2008 History AP Exams

I graded history ap exams last month and the document question was on the war in Vietnam. Some of the amusing answers that I read include:

• The men sent to Vietnam had no intention of succeeding or returning home. This was a major strategy problem for the U.S. military.
• Before the Gulf of Tonkin resolution there was an incident known as the sinking of the Lusitania.
• The Vietnam War followed great foreign policy traditions such as Manifest Destiny, the Monroe Doctrine, and Eisenhower's Annex to the Monroe Doctrine.

Fun stuff!
