As the United States enters into a post-industrial age, it is worth revisiting the issues and problems associated with the nation's evolution into a post-agrarian society during the late 1 9th century. Issues of labor, race, gender, foreign affairs, and the role of government were quite contested as the United States entered this new economic reality. Through a selection of books and primary sources, the following topics will be explored: industrialization; the labor movement; the Populist movement; women's suffrage and the birth of modern feminism; the rise of segregation; American imperialism; progressivism; World War I; the Great Depression and the New Deal; and World War II.
