes English class and APUSH intersect and you
suddenly feel really smart and cultured.
Cady Heron was named after Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
She's from New York, though, not Africa.
If it's about the colonial south, just circle the one about
slavery.
Immigration was and apparently always will be a really
fun discussion in politics...
Pre-FDA conditions were super sketchy. We don't talk
about Upton Sinclair.
Bull Moose is not a character from Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Emilio Aguinaldo was on the AP World cards last year
and apparently he's still relevant.
Throw together lots of letters in hopes that it's part of the
New Deal. CCC is not a chocolate chip cookie.
If it's a hose analogy, it's probably WWII.
Mystique is not just an X-Men character. You go, Betty
Friedan.
Was he a jelly donut? The world may never know.
There's a song that goes "city upon a hill" but I can't
remember what it is but I shouted John Winthrop at
iTunes that day.
William Penn was a saucy fellow. Pretty sure thats
literally how it described him.
Walls clearly don't stay. Didn't you watch Pacific Rim?
Salem Trials are so 17th century. Someone tell McCarthy.
Treaty of Paris? You're going to have to be a little more
specific.
The colonists loved cod as much as they loved God.
If you write a haiku in your presidents quiz, you will get
laughs, but not points.
