• 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 toward greater rights, greater
  freedom, and greater equality. This perspective
  makes it difficult for many Americans to
  understand the Reconstruction period and to place
  it in a broader historical narrative. The problem
  they face is that African Americans from roughly
  1867 to 1875 enjoyed far more political

• 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.

• For more course tutorials visit
• www.his204.com
• 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. The Filipino Insurrection of 1899 to
  1902 provides a particularly unsettling episode
  in terms of how Americans generally like to
  remember their past.

• 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. This paper will
  provide an opportunity to review the complex
  nature of Progressivism

• 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. During these decades, a struggle
  ensued within the American nation regarding how
  best to define the nations essential character,
  as groups like the revived Ku Klux Klan fought a
  rearguard action to define nationhood solely in
  terms of white skin and Protestant religion
  against secularists, Catholics, flappers, New
  Negroes

• 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, and entered into the war only
  gradually, attempting

• 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.

• 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, and assess the ways
  that his successors either built upon or
  attempted to reverse his legacy.

• 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. In your response, focus less on
  major political or international events than on
