Assignment:

Write an essay in response to the following questions:

Describe the ways in which the United States changed in the fifty years since the end of the Civil War. You are invited to consider political and economic change, as well as social and cultural developments. To what extent were all Americans affected by these changes? To what extent where only certain groups of Americans affected, but not others?

Examine and interpret the EVIDENCE.

Historical thinking requires corroboration of the evidence; we must consult varied sources from differing points of view in order to piece together multiple experiences of past events and interpret the historical significance. To assist you in this aspect of historical thinking, you are required to rely on the primary sources in The American Yawp Reader. You are NOT required to refer to all of the sources! However, you are asked to quote from and cite at least three (3) different primary sources as evidence.

• Be sure to provide concrete historical examples from The American Yawp
• Be sure to quote and analyze at least three (3) primary sources from American Yawp Reader
• Please respond to the questions in the prompt by removing yourself from the essay-avoid all references to the first person (I, me)-and allow the history (and especially the primary source documents) to speak as evidence.

Please write a 500 word essay for each chapter
