Consider dramatic economic, political, cultural, or social developments that have challenged workers, their communities, and their movements, such as industrialization; immigration; war; depression; radicalism and anti-radicalism. Focusing primarily on one development and primarily on one group of working people, discuss the challenges those people faced, the conflicting choices available to them, and the decisions they made over time. Discuss at least three (3) historic moments, using the course readings as your foundational research, and bringing in outside primary documents to deepen and complicate your narrative.
Compare three distinct historic moments and examples from at least three different weeks of the semester.
At least one moment/example should be in the 20th century.
At least one moment/example should be in the 19th century.
