US History: April 2-6

This week we will continue our investigation of the birth of "Modern America." We will analyze how industrialization changed America by bringing new immigrants from all over the world to the United States. We will continue to discuss major topics such as the Robber Barons of industry (John D. Rockefeller pictured at left) that controlled the major businesses in America. We will also focus on the major social and political movements of the late 19th and early 20th century, most importantly, the Progressive Movement.
