History

During the turbulence of the 1960s, voices on the left and the right emerged to question moderation in politics. This essay assignment asks you to interpret postwar conservatism, aka the “New” Right. There are 4 major themes you need to address in your piece, not necessarily in this order and not necessarily assigned equal length/page space: A. Governmental ideology & domestic policy B. Vision of America’s role in the world / foreign policy C. Constituencies: Demographics (e.g. who they were) and how they changed over time. D. At least a brief consideration of their legacies, i.e. how national politics today still feels the reverberations of the 1960s. Black Lives Matter, the upcoming presidential contest, Trump conservatism, the Supreme Court’s composition, etc. — discussion of any one of these topics would fulfill this requirement. You could also discuss contemporary politics in relation to specific facets of the New Right, like foreign policy, economic theories/demands, even the role of the media within and without each movement. Questions you may want consider (these are for brainstorming purposes and you needn’t answer all of them): What was the appeal of your chosen movement? How did its leaders frame their arguments? Who were its participant groups, how did they relate to one another, and how were they mobilized? Was the concept of “change” present in its teachings? Why or why not? What role did the federal government play in either ideology or methodology? Race? You cannot possibly address every dimension of the movement in an essay of this length. To be strategic, you may choose to take a thematic approach. For example, the theme of “freedom”; how the Cold War shaped your movement; etc. You will need to articulate an historical argument/thesis statement about your chosen subject that clearly sets up the paragraphs to follow

Prompt: What were the Articles of confederation and why did it fail? List three (3) reasons why the Articles of confederation failed and explain how these failures were addressed in the US Constitution following the dissolvent of the AOC. Questions to answer in your paper: What were the conditions that led to this particular document being written? (what kind of government did they want to create and did it succeed?) What were the fundamental ideals expressed in the AOC? Why was it written this way? What did the failure of the AOC teach the founding fathers when drafting the US constitution? What changes were made in the US Constitution to reflect these failings? (Use examples and explain). Students will be expected to write 1000-1200 words (roughly 4-5 pages body section) to address these prompts. Writing less than the minimum word requirement will reduce your final grade by one full letter grade. You will have no less than Five (5) sources cited in your paper. Include a bibliography of all the sources used, and make footnotes after each quote used to cite them. Don’t make it look too professional, use 5 quotes from any academic or primary source, and then use 5 quotes from my text book linked here: https://cnx.org/contents/[email protected]:SjdU64Og@3/Introduction

This is a speech that I have to write and record, I will record it after you have written it but these are the full instructions. Thanks, let me know if you need anything else.  Purpose:  Following your larger picture reflection of immigration in America between 1880 and 1940, you are now examining the immigration restrictions Congress passed in 1921 and 1924. This assessment is intended to acquaint you with the issue of immigration and nativism in America in the decade of the 1920s. This unit’s assignments will build your skills in interpreting Congressional documents and census data and hone your ability to analyze that information. Task:  It is 1926 and you are running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives from Georgia’s 99th Congressional District. You are scheduled to deliver a speech to the voters of your district in which you outline your position on the issue of immigration, specifically on the 1921 and 1924 laws and their effects in America. Prepare and record a 5-minute speech in which you clearly outline your position on the 1921 and 1924 immigration laws (for or against) and explain why you take that position. Support your explanations with details and analysis, do not simply explain the provisions of the laws. Focus Topics/Questions These questions are not to be answered directly in your speech, they are provided only to stimulate your thinking on the issue. ? What are the immigration restrictions in the 1921 immigration law (Emergency Quota Act)? ? What are the immigration restrictions in the 1924 immigration law (National Origins Act)? ? How do the restrictions differ between the two laws? ? Do the laws affect immigration from Europe and Asia equally? ? When do those restrictions take effect? ? Does your speech support the 1921 and 1924 laws? Why or why not? ? What factors did you consider when staking out your position on immigration? ? From what country and when did your own ancestors arrive in America? ? How many immigrants live in Georgia’s 99th District? ? What position does each of the major political parties take on immigration? ? How does the immigration issue fit into the cultural conflict of the 1920s? To assist in drawing your conclusion about immigration refer to chapters 23 and 24 in the textbook, the 1921 law, the 1924 law, and the Population Division and Population Characteristics and Migration excerpts with which you’ve already worked. Criteria on which you will be graded: 1) clearly taking a position and explaining why you take that position; 2) the clarity of your speech; 3) using the 5 minutes appropriately; 4) the logic and coherence of your speech; 5) well-thought-out, respectful responses to at least 2 of your classmates. Please see the audio recording hints handout to ensure you submit a good, clear recording. Upload the recording of your speech to the Discussion topic by the due date.  Respond to at least two of your classmates’ speeches.
