Default US History 1 vs. US History 2

I was curious of which one is easier, I just passed US History 2 last week with a 53. I studied pass your class, IC and some spark notes. Based on this, would I beable to pass US History 1 if I used my same study habits?

Is US History less broad with more names and terms?

I found U.S. History II a little harder. Probably because I had more knowledge about: the colonies, revolutionary war, founding father etc.. Whereas U.S. 2 is more about the Presidents and their policies, and the aftermath of the Civil War (including the civil rights movemement-big topic). I used InstantCert, Wikipedia, and the Library (check the media section I have found some of the History Channel specials really good). This test is definitely doable, but don't underestimate it.

Was there alot on the civil war on US History 1? I sure hope so because based on the time lines I did some studying on that already thinking it would be on US History 2.

there's quite a bit on the civil war in US History 1 - battles, names, etc. i just took it recently and I'd say a good portion of the exam asked about the civil war.
