American History I
Test #4 Review Sheet

Test #4 will cover only chapters 13-15.  Although we discussed chapter 16 (Reconstruction) on 11/30, there will be NO QUESTIONS on that chapter.

The test format will be exclusively short answer (multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank) and you are strongly advised to take a look at the questions for these chapters on the Textbook site. Especially for the fill-in-the-blank questions, it will help to be familiar with the following terms, people and events:
