THE FILMS:
The Roosevelt’s: Theodore, Eleanor, and Franklin. – [PBS. Showing on PBS this fall]
The Men Who Built America Series [ On the Second Industrial Revolution in the U.S.
Has 1 hour or so segments on Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, JP Morgan, John D Rockefeller, Henry Ford. Each segment = .5 EC pts; I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this. It gives an excellent sense of the excitement of the times. At times it brushes over the pain and suffering that these men participated in causing workers and families. Question to discuss: How could the useful aspects of this happened with out the corruption and suffering?]
