3 Essential Themes 1. Modern Culture and Conflicts: A new culture emerged in the 1920s that challenged the past and caused a cultural divide across the country.. Conflicts centered around immigrants and fears of communism (the first Red Scare), prohibition of alcohol, the role of the modern woman (flapper), and was most apparent with the new rise of the KKK even in the north. New forms of entertainment transformed the culture; radio, jazz music, leisure sports, cinema, and a consumer culture that valued owning things more than the traditional Protestant value of hard work and personal restraint. These cultural conflicts will eventually subside but will reemerge in a firestorm in the 1960s. How were the culture conflicts of the 1920s similar to culture conflicts in America today? 2. Expansion of the Federal Government: The Progressive Era ushered in a more active government to balance the power of industrialists, solve social ills, and provide worker and consumer protections through regulations. To fight in both world wars, the government was forced to grow in scope and scale to manage a total war. While the 1920s attempted to withdraw back to traditional laissezfaire role, FDR s New Deal forever altered the relationship between the government and the citizenry. The role of the modern government that we are familiar with today, essentially came out of this period. How did President Hoover and FDR differ on the proper role of government in responding to the Great Depression? 3. A New Foreign Policy: With the closing of the frontier, America looked outward and with the Spanish American War in 1898, America became an imperial power. Similar arguments and motivations were made for empire as for Manifest Destiny, but it did not come without debate. America s entered the Great War to make the world safe for democracy but the carnage of the war, worries over entangling alliances and loss of sovereignty led to a rejection of the League of Nations. Stern isolationism throughout the twenties and thirties was only to be shattered by the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Again, trust into a world war, America rose to its finest hour in defeating fascism abroad and in the aftermath, be left as the sole power to resist the Soviets. How did America s isolation in the 1930 s play into the hands of Germany and Japan?

9 Short (and Sweet) Answer Question! Tips and Tricks: Remember to ACE it for the SAQ. Answer, Cite, and Explain! Answer: reuse key words from the prompt to answer it by Citing specific evidence and then Explaining how the evidence supports your Answer. Source 1: Thomas Kessner, New Deal 2010 With a blaze of bold executive action in his first 100 days, he dashed the torpor and malaise that enveloped Washington. Declaring that he intended to employ powers similar to those granted by the Constitution to fight a war, Roosevelt led a compliant Congress to enact legislation assigning him unprecedented responsibilities for economic planning and assistance to the unemployed. And while a fuller perspective reveals how bounded these changes were, the swift pace and broad scale of the reforms conveyed a resolute engagement with the people s troubles. Source 2: Howard Zinn, A People s History of the United States When the New Deal was over, capitalism remained intact. The rich still controlled the nation's wealth, as well as its laws, courts, police, newspapers, churches, colleges. Enough help had been given to enough people to make Roosevelt a hero to millions, but the same system that had brought depression and crisis-the system of waste, of inequality, of concern for profit over human need- remained. 1. Explain an important difference between how sources 1 and 2 view the New Deal. 2.Explain one specific piece of evidence that would support Kessner s view. 3.Explain one specific piece of evidence that would support Zinn s view.

10 Document Analysis for the DBQ Prompt: Analyze the economic and social changes America experienced in the 1920s. Doc 1 Source: Lorna Mason et al, America s Past and Promise, 1998 When reading graphs, look for general trends and any aberrations. For this graph, while this is about automobiles sales in the 1920s, to make best use of this document- do not just talk about sales of cars, go on to analyze the different changes (soc and econ) that cars had on America! Doc 2 Source: Step by Step Green, Sydney 1919 HIPPING a cartoon is easy b/c there will be a recognizable POV with a clear purpose (to influence people s opinions) Try to use 2 HIPPs to ensure that one makes the cut! A cartoon from the perspective of was trying to show how...next explain the significance of the topic in the doc to the prompt and your thesis statement! Source: John F Carter, These Wild Young People, Atlantic Monthly, 1920 Now my generation is disillusioned, and, I think, to a certain extent, brutalized, by the cataclysm which their (previous generation) complacent folly engendered. We have seen man at his lowest, woman at her highest, in the terrible moral chaos of Europe We have been forced to live in an atmosphere of tomorrow we die, and so naturally, we drank and be merry Our music is distinctly barbaric, we drink when we can, what we can, we gamble, we are extravagant. When using docs, consider what specific historical facts or terms you can use that support the doc. The more historical knowledge you can show, the stronger your essay will be. (For instance, this doc does not mention flappers or? but those both should be used in your analysis!)

11 DBQ Writing Practice 1 pt:set the Context! What events immediately proceeded and led the topic and events of the DBQ? 1 pt Thesis Statement [Ensure to answer ALL parts of the question and provide categories that will be argued in your body paragraphs!] Body paragraphs [up to 5 points: HIPP, Use of Docs, advanced argumentation, and outside information] Topic sentence linked to thesis category: Introduce doc(s) with HIPP, explain useful information inferred, explain how it proves thesis: Topic Sentence linked to thesis category: Introduce doc(s) with HIPP, explain useful info inferred, explain how it proves thesis Outside info to prove thesis (outside evidence should not be connected to any doc)
