61. AHA: Publications Catalogue: Essays On The New American History and revise the history of american immigration and ethnicity as a whole. Richard White is Margaret Byrne Professor of american history at Stanford http://www.historians.org/pubs/NewAmericanHistory.htm

Essays on The New American History Representative of the "new history," these essays were edited for the AHA by noted historian Eric Foner. They were first published as a volume in 1990 by Temple University Press, then published as individual pamphlets in 1991 by the AHA. Initially developed to acquaint high school history teachers with recent trends in historical scholarship, the scope of this series extends well beyond the secondary school classroom. These essays have become indispensable study tools for those in higher education as well. Revised and expanded in 1997, the original essays have been joined by additional essays on intellectual history, the history of the West, and the histories of the family and sexuality. Sixteen prominent scholars have contributed thought-provoking interpretations of historically significant issues, including the roles of gender, ethnicity, labor, economy, politics, and culture. Nearly all essays have been revised (and some entirely rewritten) to bring the texts and bibliographies up to date.

Students will understand the following: Immigration to the United States can be a controversial issue. Reading both fiction and nonfiction books about immigration can help us formulate our own opinions. Materials For this lesson, you will need: Library books listed below Procedures Share with students that since Europeans and then others first started coming to this country many have written fiction and nonfiction about the immigrant experience. Similarly, for a long time now, there has been debate about how many if any immigrants should come into the United States each year. The debate, you should explain, will probably continue. Explain that after an initial class discussion, students will read a book related to immigration, will write a review of the book, and will then hold a follow-up discussion on the topic. Lead a discussion that can include both students born in the United States and students who have immigrated here. You might focus the discussion on the following questions:

Immigration Act of 1965 Back to "Cold War Era" Chronology The main reason the Immigration Act was the Civil Rights Movement. The Civil Rights Movement was to rid America of racial/ethnic discrimination. Two other bills, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Johnson signed for the same reason. [5] The Immigration Act was therefore a corrective measure instituted to atone for past history of discrimination in immigration. Two earlier laws reflecting this discrimination were the National Origin’s Act of the 1924 and the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952. [6] Both of these granted residency on the basis of national origin, and were particularly discriminative towards Asians. For instance, under the McCarran-Walter Act, while the quota for European immigrants was 149,667, the quota for Asian immigrants was 2,990, and the African quota was 1,400. [7] The Immigration Act of 1965, therefore, shifted the focus to non-European countries, especially those of the third world. Both Johnson and President Kennedy wished that by reforming immigration law, they would not only gain auspicious international relations (especially with non-White nations), but they would also confirm America’s bedrock principles of America being a free country, where everyone is considered equal. [8] Immigrants granted residency in America are now considered for admittance based on skill or for family reunification. More specifically, immigrants are accepted according to following preferences: unmarried adults whose parents are American citizens, spouses and offspring of permanent residents, gifted professionals, scientists, and artists. The last preferences are the following: married offspring of American citizens, siblings of adult citizens, skilled/unskilled individuals of occupations lacking workers in America, and refugees from either communist (or communist-controlled) countries, or those from the Middle-East. [9] The Immigration Act of 1965 became law on July 1, 1968. [10] Even though the Immigration Act of 1965 was not implemented to bring an immediate end to discrimination, it was definitely seen as a major contributor in ending it.

Advanced Search/Archive Thursday September 22, 2005 USINFO Publications CHAPTER 8: Discontent and Reform An Outline of American History "A great democracy will be neither great nor a democracy if it is not progressive." Former President Theodore Roosevelt, circa 1910 AGRARIAN DISTRESS AND THE RISE OF POPULISM In spite of their remarkable progress, 19th-century American farmers experienced recurring periods of hardship. Several basic factors were involved soil exhaustion, the vagaries of nature, a decline in self-sufficiency, and the lack of adequate legislative protection and aid. Perhaps most important, however, was over-production. Along with the mechanical improvements which greatly increased yield per hectare, the amount of land under cultivation grew rapidly throughout the second half of the century, as the railroads and the gradual displacement of the Plains Indians opened up new areas for western settlement. A similar expansion of agricultural lands in countries such as Canada, Argentina and Australia compounded these problems in the international market, where much of U.S. agricultural production was now sold. The farther west the settlers went, the more dependent they became on the railroads to move their goods to market. At the same time, farmers paid high costs for manufactured goods as a result of the protective tariffs that Congress, backed by Eastern industrial interests, had long supported. Over time, the Midwestern and Western farmer fell ever more deeply in debt to the banks that held their mortgages.

Landmarks of American History Teacher Workshops The following examples are hypothetical and are offered for illustrative purposes only. Independence Hall and the Birth of the United States A research library, in conjunction with a Philadelphia-area college, conducts four week-long residential summer workshops on events that took place at Independence Hall and were central to America's founding. Events to be examined include the Continental Congress's declaration of independence in 1776 and the Philadelphia Convention's drafting of the Constitution in 1787. Guided by humanities scholars, fifty schoolteachers study the architecture of Independence Hall, its use by official and unofficial bodies, and the debates that led to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Ancillary texts include the records of the Continental and Confederation Congresses, Thomas Jefferson's drafts of the Declaration of Independence, James Madison's notes on the debates of the Philadelphia Convention, and materials about the Constitution's ratification such as The Federalist . Workshop scholars include an architectural historian, a political scientist, an expert on the history of the American Revolution, and staff members of scholarly editions of significant papers collections. The teachers attend lecture/discussion sessions with scholars in the mornings and work on document-based teaching units and evaluation plans with master teachers in the afternoon. Accommodations for the teachers are provided by a local university.
