- Assess this statement in light of our assigned readings: “…the most important effect of the frontier has been in the promotion of equality and the recognition that all Americans share the same natural rights.” Do you agree given the period we’ve looked at so far, roughly 1860 to 1900? Fashion a thesis in which you take a position on this claim, then back all you write with the material assigned so far in our course. Include at least the significant use of two primary sources that were given in the modules so far.
- Consider this claim: “In the period from 1860 to 1910, class conflict was rare in the U.S. and lessened by the remarkable rise in the quality of life of the average citizen.” Do you agree in light of our assigned reading in the class? Take a clear stand in your thesis, announced in the first paragraph, and back all you say with historical examples — including the significant use of at least two primary sources assigned in our modules.
- Assess this claim: “The story of the U.S. in the period from 1848 to 1900 is the story of immigration and how immigrants affected the national infrastructure, the nature of city government, the relationship between the worker and the factory-owner, to name just a few areas.” Do you agree? Fashion a thesis in which you take a position on this claim, then back all you write with the material assigned so far in our course. Include at least the significant use of two primary sources that were given in the modules.
