How did the discovery of silver in Nevada shape the course of western and U.S. History? What were the issues that led to the Civil War? What were President Lincoln's objectives in the war? What happened to him at the end of the war, and how did that change the relations between the Northern and Southern states? How did the immigration policies of the late 18th and early 20th centuries impact America? Is immigration a good thing for our country or not? Why do you say that? Use specific examples. What caused World War 1? How did the United States become involved? How was it the "first modern war"? Why was it called the "War to End All Wars?" How did it end? Do you think it set the stage for later conflict? Explain fully. What were the primary causes of World War 2? How did the United States participate in the war (even before December 7. 1941)? What lessons should we have learned from World War 2? Have we learned those lessons? Why do you say that? Compare and contrast the economic situation of the 1930s to that of today. What did we learn from that period? What should we have learned that we didn't? Why was 1897 a special year in the history of American technology?
