SEMESTER 1
Week 1: Introduction to the Course (1 items)
Course structure and requirements will be explained, and essay topics allocated during
this week. We will also hold a short discussion on the topic of 'American History before
1880', as well as on our general perceptions of the period 1880-1930, and on what
students hope to gain from the course (details of the discussion provided via email).
Week 2: Background: Industrialisation and the Gilded Age (7 items)
The writer Mark Twain referred to the post-Civil War era as ‘the Gilded Age’. This was a
period of astonishingly rapid urban and industrial growth. The country was in a state of
social and political turmoil, and many, like Twain, believed that greed, corruption and
crassness were beginning to prevail. Industrialisation and the corruption which it
engendered certainly had long-lasting consequences for the period 1880-1930; it took
Americans many years to come to terms with the social and political repercussions of such

overwhelming, large-scale change.
Key Topics (please ensure, each week, that you have read up on these topic areas, using a
textbook or comparable work, before class)
The post-Civil War United States and Reconstruction; impact of the war on north and
south; industrialisation and its development in the US; the social, political and cultural
impact of industrialisation; the use and suitability of the term 'Gilded Age' to describe this
period; class consciousness in the late nineteenth century; early workers' rights groups
(especially the Knights of Labor)
Questions for discussion
Why did the United States appear to industrialise so rapidly? What were the
consequences of industrialisation for American society and politics? In what respects did
industrialisation create a new class system for the US? Was Mark Twain justified in his
criticisms of this period? Does it have value and merits which have hitherto been
overlooked?

Week 3: The Spirit of Change: Populism, Progressivism and Social
Reform (1) (8 items)
Many began to seek social and political reform in this era of rapid change. Groups such as
the Populists looked to preserve the rights of small farmers and businessmen in the face of
incorporation and industrial monopoly. Socialists possessed a more radical vision of the
future of the workers of America, but their campaigns were often brutally repressed. Those
who considered themselves ‘Progressives’, meanwhile, made up a far more disparate and
ill-defined group. Some looked purely for political or economic reform, while others
devoted themselves to the eradication of urban poverty and deprivation. Historians have
been much preoccupied with the Progressive ‘Movement’ over the past half-century, but
the significance and impact of the group remains a subject of great debate.
Key Topics
Populism (its roots and forerunners); Progressivism and its many 'strands'- economic
Progressivism ('trust-busting' and control of corporations; efficiency); political
Progressivism (anti-corruption measures, reform and rationalisation); social Progressivism
(workers' welfare; Settlement movement; aid to immigrants etc.); Women and
Progressivism (Jane Addams, Florence Kelley etc.); historians and the Progressive
'Movement'.
Questions for Discussion:
Account for the rise of the Populist movement. What were its achievements? Did it
constitute an egalitarian movement? What were the major 'strands' of the Progressive
'Movement', and what did each hope to achieve? Did the Progressive 'Movement' deserve
the amount of attention it received from scholars in the twentieth century?

Week 5: Immigration and Ethnicity (1) (7 items)
One of the greatest consequences of industrialisation and urbanisation was the massive
influx of immigrants to the United States. Many of these immigrants were Catholics and
Jews from Southern and Eastern Europe, and longer-established American groups resented
their ‘alien’ customs and culture. Nativist and anti-immigration groups proliferated in this
period. These groups demanded that immigration restriction legislation be passed by the
government. Their campaigns were successful; in 1924, the government introduced
‘quotas’ for certain immigrant groups desiring entry to the US.
Historians traditionally viewed these often impoverished immigrant groups as helpless
victims, tossed across the Atlantic Ocean to begin lives of desperate poverty in the US.
However, later scholars attempted to revise this view by analysing the ways in which
immigrants possessed ‘agency’ and control over their own lives and destinies.
Key Topics
The 'new immigration' and specific immigrant groups; welfare of immigrants in the US;
reasons for emigration (push/pull factors); anti-immigrant sentiment; residential patterns
among immigrants (the debate about 'ghettos'); the 'agency' of immigrants and their lives
and work in America; efforts to 'Americanise' immigrants; immigration restriction
campaigns; historians and immigration.
Questions for Discussion:
Choose an immigrant group, and provide a brief account of the immediate fortunes of
this group in the US. What circumstances brought this group to the US ('push' and 'pull'
factors)? Where and how did this group live on arrival? How 'well' did it adjust to life in the
US? To what extent did immigrants have control over their own lives in the US in this
period? Was 'Americanisation' the ultimate aim of the new immigrant groups? In what
ways has historians' understanding of immigration evolved over the past half-century?

Week 8: New South and Old South: The Southern States and the
Question of Race (1) (8 items)
Following the Civil War, the former Confederate States were left economically and
culturally devastated. The Reconstruction experiments of the immediate post-bellum
period had largely failed, and, with the resurgence of the ‘Redeemer’ Southern Democrats
and the establishment of segregation, the South appeared to turn its back on
modernisation and progress. A small number of idealists, however, dreamed of a ‘New
South’ – a forward-thinking region with a diverse and thriving economy. Industry made
some progress in the South in this period, but, as was the case in the North, an industrial
economy did not necessarily mean improved conditions for ordinary people. It is also
debatable whether ‘New South’ ideology really made a significant impact on the region in
this period.
During this class we will also discuss in detail the question of race, and specifically the
welfare and progress of African-Americans, in this ‘Jim Crow’ period.
Key Topics
Background: The Civil War, Reconstruction and its consequences; the 'Redeemers'; the
'New South creed'; industry in the New South and its economic and social consequences;
myths of the 'Old South'; Jim Crow – its developments and impact; African-American efforts
to adjust to 'Jim Crow' – migration, community, the work of the key spokesmen (Douglass,
Washington, DuBois).
Questions for Discussion:
Did a 'New South' emerge in this period? What role did conceptions of the past play in
the shaping of the post-Reconstruction south? To what extent did industrialisation bring
7/34

benefits to the southern people? How successfully did black communities in the South
adjust to the onset of 'Jim Crow'? How effective were the solutions proposed by black
spokespersons such as Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois?

Week 10: Foreign Policy: Theodore Roosevelt and the Rise of American
‘Empire’ (1) (6 items)
Theodore Roosevelt was a dynamic president, committed to the spread of Progressive
values at home. He was equally committed to forging a stronger role for the United States
in world affairs, and his views met with considerable support from those who believed that
the United States needed a new purpose for the twentieth century. Expansionism was
justified in economic, religious and ideological terms, but it was not universally welcomed
in the turbulent years of the early century.
Key Topics
The Monroe Doctrine and the tradition of isolationism; Seward and early expansionism;
foreign trade and debates about expansionism in the late nineteenth century; arguments
for an expanded US role in the world – economic, ideological, religious justifications; the
Spanish-American War and its consequences; debates about post-war annexation;
Theodore Roosevelt and his particular imperialist mindset.
Questions for Discussion:
What do you consider to have been America's main motivations for her interest in
expansion in this period? Did ideology play more of a role than economics? Did the US
really seek 'an Empire' in this period? Did Theodore Roosevelt alter America's world role
irrevocably?
