Background: In the last quarter of the 19th Century, the Industrial Revolution was in full swing; however, with the business boom came a number of concerns, including corporate influence in politics and waves of immigration, as well as a middle class in apparent decline. These developments seemed to threaten to alter the character of American society as new technologies introduced new social problems, as well as offering new opportunities. The rise of captains of industry (or robber barons), with their sway of politicians, created a widespread feeling among common Americans that they had had lost control of their government.

American History, Great Depression, 20th Century, the Gilded Age, and World War 2

1. For a long time, American historians have interpreted the Reconstruction of the South a failure for the newly freed slaves. However, historians today are explaining the events of the Civil War and Reconstruction as nothing less than revolutionary. In the following essay explain why historians have seen this period in American history as a failure, and then explain how they can now interpret it as a success.
American historians associate the failure of reconstruction of the south to the newly freed slaves. Nevertheless, lack of political focus also influenced the failure. In this case, the process of eliminating the freed slaves who had gained civil liberties made them fail to bring long term solution to the issue of racial integration in the south. Notably, after the civil war, the freed slaves worked towards reviving the economy of the south and rebuilding their shattered landscape. Despite their efforts, there were several divisions in the federal government regarding the reconstruction process resulted into the failure to attain the goals. At the time, President Lincoln came up with a plan giving the slaves at least 10 percent in order to rejoin the union.
Following the assassination of President Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, a former owner of slaves came up with another plan for reconstruction. Unfortunately, his plan did not survive for long as the republicans worked a plan to ensure that the southerners were not seated. Indeed, lack of political focus was also associated with the increased political prosperity in the north as compared with the south. Therefore, the slaves in the south did not have a larger say in drawing the attention to reconstruction process (Mark and Garraty, 2002). Indeed, there was a contrast between the south and the south something that harbored hatred between the two regions. The integration of the freed slaves into the society also played a great role in the failure of reconstruction. Despite the various promises made by the freed slaves, when they were elected to the congress, they did nothing to help their people in the south. They also failed to end racial inequity hence the oppression of the African Americans continued in the south.
2. Mark Twain described the era marked by industrialization, immigration, urbanization, and corporatism as “The Gilded Age”. In the following essay explain why. Be sure to offer illustrative examples in your answer.

When the First World War ended, Americans welcomed what they hoped w.docxjolleybendicty
When the First World War ended, Americans welcomed what they hoped would be a “return to normalcy.” The decades that followed, however, are ones which would rarely be described as normal, in comparison to what came before or after. During these decades, a struggle ensued within the American nation regarding how best to define the nation’s essential character, as groups like the revived Ku Klux Klan fought a rearguard action to define nationhood solely in terms of white skin and Protestant religion against secularists, Catholics, flappers, “New Negroes,” and others who challenged the traditional order. Immediately thereafter, the New Deal implemented in response to the Great Depression threatened to revolutionize the role of the federal government in lives of the American people, in ways which many Americans believed violated the basic tenets of the Constitution—and others believed were not radical enough. Taken together, the decades from 1920 to 1940 may have transformed the American nation more than any other comparable time period.
Review the major social and economic developments in American society during the 1920s and 1930s. Identify the factors which made the 1920s “roar,” and explain how the events of that decade contributed to the outbreak of the Great Depression. Then, describe how Americans responded to the Great Depression, both individually and through the government and other organizations, and assess the effectiveness of their responses. Pay particular attention to New Deal programs, and how the approach of the New Deal changed over the course of the 1930s.
Along with the general discussion, address developments across these two decades related to TWO of the following groups:
Evangelical Protestants
Farmers
African Americans
Women
Business owners
The middle class

1.The United States experienced a market revolution after 1815 due.docxchristiandean12115
1.The United States experienced a market revolution after 1815 due to the growth of the transportation and manufacturing industries. It was through urbanization that the country was able to establish more factories and this saw immigrant from Ireland coming into the country. The Lowell Journal explain the problems that the women were undergoing through one of them being low wages and fake promises. The women feel subordinate to the factory owners because of the owners’ rudeness and disrespect. The women are subordinates because the owners cut reduced their wages. The strike leader meant that the factory owners were proud and disrespectful. The dimension is that the factory owners marginalized the workers. The turnout was unintended and only happened because the workers were fed up with the insolence of the factory owners.
2.One of the short term effects of Indian removal is that the people revolted that decision by the president. Moreover, more than five hundred Chickasaws died of dysentery and smallpox during the Trail of Tears journey. The Indian removal is believed to give the Indians the right to live how they wanted once they were in Mississippi and this freedom was viewed as appealing to the Indians
3.The United States become a leading industrial power in the 19th century due to the rural, urban migration that was taking place. This translated to more workers in the factories and increased productivity due to the use of steam as a source of energy.
The economic inequality can be attributed to luck and the willingness of a person to work harder than other individuals. Moreover, this saw some individuals moving from being squatters to landowners
The ideology of manifest destiny prompted Americans to work hard, and the booming economy became attractive to outsiders. This made immigration to be rampant in the United States from 1840.
The annexation of Texas saw the United States being granted Texas whereas Mexico also wanted to have it led to a civil war between the two countries.

This week, you have read a selection from two of the most influential pieces of urban writing of the nineteenth century. The work of Engels and the work of Riis challenged the way citizens perceived the economic and material conditions around them. The lecture contextualizes the dramatic changes and challenges taking place in industrializing cities. These challenges included as overcrowding in subpar housing, the spread of disease because of poor sanitation, and inequalities faced my millions of wage laborers (often immigrants). You read how the middle class, urban reformers and social commentators responded to such circumstances.
In your post, please respond to the following (the first two are for administrative purposes; the last two relate to this week’s course content):
1. I would like to know how you found out about this online class and why you chose to enroll in it. We have a full class, which is great, so we want to know exactly why we were successful in getting you all signed on!
2. Please tell me whether you are a Burbank campus student, or a San Diego campus student.
3. Describe the differences you see between Jane Addams’ approach to urban poverty and that of Friedrich Engels. What parallels to each approach do you see in our contemporary urban landscape (i.e. are there individuals, groups or political institutions that seem to align with one approach or the other as they focus to meet the needs of our cities today?)
4. Why do you think Jacob Riis’ work was so influential in stimulating legislation when dozens of other “urban investigative reporters” had been publishing reports and illustrations since the 1850s without the same level of public reaction? In your answer, select an image (post it in your response) from the online Riis photographic collection to help you make your point. Does this shed light on the way we currently understand problems within our cities? Do you have an example?

• Outline early efforts at urban reform to combat disease, inadequate
housing, and the everyday repercussions of urban poverty
The nineteenth century witnessed unprecedented growth in the population and size of cities. This was

This week, you have read a selection from two of the most influential pieces of urban writing of the nineteenth century. The work of Engels and the work of Riis challenged the way citizens perceived the economic and material conditions around them. The lecture contextualizes the dramatic changes and challenges taking place in industrializing cities. These challenges included as overcrowding in subpar housing, the spread of disease because of poor sanitation, and inequalities faced my millions of wage laborers (often immigrants). You read how the middle class, urban reformers and social commentators responded to such circumstances.
In your post, please respond to the following (the first two are for administrative purposes; the last two relate to this week’s course content):
1. I would like to know how you found out about this online class and why you chose to enroll in it. We have a full class, which is great, so we want to know exactly why we were successful in getting you all signed on!
2. Please tell me whether you are a Burbank campus student, or a San Diego campus student.
3. Describe the differences you see between Jane Addams’ approach to urban poverty and that of Friedrich Engels. What parallels to each approach do you see in our contemporary urban landscape (i.e. are there individuals, groups or political institutions that seem to align with one approach or the other as they focus to meet the needs of our cities today?)
4. Why do you think Jacob Riis’ work was so influential in stimulating legislation when dozens of other “urban investigative reporters” had been publishing reports and illustrations since the 1850s without the same level of public reaction? In your answer, select an image (post it in your response) from the online Riis photographic collection to help you make your point. Does this shed light on the way we currently understand problems within our cities? Do you have an example?

Urban Squalor, Sanitation and
Progressive Reform
This lecture will:
• Provide an overview of how industrialization took root in 19th century cities
• Identity some of the major problems that resulted from exponential growth
and economic inequalities
• Outline early efforts at urban reform to combat disease, inadequate
housing, and the everyday repercussions of urban poverty
The nineteenth century witnessed unprecedented growth in the population and size of cities. This was
especially true in northern Europe and the United States. This was largely a result of the Industrial
Revolution and flourishing market economy which enabled agricultural production to produce surplus
goods, thereb.
Discuss how American corporations changed over the course of the 192.docxeve2xjazwa

Discuss how the Sacco-Vanzetti case laid bare some of the fault lines beneath the surface of American society in the 1920s.
After World War I and more than twenty years of reform, Americans became much more conservative in the 1920s. In fact, Reinhold Niebuhr stated that America was “rapidly becoming the most conservative nation on earth.” Give examples that defend this perception of America as conservative in the 1920s.
One newspaper of the day declared that “the American citizen’s first importance to his country is no longer that of a citizen but that of a consumer.” Analyze the validity of that statement.
The two sides of the debate of the Scopes trial defined freedom differently. Explain what freedom meant to each side and how the Scopes trial mirrored the trends in American society during the 1920s.
The 1920s are commonly referred to as the Roaring Twenties. Document who was and who was not “roaring” in the 1920s. Your answer ought to illustrate the dichotomy of the decade.
The “New Negro” of the Harlem Renaissance is many things. W. E. B. Du Bois attempts to express it one way as a “double consciousness”—where the black man wants white America to appreciate his African roots and where he also wants to be American. Langston Hughes also expresses it in poetry with his 1925 poem I, Too, Sing America, where he reminds his readers that while darker, he too is American. Write an essay based on these ideas of the “New Negro” and the expressions of the Harlem Renaissance of celebration of being black and American.
The Great Depression came dramatically with the stock market crash, but the causes of the Depression had been planted well before 1929. Discuss what brought on the Great Depression and why Hoover was not able to properly address the crisis.

Compare and contrast the late nineteenth century industrialization process in.docx
1. Compare and contrast the late nineteenth century industrialization
process in
Compare and contrast the late nineteenth century industrialization process in the United
States to that of other industrializing countries. Why did the process come as quickly and
completely as it did? Why did one historian characterize the post civil war era as “The Great
Barbeque?” What did Twain suggest about the end of the nineteenth century when he called
it “The Gilded Age?” Urban life in the United States in the late nineteenth century was full of
new problems awaiting solution. Analyze these problems and describe how they were
addressed. Define the phenomenon known as “bossism,” and explain why it developed in
American urban politics. Analyze the dynamics that allowed for the boss to flourish in the
face of known corruption, and using Boss Tweed as a guide, describe the rise, fall and
resurrection of a city boss. Industrialization brought with it several new “social conditions.”
Analyze the forces that created a new social status quo in late nineteenth century America.
Describe the plight of the urban worker during the Gilded Age. What factors worked against
a socialist response from American workers? Describe the response that they did make in
reaction to their condition.
