Immigration and Urbanization

In our next unit, we will be doing a short research project on the impact of policies and reforms that arose due to the changes in industry, immigration, urbanization, and the labor force.  For today, you should get familiar with two of those topics by completing this webquest that will take you to the Library of Congress' exhibit on immigration and allow you to explore the famous photographs of Jacob Riis taken to document the immigrant experience in cities in the early 20th Century.

Learning About Jim Crow

When you finished the Reconstruction webquest, the final question I posed was whether or not it was an unfinished revolution.  As you explore more details about Jim Crow and the results of the Plessy v. Ferguson decision, continue to consider that question as well as what it might take to finish the revolution in light of the new information that you learn.  Please use this document to explore: Jim Crow Webquest.
