HIS 204 Week 1 DQ 1 The History of Reconstruction
For more course tutorials visit www.his204.com  
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.

HIS 204 Week 2 DQ 1 The Progressive Movement For

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.

HIS 204 Week 2 DQ 2 America's Age of Imperialism
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.

For more course tutorials visit www.his204.com  
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.

ormalcy 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,

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.

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.

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.

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

revolution in American society and,
particularly, its politics. Review Reagans
presidential career to explain what about it
precisely was so revolutionary.

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.

history For more course tutorials
visit www.his204.com 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.
