Industrialization-Westward Expansion

On Tuesday in class we looked at the Crash Course on Industrialization and compared Carnegie's Gospel of Wealth with George's Progress and Poverty.  Today in class, we will explore what Samuel Gompers' What Does the Working Man Want adds to the ideas suggested by Carnegie and George. We will then look at the Crash Course on Westward Expansion, using the provided notetaking sheet. We'll finish by reading and analyzing Helen Hunt Jackson's A Century of Dishonor (AR 290).  All of the necessary links are posted in the assignment sheet.
