<p>progressive era would be greeeat</p>
<p>go TR!</p>
<p>Anything +1800 would be great, my 17 and 1600s suck.</p>
<p>My ideal essay would probably be the 20's so easy! Civil rights is easy too!</p>
<p>What events would fall under the progressive era?</p>
<p>The progressive era is between 1900 (/end of guilded age) and the war in 1914 (sort of continues past but by the crash in '29 it is over for sure).</p>
<p>Its basically all the reform movements when people got fed up with the policies of the guilded age. It includes people like Upton Sinclair and hte creation of the FDA, muckraking journalism (Lincoln Steffens), greater women's rights, lots of women in support of social change like providing for the poor (very similar to second great awakening), hull houses, reform of corrupt party politics the the 17th? ammendment about direct election of senators isfrom here, the 18th on prohibition, the 19th about women's suffrage. All sorts of good stuff...</p>
<p>wow... im the exact opposite of most of you guys. I hope that its earlier stuff (constitution, jackson, civil war, etc.) because the newer stuf just confuses the hell out of me.</p>
<p>They have pretty much done WW1 IIRC. Maybe it was from a review book. But I have done one for practice on "How neutral was the US during the events leading up to our entrance in WW1" question.</p>
<p>IDK if it was from released exam or review book.</p>
<p>My APUS gave this to the class. Most of this you can find on the site, but...</p>

<p>Dunno why 1997 is missing.
Apparently, there hasn't been a post-1960 DBQs yet.
Vietnam and Progressivism look like good choices =/</p>
<p>do you think the guilded age may be part of our dbq</p>
<p>I prefer antebellum stuff, all the way back to colonial. However, From what I've heard, Vietnam is likely. Progressivism wouldn't be too bad, but it sounds more like a regular essay one to me.</p>
<p>1997 - women's rights</p>
<p>I'm going to guess it will be a comparison...perhaps Second Great Awakening vs. Progressive Movement? Or, as suggested in another thread, The Great Society vs. New Deal?</p>
<p>"How progressive was the progressive era"?
Mexican-American war?</p>
<p>WHOA!~ that was unexpected</p>
<p>what was it?</p>
<p>haha i was not expecting that prompt in the least..i liked it though.</p>
<p>I had no idea about any outside info for it. It wasn't too difficult overall though...</p>
<p>haha u were all wrong</p>
<p>women's rights --change from "the republican motherhood"</p>
<p>Wait so the whole essay was supposed to be on cult of domesticity and republican motherhood or could you explain how womne's roles progressed from domestic and more industrial?</p>
