Welcome

Welcome to our class blog! You are currently enrolled in a course entitled "American Century." Last semester we covered the inception of the United States, the building of this nation by founding fathers and mothers, and the trials, tribulations and triumphs leading Americans up to the Civil War. This semester we will cover Reconstruction through the 20th century. Our blog will serve to keep us up to date on assignments, as a forum for survey and discussion, and as a launching pad to the rest of the web which will help aid our research as historians. Enjoy!

Due Monday April 4th

Block C: Skim Chapter 19 and for "notes" define these key terms: robber barons, corporations, pooling, horizontal combination, and vertical integration. You should build on your understanding of the rises to success of Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Gould and Morgan. Lastly, brief yourself on the experience of laborers.

We will discuss those, and other concepts, in class tomorrow in addition to reviewing the political cartoons!
