history paper

Choose one prompt and answer it in a short essay of 250-500 words. The essay should fully consider the question(s) and should pull from the course readings, as well as your own experiences and opinions, if applicable. Show me that you've really thought about your topic and that you have a full understanding of this issue. Your essay should have both a strong introduction (with a thesis statement that clearly states your argument) and a strong conclusion. 1. Based on what we've covered so far in terms of social issues in the United States during the 19th century and early 20th century, how do you see the progressive movement in this country trying to change how Americans lived? What were some of the progressive era's most important reforms and do you see this era as having changed the United States? How? 2. Why were Americans neutral at the beginning of the Great War and then why did they abandon that policy? Describe American involvement in the war and why America's entry determined the war's outcome.
