B‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍y the time this exam is due (16 April 2021 @ 5:00 PM) you should have read Chapters 15-24 in the YAWP, and some of the related items in the Primary Source section of the Blackboard course. There are six (6) essays taken from information in the Chapters, and Primary Sources.

You must choose any five (5). It is expected that you will answer the questions in such depth that if I were a novice student, I would have a working knowledge of what the question asks

. This exam is worth 250 points, or 25% of your grade. Obviously, this is a 50-point per essay exam. You may (I hope) go beyond the YAWP and Primary Sources to answer each question. As you complete this exam, reflect on each of your responses considering, as previously stated, that your reader has no idea in the world of what each question means. Be very thorough. 1. How did the failure of the Great RR Strike ‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍of 1877 lead to the greater realization that union organization was a necessity by the working class in the latter 19th century? 2. How did railroads and ranching “make” the West?

3. What justification(s) were applied by those wishing to limit new immigrants to the U. S.?

4. In what ways did President Wilson’s 14 Points fail during the Paris Peace talks, and at home as well?

5. How did the African American writers of the Harlem Renaissance drive that movement into the consciousness the American mainstream?

6. Which factor, overconsumption or underconsumption led to the Great Depression of the 1930s, and why?

As the introduction above states, you must choose five (5) of the six (6) essays, answer them fully as though I have no idea about the topic of which you write. At this point, save your final to a WORD doc and email it to me by 5:00 PM on Friday 16‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ April.
