Please grade these DBQs with impartiality. Do not trade with your friends or your enemies. (After this statement, no one moved and the teacher graded them all herself.)

DBQ stands for Document Based Question. It is one of four segments of the grueling 200-minute AP Exam for AP United States history. In a DBQ, you're given an extremely broad question and seven documents. The student is expected to use evidence from all 7 documents plus previously memorized info to write a five paragraph essay. Except, the College Board was feeling particularly dickish when they came up with the DBQ, cause you have exactly 15 minutes to read and outline, and 45 to write your essay.
