Unit 2: The Changing Nation
Topic 3: Reform Movements
Overview |
As the gaps between the rich and the poor grew within the country, there were increasing calls for reforms. Investigative journalists increasingly exposed the conditions of American city-dwellers, workers, and the practices of large corporations. Reformers called for social, economic, and political changes. State governments and federal governments passed some reform measures with varying levels of effectiveness. With the emergence of Progressive era presidents, the laws became enforced with increasing regularity but still, some issues remained.
Framing Question: To what extent were the Progressives of the late 1800s and early 1900s successful in their goals?

Unit 2: The Changing Nation
Topic 2: Populism and The People’s Party
Overview |
As the United States became an industrial power, farmers struggled economically. At the mercy of the railroad and the middle men they sold their crops to, they increasingly felt abandoned by the government. In response to economic policies that increasingly favored the industrialized, urbanized North, farmers began to organize to fight against corporations and politicians they viewed as corrupt. These organizations became increasingly political and eventually coalesced into the Populist Party, a third party that steadily increased in influence during the late 1800s. The Populists demanded changes that would decrease the influence of the wealthy and corporations and increase the influence of the common man.
Framing Question: To what extent was the Populist movement of the late 1800s a success or failure?
Standards |
c. Describe the working conditions and struggles experienced by the labor force that led to the labor movement (child labor, hours, safety, wages, standard of living), and evaluate the effectiveness of efforts to improve conditions. d. Describe the reasons for and effects of the rise of Populism in the United States and Louisiana during the late 1800s, including the role of the Grange, Farmers’ Alliance, and Peoples Party.
i. Analyze causes and effects of changes to the Louisiana Constitution over time, with emphasis on revisions from 1879 to 1974. |

Unit 2: The Changing Nation
Topic 1: Industrialization, Immigration, and Urbanization
Overview |
Following the Civil War, the United States began to emerge as one of the major industrialized powers in the world. The rise of large corporations driven by improvements in technology, laissez faire government policies, a wealth of natural resources and increased immigration produced a booming economy. The growth of factories lured ever increasing amounts of immigrants to the United States and more rural Americans relocated to urban areas in the hopes of factory jobs. The American city was on the rise as well. It was a time of great wealth and prosperity but also a time where there was great poverty and increased tensions as the nation became increasingly diverse and large corporations behaved in a way that crushed anyone who would dare to compete with them.
Framing Question: To what extent was rapid industrialization a blessing or a curse for America?

Unit 1: A Nation in Conflict
Topic 2: Post Reconstruction and the Jim Crow Era
Framing Question: How did Jim Crow Laws create and govern a racially segregated society?
Overview |
The Jim Crow Era was characterized by a series of state and local laws introduced in the Southern United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that enforced racial segregation. These laws remained in force until the 1960s. Formal (de jure) and informal (de facto) segregation policies were present in other areas of the United States as well, even if several states outside the South had banned discrimination in public accommodations and voting. In this topic, students will analyze primary and secondary sources to gain an understanding of how both de jure and de facto segregation during this time period affected society

Unit 1: A Nation in Conflict
Topic 1: The West and the American Indian Experience
Framing Question: How did Westward Expansion transform the United States?
Overview |
After the Civil War, a massive wave of migration continued westward, fulfilling some Americans’ belief in Manifest Destiny. Encouraged by federal land grants and subsidies, the West became the focus of settlement and railroad expansion as new technologies led to further growth of farming, ranching, and mining enterprises. This advancement westward altered the way Americans viewed themselves and their place in the world. While some found a more equal society, conflicts arose with Native Americans, immigrant groups and a newly industrialized east coast.
Standards |
h. Explain the origins and development of Louisiana public colleges and universities, including land grant institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and regional universities.
