The United States went through dramatic economic change during and after the Civil
War, as industrialization spread rapidly and changed society. This transformation and
some of the apparent abuses that developed led to an increased role of the government
in regulating businesses and society. This role was heightened as government was
viewed as the arbiter between business and organized labor. One can explore these
developments from 1865 on through to World War II. Take one of the positions as
suggested below, draw from the sources listed, and present a paper with specific
examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.
Possible position—in each case you can take the pro or con position:
From the Progressive era through the New Deal period, political interventions generally
tended to favor big corporations and hurt the common workers, leading to economic
instability. (or you can argue that they helped the workers and promoted economic
stability)
From 1865 to 1940, the development of labor unions was generally a negative force
leading to economic disruption and unnecessary laws that stifled businesses and
hindered job growth. (or you can take the position that labor unions had a necessary
function and generally positive impact)
From 1865 to 1940, expansion west was devastating to Native American culture, but
government policies promoted economic growth in these territories and generally equal
opportunities to the settlers. (or you can take the position that government policies did
not promote those benefits in those new areas)
After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general research,
select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing
more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with
critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position
than you originally envisioned.) Organize your paper as follows, handling these issues:
The position you choose (from the list above)—or something close to it—will be the
thesis statement in your opening paragraph.
To support your position, use four specific examples from different decades between
1865 and 1940.
Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours.
Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have shown shape or impact
issues in your workplace or desired profession?
Length:
The paper should be 600-to-850 words in length. This normally means 3-to-4 pages for
the body of the paper. (The title page and Sources page do not count in these
calculations.) Double-space between lines. Format instructions are below.

Research and References:
You must use a MINIMUM of three sources; the Schultz textbook must be one of them.
Your other two sources should be drawn from the list provided below. This is guided
research, not open-ended Googling. You will have a list of Sources at the end, using
SWS format. You will have short, SWS-style in-text citations to those sources
appropriately placed in the body of the paper. Except as your instructor might direct,
don’t use other sources for your paper than those listed here. (Of course, for “starter
research” you can read many sources.)

Source List for Assignment 2: Be sure to use the Schultz
text as a source. Use at least two of the other sources
listed here.
Some sources are “primary” sources from the time period being studied. Some sources
below can be accessed via direct link or through the primary sources links on
Blackboard. Each week has a different list of primary sources. For others, they are
accessible through the Library tab to the left of the screen in Blackboard—once in there,
you may do a “key word” search of the article title.
