Advanced American History

The Gilded Age is a period of great change in American history.  Another element that changes the very nature of the country is the mass influx of immigrants between 1890 and 1914.  These immigrants were different from their predecessors in that they largely settled in urban areas, worked in a newly industrialized country, and originated in eastern and southern Europe bringing different cultures, customs, languages and religious beliefs.  If absent, be sure to get the necessary notes from the class discussion.

Assignment: Riis/Olmstead primary source readings and questions.  Due Tuesday.
