Analytical Paper #2: The Transformation of America
If the end of the nineteenth century witnessed dramatic transformations through rapid
industrialization, the rise of Jim Crow, American imperialism, and mass immigration, the first
quarter of the twentieth century was witness to equally dramatic transformations that were, in
large part, reactions to those late nineteenth century events. Progressivism in both social reform
and politics, World War I in its domestic moblizations of reimainging of the palce of the united
States in the world, and the postwar crackdown on radical politics and volatile economy made
for a drastically transformed nation.
In this manner, this paper asks you to analyze primary sources in order to address the
transformations of the period. You are to answer the following question: given the primary
sources you have read, what were two major transformations that occurred in the period between
roughly 1900 and 1929? How did those transformations occur? Like any work of history, this is
not going to be comprehensive – choose your two transformations that stretch between the
Progressive Era and the postwar 1920s and develop your argument through a reading of the
primary sources. Topics you might address are feminism, labor reform, the war, the great
migration, Harlem Renaissance, Jim Crow. Make sure you focus on reading and analyzing the
primary sources and effectively put them in context of information from lectures and text book.
Drawing on primary sources, lectures, and the textbook, you are to write an 800-1000 word. You
must use at least three primary sources; you may use more of them if you like. You must have at
least three quotes from the primary sources. The quotes should support your argument, providing
evidence for the claim you are making. You should not use block quotes. The paper must have
an introduction, body, and conclusion.
The paper should be 800-1000 words, double-spaced, 12-point font, with standard one inch
margins.
these are the primary sources that you should get the answer from 1-http://93.174.95.91/get.php?md5=0654B9D5A08AAA3E8C4C79D116942A43&key=N22661YN377VKQT6
