Mr. Vititow's US History Class

http://www.MrV.us

Parents:  

 Due to family illness over the vacation, there are no new grades available for the DBQ or Curriculum Guides.  

Students:

  Today we begin our new unit of study called "Industrialization."  Topics in this unit will include the continuing study of minority groups, immigrants who came to America through Ellis Island, the growth of cities, big business, unions, and corruption in American business and government.  Our next unit, called the "Progressivism" will be much like the Reconstruction unit, where America responds to the problems it creates by reinventing itself (and cleaning up quite a big mess at the same time.)

We begin the first week of 2004 by looking at America's first industry in the post Civil War era (the railroad) and how corruption begins both in business, government, and how Native Americans and farmers were affected by the railroads.

Next week, we begin to examine famous inventors like Thomas Edison!

Mr. V.
