The United States went through dramatic economic change
during and after the Civil War, as industrialization spread
rapidly and changed society. This transformation and some of
the apparent abuses that developed led to an increased role of
the government in regulating businesses and society. This role
was heightened as government was viewed as the arbiter
between business and organized labor. One can explore these
developments from 1865 on through to World War II. Take one
of the positions as suggested below, draw from the sources
listed, and present a paper with specific examples and
arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.
Possible position—in each case you can take the pro or con
position:
From the Progressive era through the New Deal period, political
interventions generally tended to favor big corporations and
hurt the common workers, leading to economic instability. (or
you can argue that they helped the workers and promoted
economic stability)
From 1865 to 1940, the development of labor unions was
generally a negative force leading to economic disruption and
unnecessary laws that stifled businesses and hindered job
growth. (or you can take the position that labor unions had a
necessary function and generally positive impact)
From 1865 to 1940, expansion west was devastating to Native
American culture, but government policies promoted economic
growth in these territories and generally equal opportunities to
the settlers. (or you can take the position that government
policies did not promote those benefits in those new areas)
After giving general consideration to your readings so far and
any general research, select one of the positions above as your
position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough
research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens
with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end
up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.)
Organize your paper as follows, handling these issues:
The position you choose (from the list above)—or something
close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening
paragraph.
To support your position, use four specific examples from
different decades between 1865 and 1940.
Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to
yours.
Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have
shown shape or impact issues in your workplace or desired
profession?
Length:
The paper should be 600-to-850 words in length. This normally
means 3-to-4 pages for the body of the paper. (The title page
and References page do not count in these calculations.)
Double-space between lines. Format instructions are below.
Top
Research and References:
You must use a MINIMUM of three sources; the Schultz
textbook must be one of them. Your other two sources should be
drawn from the list provided below. This is guided research, not
open-ended Googling. You will have an alphabetized list of
Reference entries at the end, using APA format. You will have
short, APA-style in-text citations appropriately placed in the
body of the paper; these in-text citations will match the
References listed at the end. Except as your instructor might
direct, don’t use other sources for your paper than those listed
here. (Of course, for “starter research” you can read many
sources.)
Top
Source List for Assignment 1: Be sure to use the Schultz text as
a source. Use at least two of the other sources listed here.
Some sources are “primary” sources from the time period being
studied. Some sources below can be accessed via direct link or
through the primary sources link on Blackboard. Each week has
a different list of primary sources. For others, they are
accessible through the Library tab to the left of the screen in
Blackboard—once in there, you may do a “key word” search of
the article title.

The United States went through dramatic economic change during a.docx

  • 1. The United States went through dramatic economic change during and after the Civil War, as industrialization spread rapidly and changed society. This transformation and some of the apparent abuses that developed led to an increased role of the government in regulating businesses and society. This role was heightened as government was viewed as the arbiter between business and organized labor. One can explore these developments from 1865 on through to World War II. Take one of the positions as suggested below, draw from the sources listed, and present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position. Possible position—in each case you can take the pro or con position: From the Progressive era through the New Deal period, political interventions generally tended to favor big corporations and hurt the common workers, leading to economic instability. (or you can argue that they helped the workers and promoted economic stability) From 1865 to 1940, the development of labor unions was generally a negative force leading to economic disruption and unnecessary laws that stifled businesses and hindered job growth. (or you can take the position that labor unions had a necessary function and generally positive impact) From 1865 to 1940, expansion west was devastating to Native American culture, but government policies promoted economic growth in these territories and generally equal opportunities to the settlers. (or you can take the position that government policies did not promote those benefits in those new areas)
  • 2. After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general research, select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.) Organize your paper as follows, handling these issues: The position you choose (from the list above)—or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph. To support your position, use four specific examples from different decades between 1865 and 1940. Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours. Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have shown shape or impact issues in your workplace or desired profession? Length: The paper should be 600-to-850 words in length. This normally means 3-to-4 pages for the body of the paper. (The title page and References page do not count in these calculations.) Double-space between lines. Format instructions are below. Top Research and References:
  • 3. You must use a MINIMUM of three sources; the Schultz textbook must be one of them. Your other two sources should be drawn from the list provided below. This is guided research, not open-ended Googling. You will have an alphabetized list of Reference entries at the end, using APA format. You will have short, APA-style in-text citations appropriately placed in the body of the paper; these in-text citations will match the References listed at the end. Except as your instructor might direct, don’t use other sources for your paper than those listed here. (Of course, for “starter research” you can read many sources.) Top Source List for Assignment 1: Be sure to use the Schultz text as a source. Use at least two of the other sources listed here. Some sources are “primary” sources from the time period being studied. Some sources below can be accessed via direct link or through the primary sources link on Blackboard. Each week has a different list of primary sources. For others, they are accessible through the Library tab to the left of the screen in Blackboard—once in there, you may do a “key word” search of the article title.
