The Assignment:
You are expected to write a ten to twelve page essay that makes comprehensive use of the material that we have covered to date; the readings from the text, the secondary articles, as well as the primary source materials. Your essay should offer a thorough review of the material based on the prompt below and should demonstrate both a knowledge and understanding of the details and concepts involved. Consequently, you are not permitted to use sources other than those assigned in the course. This is not an internet research project but an assignment designed to determine the extent of your grasp of the course material.
As for the format, all essays should conform to the Chicago Manual of Style. There is a link on the “Helpful Links” page of Web CT on exactly how to format your essay. All of the material that you consult should be referenced and any use of that material; whether quoted, paraphrased or*even an idea, should be footnoted. If you have any doubts, footnote! As a rule, you should have a footnote for virtually every paragraph in the body of your essay, as they should all be conveying material from the course readings to advance your argument. You are required to use*at least*five specific quotes from your text book in your essay, and cite at least two of the primary sources and one of the secondary journal articles. There is a link on the Helpful Links page to the University’s policy on plagiarism (click on “Golden Rule Academic Behavior”). You should know what it says.
The Prompt:
The decades of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth were marked by significant transformations in American cultural, political and economic life; massive industrialization, the rise of modern cities, the rise of corporate monopolies and powerful unions, and massive immigration all led to profound changes in the seventy years between the close of the Civil War and triumph of Roosevelt’s New Deal. Central to that story are repeated economic crises followed by social and political efforts (e.g., populists, progressives, unions, etc.) designed to solve the problems of modernization. You are to write an essay that traces the evolution of a modern urban-based industrial capitalist system in the United States and which makes an argument about how, and in what ways, the political and social conflicts of the era are linked to the broader economic transformations.
