The revision guide has some points about it.

You just need to know that African-Americans were sharecroppers (tenant farmer) during the economic boom. They tried to move North to places like New York and Detroit but were left in poor areas and jobs with low wages, finding themselves competing with new immigrants for work.

Hope that helps? :smile:


Ah ok, thanks a lot - I didn't know there was a revision guide at all so that's news to me! Seems a bit vague for an essay question so I'm hoping it won't come up
Can foreign policy just not come up please D:

question 1 was easy question two 12 marker was easy 24 marker was hard
Found the exam ok did 1 & 2 sorry to the people who were only taught 2/3rds of the course
I did so bad. I did Q1 and Q3 (I dunno why I was so stupid to not revise section 3 and 4 becuase Q2 has always been on Section, so I thought I would do Q1 + 2)
I'm hoping for a miracle in the next one ( Im doing Social Sixties Britain).
I though I did quite well on both 12 markers, but I got really confused on both the 24 markers. When it was aking for a change, I didn't know whether it was a social, economic change and i just messed it up. Similar to how American society changed - I just got cunfused - I didn't really know whether to put econmically or socially.
Im guessing I probably got a U and I didn't even finish.
Im just really hoping that even though Im terrible at source questions, I could do at least get a high enough in British History, which would hoperfully balance my grade to an C.
I think grade boundaries will be high though imo
im so glad my teacher taught us the whole of the course or i would be flipping out about question 2
What did u put for q 2 ?
So annoyed about this exam! :/
Can anyone remember the questions? I didn't write about advertising on the immigration 12 marker 😭.

good job too - advertising is more into the 1920's so would be kinda out of the time frame
