Assignment 1: Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstruction through the 1920s
Due Week 3 and worth 120 points

After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war,
handle western expansion, and grapple with very new economic forms.
However, its greatest issues would revolve around the legacies of
slavery and increasing diversity in the decades after the Civil War. In
the South, former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but,
despite the Reconstruction period, faced old prejudices and rapidly
forming new barriers. Immigrants from Europe and Asia came in large
numbers but then faced political and social restrictions. Women
continued to seek rights. Yet, on the whole, America became increasingly
diverse by the 1920s. Consider developments, policies, and laws in that
period from 1865 to the 1920s. Examine the statement below and drawing
from provided sources, present a paper with specific examples and
arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.

Statement—in which you can take a pro or con position:

• Political policies and movements in the period from 1865 to the
  1920s generally promoted diversity and “the melting pot” despite the
  strong prejudices of a few. (or you can take the position that they did
  not). Use specific examples of policies or movements from different
  decades to support your position.

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:

1. The position you choose —or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph.
2. To support your position, use three (3) specific examples from
   different decades between 1865 and 1930. You may narrowly focus on race
   or gender or immigrant status, or you may use examples relevant to all
   categories.
3. Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours.
4. 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 500-to-750 words in length.

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.
