SICK MY DUCK AUSTRALIA!!!!!!! 4. Many say the War of 1812 was an unnecessary war. Your view, please?

Your support your position very well.

7. Identify the figures in the cartoon, provide an approximate date, and describe the likely view point of the cartoonist.

The figures in the cartoon are (from left to right), England, the Czar of Russia, and America.

I would say it's from about 1813-1820. I'd say that the view point of the cartoonist is that America should not trust other countries.

Good analysis. See model answers also.

8. Describe something that surprises you about the map of the U.S in 1840.

I'm surprised that England still claimed land in North America (they had just lost two wars for it).

Right, and excellent point about how England lost two wars already and yet still claimed land here!

H1. I think we overpaid concerning the Louisiana Purchase, and that it was anarchist also. Do you agree?

Yes, I do agree that we overpaid ( we did pay 11.25 million dollars for it), and that it was unconstitutional.

Excellent.

H3. Is it wrong for a politician to cut a deal with another politician like the “corrupt bargain” between Adams and Clay?

No, I do not think it's wrong, it's a stupid thing to do, but not wrong.

OK.

H4. It is said that Andrew Jackson was the first modern president. Why, and would you have voted for him?

People say that Andrew Jackson was the first modern president, because :

a) His use of the spoils system.

No, I would not have voted for him if I knew of his personality.

Superb!
