ĐỀ THI G Ồ M 80 CÂU (T Ừ QUESTION 1 ĐẾ N QUESTION 80)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions

The initial contact between American Indians and European settlers usually involved trade, whereby Indians acquired tools and firearms and the Europeans obtained furs These initial events usually

pitted Indian tribes against each other as they competed for the European trade and for the lands

containing fur-producing animals When the furs had been depleted, the Europeans began a campaign to obtain the lands the Indians occupied The Indians often formed confederations and alliances to fight back the Europeans; however, the Indians’ involvement in the white people’s wars usually disrupted these confederations Indians resisted the attempts by the whites to displace them They fought defensive wars such as the Black Hawk War in 1832 Indian uprisings also occurred, like the Sioux uprising in the 1860s

Despite the resistance of the Indians, the Europeans were destined to win the conflict After Indian

resistance was crushed, the whites legitimized the taking of Indian lands by proposing treaties, frequently

offering gifts to Indian chiefs to get them sign the treaties Once an Indian group had signed a treaty, the whites proceeded to remove them from their land Often the Indians were forced west of the Mississippi into Indian Territory-land the whites considered uninhabitable If only a few Indians remained after the conquest, they were often absorbed by local tribes or forced onto reservations

No aspect of American history is more poignant than the accounts of the forced removal of Indians across the continent As white settlers migrated farther west, Indians were forced to sign new treaties

giving up the lands earlier treaties had promised them Some Indian tribes, realizing the futility of

resistance, accepted their fate and moved westward without force The Winnebagos, who offered little resistance, were shifted from place to place between 1829 and 1866 About half of them perished during

their perpetual sojourn Other tribes, however, bitterly resisted The Seminoles signed a treaty in 1832 but

violently resisted removal Hostilities broke out in 1835 and continued for seven years The United States government lost nearly 1,500 men and spent over $50 million in its attempts to crush Seminole resistance Most of Seminoles were eventually forced to Indian Territory However, several hundred remained in the Florida Everglades, where their descendants live today

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions

The election of Andrew Jackson to the presidency in 1928 marked the political ascendancy of the

“common man” in American politics Whereas all previous presidents had been Easterners from well-to-do families, Jackson was a self-made man of modest wealth from the West Born in 1767, Jackson fought in the American Revolution, in which many of his relatives died Afterwards, he studied law and moved to the Western District of North California When that territory became the state of Tennessee, Jackson was

elected the state’s first congressman His name became a household word during the war of 1812,

when, as a U.S Army major general, he led troops against the Creek Indians in the Mississippi Territory and later defeated the British at New Orleans

After his presidential inauguration, Jackson rode on horseback to the White House to attend a private party Crowds of well-wishers suddenly appeared at the reception and nearly destroyed the White House as they tried to glimpse the new president The common man had made a dramatic entrance onto the national political scene

Jackson’s two terms moved American society toward truer democracy Many states abandoned property requirements for voting Elected officials began to act more truly as representatives of the people than as their leaders As president of the common man, Jackson waged a war against the Bank of the

United States, vetoing the bill that re-chartered the institution, declaring it a dangerous monopoly that

profited the wealthy few

Although he had built his reputation as an Indian fighter during the War of 1812, Jackson was not

an Indian hater He adopted what was at the time considered an enlightened solution to the Indian problem-removal Many tribes submitted peacefully to being moved to the West Others were marched by

force to the Indian Territory, under brutal conditions, along what the Cherokees called the Trail of Tears

One of Andrew Jackson’s most enduring legacies was the Democratic Party, which under him

became a highly organized political party In opposition to the Democrats were the Whigs, a party that attracted supporters of the Bank of the United States and opposed the tyranny of the man called “King

Andrew” A less specific but more basic legacy is the populist philosophy of politics that still bears the

name “Jacksonian Democracy.”
