  • The History of Reconstruction. Many Americans
    like to imagine the history of their nation as
    one of continual progress. While acknowledging
    that not all persons and groups enjoyed equal
    rights at all times, Americans often take it for
    granted that American history moves in only one
    direction t

  • ASHFORD HIS 204 Week 1 Quiz
  • The Industrial Revolution. Too much corporate
    influence in politics the specter of socialist
    policies undermining capitalism and individual
    freedoms a middle class in apparent decline
    waves of immigration which threatened to alter
    the character of American society new
    technologies which introduced new social problems
    as well as offering new opportunities and a
    general sense that the common people had lost
    control of their government
  • 1. Question In what year did the United States
    reach a milestone in which more people lived in
    urban areas than farms?
  • 2. Question The Dawes Act was significant
    because it demanded what from Native Americans?
  • 3. Question One of the most significant
    examples of corrupt business practices during the

  • ASHFORD HIS 204 Week 2 DQ 1 The Progressive Moveme
  • ASHFORD HIS 204 Week 2 DQ 2 America
  • The Progressive Movement. The Progressive
    Movement was a complicated, even contradictory,
    phenomenon which sometimes pushed for the
    expansion of popular democracy while at other
    times, or even simultaneously, advocated that the
    functions of government be placed in the hands of
    experts. The movement addressed some of the worst
    domestic problems of its time, but its mainstream
    largely ignored widespread and worsening racial
    injustices. Review the Progressive Movement of
    the first two decades of the twentieth century,
    and generalize what you take to be its core
    principles.
  • Americas Age of Imperialism. Americas Age of
    Imperialism was relatively short-lived, and
    somewhat anomalous in terms of overall US
    history. For a few brief years in the 1890s, the
    US aggressively pursued overseas colonies,
    holding on to those colonies even in the face of
    indigenous resistance and, unlike its handling of
    continental territories, offering the new
    colonies no pathway toward equal statehood and
    citizenship.

  • ASHFORD HIS 204 Week 2 Quiz
  • The Progressive Presidents. The presidential
    election of 1912 was the most Progressive in US
    history with the two frontrunners, Theodore
    Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, both espousing
    Progressive philosophies (and the most
    conservative candidate, William Howard Taft,
    being in many ways a Progressive himself).
    Although both Wilson and Roosevelt were
    Progressive, their attitudes toward Progressivism
    differed, at least in theory.
  • 1.Question Which African American scholar
    called for a talented tenth of all African
    Americans to attend a university, aspire
    to the highest professions, and abandon a
    conservative approach to race relations?
  • 2.Question In 1919 there was a devastating
    race riot in a major American city. Which city
    did this take place?
  • 3.Question Which of the following was not a
    representation or an example of New Women
    expressing freedom and independence?

  • ASHFORD HIS 204 Week 3 DQ 2 The End of Isolation
  • Normalcy and the New Deal. When the First World
    War ended, Americans welcomed what they hoped
    would be a return to normalcy. The decades that
    followed, however, are ones which would rarely be
    described as normal, in comparison to what came
    before or after.
  • The End of Isolation. In 1938, in Munich, the
    British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain made a
    deal with Adolph Hitler allowing Nazi Germany to
    annex Czechoslovakias Sudetenland. Hailed as a
    hero for his diplomacy at the time, Chamberlain
    is now widely reviled for his policy of
    appeasement to Nazi aggression. Yet one year
    later, Chamberlain would lead Britain into war
    against Germany in defense of Poland once it
    became clear that appeasement had failed. By
    contrast, the US did little to halt Hitlers
    initial expansion

  • ASHFORD HIS 204 Week 3 Quiz
  • Final Paper Preparation. This assignment will
    prepare you for the Final Paper by initiating the
    research process and helping you map out specific
    events and developments which you will explore in
    depth in your paper. Review the instructions for
    the Final Paper laid out in Week Five before
    beginning this project. Note, that for the Final
    Paper you will need to discuss at least six
    specific events or developments related to your
    chosen topic, three from before 1930 and three
    from after 1930.
  • 1.Question The cornerstone of the Second New
    Deal was the Social Security Act of 1935. Which
    of the following was not true about it?
  • 2.Question While the United States was fighting
    for the ideals of democracy during World War II,
    there were examples of liberties taken

    following was the best example of this?

  • ASHFORD HIS 204 Week 4 DQ 2 Cold War
  • A Single American Nation. When the First World
    War began, African-American leaders pressed the
    government to provide black men the right to go
    to combat to prove their devotion to their
    country. Hoping that their service would lay a
    stake on citizenship which the nation would have
    no choice but to honor, the New Negro of the
    1920s adopted a more militant stance toward civil
    rights. The civil rights struggle envisioned at
    the time, however, made few concrete gains.
    Discrimination and disenfranchisement persisted.
  • Cold War. After the Second World War, the US
    embarked on what came to be known as the Cold War
    against the Soviet Union. Although the two sides
    never fought against each other directly, the
    Cold War nonetheless erupted into violence at
    times in places like Vietnam, Korea, and
    Afghanistan. As the US grew more activist and
    interventionist in its foreign policy, the
    domestic government also grew in power and in its
    role in the peoples lives.

  • 2.Question The Big Three decided on many
    important decisions at the Yalta Conference at
    the end of World War II. Which group was not one
    of them?
  • 3.Question Kennedy immediately understood the
    centrality of international issues and devoted
    significant attention to them from his first days
    in office. Which of the following best
    characterizes his strategy of flexible response?
  • 4.Question In their critique of 1950s culture,
    which of the following did the Beats advocate the
    least?
  • The Age of Reagan. Most of us have lived much of
    our lives in the Age of Reagan, a period which
    dates from 1980 and which may still be ongoing
    today. Historians increasingly agree that the
    election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 represented a
    revolution in American society and,
    particularly, its politics. Review Reagans
    presidential career to explain what about it
    precisely was so revolutionary. Compare his
    approach to politics and foreign affairs with
    those of his predecessors

  • ASHFORD HIS 204 Week 5 Final Paper Native American
  • The Lived Experience of Ordinary People.
    Especially since the 1960s, historians have
    sought to understand history not just as a series
    of major events presided over by generals and
    statesmen, but also as the lived experience of
    ordinary people. For this last discussion, begin
    by reflecting on your own past with an eye toward
    how American society has changed over the course
    of your life.
  • Focus of the Final Paper
  • Understanding history can be more difficult than
    many people imagine. Historians concern
    themselves not only with what happened but with
    why it happened. They analyze and assess a
    variety of sources, including primary sources
    (ones created during the time period the
    historian is examining) and secondary sources
    (ones written by other historians after the
    period), to create their own interpretations of
    the past. For the Final Paper, students will not
    only learn about the past, but also experiment
    with the interpretive, analytical methodologies
    of the historian.
