Assignment 2: Industrialization and the Rise of a Regulated Economy 
Due Week 6 and worth 120 points

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 (monopolistic practices, work conditions, low wages, arbitrary and oppressive expectations) 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. 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:

From the start of Progressive era of the late 1800s through the New Deal period in the 1930s, increasing government interventions and regulations of business tended to help the overall economy and the common workers.  (Or you can argue that such interventions and regulations hurt the overall economy and the common workers.)  Use specific examples from different decades—and be sure one of your examples is from the 1930s. 
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 or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph.
To support your position, use four (4) specific examples from different decades between 1865 and 1940. However, one (1) of your four (4) examples must be from the 1930s.
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 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. 

Source list for Assignment 2: Some sources are “primary” sources from the time period being studied.

Questions We Can Help You To Answer

Paper instructions:

Ulysses S. Grant was a successful military general and the eighteenth President of the United States. A graduate of the prestigious West Point military academy, Grant served in both the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the American Civil War (1861-1865), in which he was appointed commander of the Union Army. Grant’s successful military campaign against the Confederate States culminated in his acceptance of General Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. Grant wrote about his exploits in a memoir that was completed a short time before his death in 1885. The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant is recognized today as one of the most significant American military memoirs of all time. In an honest and intelligent voice, the celebrated Civil War general and former President offered a detailed and intimate telling of the events of the American Civil War and his role within it as a Union General.

Robert E. Lee was a graduate of West Point, a general, and commander of a Confederate army. Lee was also a slave owner. Lee never wrote memoirs.

Your assignment is to read Grant’s memoirs, starting from the day in 1864 that Grant’s army crosses the Rappahannock River in Virginia until he accepts Lee’s surrender at Appomattox courthouse on April 9, 1865. Then, watch the Lee documentary, American Experience Robert E Lee, at:

.

After reading that section of the book and watching the video, write an essay detailing the attitudes and beliefs of the two men about succession, slavery, emancipation, and each man’s acceptance of the Union victory. Then, using examples from Grant’s memoirs and the Lee documentary to justify your opinion, present your opinion about Southern white’s (the population of the South) acceptance of emancipation after the war.
