Write an essay about the United States between 1865-1960s based on your learning in this class (Units 1 & 2) and your own research.

There is no single history of the U.S. during a particular time period. Even your textbook chooses what to include and what to leave out of a chapter or topic. While we should all demand that history be based on verified primary source material, every historian chooses what they think are the most important things to include in their story. You are the historian now. What do you think are the most important issues, events, and/or ideas during that time period? Write about at least three different issues/events/ideas.
