Lesson 3: African-American Soldiers Supplementary Materials African-American Soldiers Notes http://international.loc.gov/learn/features/timeline/civilwar/aasoldrs/soldiers.html In 1862, President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation opened the door for African-Americans to enlist in the Union Army. Although many had wanted to join the war effort earlier, they were prohibited from enlisting by a federal law dating back to 1792. President Lincoln had also feared that if he authorized their recruitment, border states would secede from the Union. By the end of the war, approximately 180,000 African-American soldiers had joined the fight.

In addition to the problems of war faced by all soldiers, African-American soldiers faced additional difficulties created by racial prejudice. Although many served in the infantry and artillery, discriminatory practices resulted in large numbers of African-American soldiers being assigned to perform non-combat, support duties as cooks, laborers, and teamsters. African-American soldiers were paid $10 per month, from which $3 was deducted for clothing. White soldiers were paid $13 per month, from which no clothing allowance was deducted. If captured by the Confederate Army, African-American soldiers confronted a much greater threat than did their white counterparts.

In spite of their many hardships, African-American soldiers served the Union Army well and distinguished themselves in many battles. Of their service to the nation Frederick Douglass said, "Once let the black man get upon his person the brass letters U.S., let him get an eagle on his button, and a musket on his shoulder and bullets in his pockets, and there is no power on earth which can deny that he has earned the right of citizenship in the United States." African-American soldiers comprised about 10 percent of the Union Army. It is estimated that one-third of all African-Americans who enlisted lost their lives.

http://international.loc.gov/learn/features/timeline/civilwar/aasoldrs/dobbs.html "I might add that I'm devoting quite a bit of my time to the platform as a public speaker. I was Emancipation Day Speaker for 'Wings over Jordan', a radio program heard every Sunday morning over the CBS, through station WGAR, Cleveland, under the direction of Dr. Glenn T. Settle, with the [Gethsemane?] Choir of Cleveland, with [orth?] Kramer its conductor. This is a distinct honor granted my people through the CBS as it gives our ministers, educators, and leaders an opportunity which otherwise is not granted us. I would like here at this point to tell you some of the things I said in this address, that is, if it won't take too much of your time.

"The subject was 'The Negro in America'. I explained the significance of Emancipation Day by saying: 'To the twelve million Negroes of America this day has a higher signification - to us it is Emancipation Day. On January 1, 1863, in the City of Washington, President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which freed 3 1/2 million slaves. Today their descendants pause to commemorate that historic event with profound gratitude to God and to Abraham Lincoln. . . .

"In the Civil War, 200,000 fought in the Federal Army for their own freedom and the preservation of the Union. Three million slaves made crops by day and protected homes, by night, of their masters who were fighting to keep them in bondage. Such loyalty and devotion

have never been surpassed by any people in any period of history. In the World War 380,000 were enrolled - 200,000 of whom saw service in France. The Negro has fought valiantly in every American War and has yet to produce a traitor to the flat!"

The compiled military service records of the men who served with the United States Colored Troops (USCT) during the Civil War number approximately 185,000, including the officers who were not African-American. This major collection of records rests in the stacks of the National Archives and Record Administration (NARA). They are little used, and their content is largely undiscovered. Since the time of the American Revolution, African-Americans have volunteered to serve their country in time of war. The Civil War was no exception—official sanction was the difficulty.

In the fall of 1862 there were at least three Union regiments of African-Americans raised in New Orleans, Louisiana: the First, Second, and Third Louisiana Native Guard. These units later became the First, Second, and Third Infantry, Corps d’Afrique, and then the Seventy-third, Seventy-fourth, and Seventy-fifth United States Colored Infantry (USCI). The First South Carolina Infantry (African Descent) was not officially organized until January 1863; however, three companies of the regiment were on coastal expeditions as early as November 1862. They would become the Thirty-third USCI. Similarly, the First Kansas Colored Infantry (later the Seventy-ninth [new] USCI) was not mustered into service until January 1863, even though the regiment had already participated in the action at Island Mound, Missouri, on October 27, 1862. These early unofficial regiments received little federal support, but they showed the strength of African-Americans’ desire to fight for freedom.

The first official authorization to employ African-Americans in federal service was the Second Confiscation and Militia Act of July 17, 1862. This act allowed President Abraham Lincoln to receive into the military service persons of African descent and gave permission to use them for any purpose “he may judge best for the public welfare.” However, the President did not authorize use of African-Americans in combat until issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863: “And I further declare and make known, that such persons of suitable condition, will be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service.” With these words the Union army changed.

Page 6: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

In late January 1863, Governor John Andrew of Massachusetts received permission to raise a regiment of African-American soldiers. This was the first black regiment to be organized in the North. The pace of organizing additional regiments, however, was very slow. In an effort to change this, Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton sent Gen. Lorenzo Thomas to the lower Mississippi valley in March to recruit African-Americans. Thomas was given broad authority. He was to explain the administration’s policy regarding these new recruits, and he was to find volunteers to raise and command them. Stanton wanted all officers of such units to be white, but that policy was softened to allow African-American surgeons and chaplains. By the end of the war, there were at least eighty-seven African-American officers in the Union army. Thomas’s endeavor was very successful, and on May 22, 1863, the Bureau of Colored Troops was established to coordinate and organize regiments from all parts of the country. Created under War Department General Order No. 143, the bureau was responsible for handling “all matters relating to the organization of Colored Troops.” The bureau was directly under the Adjutant General’s Office, and its procedures and rules were specific and strict. All African-American regiments were now to be designated United States Colored Troops (USCT). At this time there were some African-American regiments with state names and a few regiments in the Department of the Gulf designated as Corps d’Afrique. All these were ultimately assimilated into the USCT, even though a small number of the regiments retained their state designations.

The Project

In February 1994, NARA began a pilot project to test procedures to arrange the compiled service records of Union volunteers prior to microfilming. This effort was made in conjunction with the National Park Service’s Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System (CWSS). The CWSS is a computerized database identifying combatants from the Union and the Confederacy. The data will include the name of the soldier or sailor and the regiment or ship to which he belonged. In addition, the system will identify the battles in which the named soldier’s or sailor’s unit participated. When this database is completed, it will be installed at the major Civil War sites operated by the Park Service. The CWSS will refer the park visitor to NARA for further documentation and information on Civil War participants.

The first index to be released by the National Park Service is that of the United States Colored Troops. This list of names will be available at the African-American Civil War Memorial in Washington, D.C., as well as at NPS battlefield sites. The memorial is due for completion in the fall of 1997. When this monument is completed and the CWSS is in place, it is anticipated that there will be an increase in requests for the records of the USCT. Every new movie or television program about the Civil War period triggers a substantial rise in mail, telephone, and walk-in

http://tps.waynesburg.edu/swpa/SocialHistoryoftheUS.pdf 86

Page 7: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

requests to NARA. To answer these demands in an era of downsizing, NARA created the Civil War Conservation Corps (CWCC). The CWCC is a volunteer project operating with over fifty private citizens who are members of the National Archives Volunteer Association. This group is opening and chronologically arranging the compiled service records of each soldier who became a USCT volunteer. This is the first part of a larger project to microfilm all the records of Civil War Union volunteer soldiers. NARA’s collection of Confederate military service records is already available on microfilm.

The Records

The CWCC volunteers have brought to light records that reveal fascinating details and stories behind the names of the soldiers of the USCT. Samuel Cabble, for example, a private in the Fifty-fifth Massachusetts Infantry (colored) was a slave before he joined the army. He was twenty-one years old. Among the documents in his file was the following letter:

Dear Wife i have enlisted in the army i am now in the state of Massachusetts but before this letter reaches you i will be in North Carlinia and though great is the present national dificulties yet i look forward to a brighter day When i shall have the opertunity of seeing you in the full enjoyment of fredom i would like to no if you are still in slavery if you are it will not be long before we shall have crushed the system that now opreses you for in the course of three months you shall have your liberty. great is the outpouring of the colered peopl that is now rallying with the hearts of lions against that very curse that has seperated you an me yet we shall meet again and oh what a happy time that will be when this ungodly rebellion shall be put down and the curses of our land is trampled under our feet i am a soldier now and i shall use my utmost endeavor to strike at the rebellion and the heart of this system that so long has kept us in chains . . . remain your own afectionate husband until death—Samuel Cabble

The letter was in Cabble’s file with an application for compensation signed by his former owner. It was used as proof that his owner had offered Samuel for enlistment.

Such manumission documents are unique to the records of the USCT. To facilitate recruiting in the states of Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky, the War Department issued General Order No. 329 on October 3, 1863. Section 6 of the order stated that if any citizen should offer his or her slave for enlistment into the military service, that person would, "if such slave be accepted, receive from the recruiting officer a certificate thereof, and become entitled to compensation for the service or labor of said slave, not exceeding the sum of three hundred dollars, upon filing a valid deed of manumission and of release, and making satisfactory proof of title." For this reason, records of manumission are contained in the compiled service records.

http://tps.waynesburg.edu/swpa/SocialHistoryoftheUS.pdf 87

Page 8: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

Some documents contain well-known names. Several slaves belonging to Susanna Mudd, a relative of Dr. Samuel Mudd, enlisted in the Union army. Required evidence included title to the slave and loyalty to the Union government. Further, every owner signed an oath of allegiance to the government of the United States. Each statement was witnessed and certified.

The CWCC has also discovered five photographs, a rare find in the military records. Each picture depicts wounds received by the soldier. One such soldier was Pvt. Louis Martin of the Twenty-ninth USCI. The photograph was glued to his certificate of disability for discharge and shows amputation of his right arm and left leg. He participated in the battle known as "The Crater" at Petersburg, Virginia, on July 30, 1864, and received shell and gunshot wounds while charging the enemy’s works. Further study of the service record leads the researcher to Private Martin’s pension file, where an additional photograph is found.

The story of Garland White appears in the records of the Twenty-eighth USCI. He was a slave belonging to Robert Toombs of Georgia. White, who was literate, studied to become a minister while still a slave. According to documents in his file, he was licensed and "authorized to preach the Gospel" on September 10, 1859, in Washington, Georgia. In 1860 Toombs, with White as a house servant, was living in Washington, D.C. The Toombs’s residence was two doors away from William Seward’s, at the time a senator from New York. It is apparent from correspondence in his record that White enjoyed a friendly relationship with Seward.

During his time in Washington, White became a fugitive and made his way to Canada. According to his records, he was appointed to the "Pastorial Charge of London mission. The said mission being under the jurisdiction of the B. M. E. Annual Conference." It is not known how long he stayed in Canada, but he was very aware of the Civil War and knew that Seward was President Lincoln’s secretary of state. He wrote to him from Canada and told him of his desire to serve his country in any way he could. Garland White returned to the United States (the exact date is not known) and began recruiting for the new USCT. He went to New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Indiana. He raised most of the men of the Twenty-eighth USCI. He petitioned Seward for help in obtaining the chaplaincy of the regiment. In his letter to Seward, White wrote, "I also joined the regiment as a private to be with my boys and should I fail to get my commission I shall willingly serve my time out."

On September 1, 1864, the Field and Company Officers elected Garland H. White chaplain of the Twenty-eighth USCI, subject to the approval of the secretary of war. On October 25, by order of the secretary of war, Garland H. White was appointed chaplain of the Twenty-eighth USCI. He was thirty-five years old. All the previous correspondence was found in his compiled military service record.

Among the documents in the compiled service records are many letters from mothers and wives. They detail hardship, illness, and most of all, lack of money. They are sometimes written by the sender and sometimes dictated, but all indicate the suffering war brought to everyone, especially the families of the African-American soldier. Such suffering is evident in the pleas of Rebecca Barrett to her son, William, of the Seventy-fourth USCI.

My Dear Son It is with pleasure I now embrace the opportunity of penning you a few lines to inform you that I am received your most welcomed letter for I had despaired of your writing. We are both sick pap is prostrated on his bed and has been so for three months and three weeks he got a little better but it did not last long I am very sorry that you have enlisted again for I wanted to see you once more You say you will send me some money do my son for God sake for I am needy at this time the Doctors are so dear that it takes all you can make to pay thier bill I work when I am able but that is so seldom God only knows what I will [do] this winter for I dont. Everything is two prices and one meal cost as much a[s] three used to cost when the rich grumble God help the poor for it is a true saying that (poverty is no disgrace but very unhandy) and I find it very unhandy for if ever a poor soul was poverty stricken I am one and My son if you ever thought of your poor old mother God Grant you may think of her now for this is a needy time. No more but remain Your mother Rebecca Barrat

From Letty Barnes to her husband, Joshua, of the Thirty-eighth USCI:

My dear husband I have just this evening received your letter sent me by Fredrick Finich you can imagin how anxious and worry I had become about you. And so it seems that all can get home once in awhile to see and attend to their familey but you I do really think it looks hard your poor old Mother is hear delving and working like a dog to try to keep soul and body together and here am I with to little children and myself to support and not one soul or one dollar to help us I do think if your officers could see us they would certanly let you come home and bring us a little money.

She continues in this vein enumerating the various hardships the family is enduring. At the end of her letter she writes lovingly:

I have sent you a little keepsake in this letter which you must prize for my sake it is a set of Shirt Bossom Buttons whenever you look at them think of me and know that I am always looking and wishing for you write to me as soon as you receive this let me know how you like them and when you are coming home and beleave me as ever Your devoted wife Letty Barnes

Page 10: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

Joshua Barnes received his buttons and was granted leave to visit his family. William Barrett did send his mother some money. Garland White survived the war and lived with his family in North Carolina. Samuel Cabble returned to Missouri for his wife, and together they moved to Denver, Colorado.

The compiled service records of the United States Colored Troops must not be overlooked when researching African-Americans. The letters here are a small sample to be found in this important collection. They are a physical link to the Civil War era, and they bring to life the service of the African-American soldier. As each jacket is arranged and prepared for microfilming, we come one step closer to bringing attention to a major group of unexplored records.

Created by: Chelsea McHenry Date: April 2008

Letter, Abraham Lincoln to Charles Sumner outlining the president's belief that the dependents of black and white soldiers should be treated equally, 19 May 1864. (Abraham Lincoln Papers) To anyone familiar with the life and career of Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), it should come as no surprise that the widow of Maj. Lionel F. Booth, an African-American soldier, would be admitted to the White House and given a personal audience with the president. However, not only did Lincoln speak privately with Mary Elizabeth Wayt Booth, he penned this letter to Charles Sumner (1811-1874), who was both friend and critic, knowing that the senator from Massachusetts would pursue the issue of equal compensation for the wives and children of black soldiers who had given their lives in the cause of freedom. Major Booth had been the commanding officer at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, and was killed by a sniper's bullet just hours before the fort fell and the victorious Confederates engaged in one of the most brutal massacres of the Civil War. The president's letter to Sumner appears to have initiated the legislative action that resulted in H.R. 406, Section 13, which provided equal treatment for the widows and orphans of black soldiers. Interestingly, whatever her efforts in behalf of widows and orphans, there is no evidence that Mrs. Booth ever applied for or received a government pension. John R. Sellers, Manuscript Division Reproduction Number: A59 (color slide)

Progress and Reform in Pennsylvania

Rationale

Mary Sielski

This unit covers a period in United States History from the 1870’s to 1914, a

period of industrialization, progress, and reform. The lessons in this unit focus on

Pennsylvania history. The main focus is on the attempts by individuals to find solutions

to problems arising from expansion in the west, industrialization, urbanization, and

immigration. These reforms developed in response to the ideas of race, ethnicity, social

class, and gender in a rapidly changing society.

http://tps.waynesburg.edu/swpa/SocialHistoryoftheUS.pdf 107

Page 28: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

Step by Step Procedures: 1. On the first day of the lesson, the classroom teacher will explain the meaning of

the phrase written on the board and how the class will learn about assimilation of Native Americans at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School.

2. To accomplish this goal, the class will be divided into cooperative learning groups.

3. The teacher will explain to the class the importance of working together as a “team” in order to finish the assignment. Part of the grade for this lesson will depend on all members working together to accomplish this goal.

4. Each student in this class (of 20 students) will be given an index card with a number on it that will determine which group they will be in. The teacher has already arranged all the students by groups in advance.

5. Before the students report to their respective groups, the teacher will remind them of classroom procedures while working in groups.

6. The students will report to their groups and the teacher will explain that they will be involved with two teams, their “home team” and an “expert team.”

7. The teacher will appoint one student from each group to be the group leader. 8. Each group’s leader will be given five packets, and will then give one to each

member of the group. 9. Students will NOT be allowed to open their packets until the teacher explains that

they will find a sheet of paper listing a subject pertaining to the lesson. This paper will have a list of questions that are to be completed. Some of the packets will also have primary sources.

10. Students will need to use the class textbook and Internet sources to complete the assignment. The teacher will provide maps, photos, and letters from the Library of Congress.

11. The subject that they have been assigned is also the expert group of which they will be a part.

12. After the students are assigned to their “expert” groups, the teacher will explain how they must work together to reach information in order to complete this assignment and take the information back to their “home” group.

13. In the “home” groups, students will have a rubric to follow to assure that they can ascertain what is expected of them.

14. The students will put the papers back in the packets and write their names on the fronts. The teacher will collect the packets and ask if there are any questions.

15. On day two, the groups will be assigned a certain amount of time to use the computer lab.

16. After returning from the lab, students will report to their home groups and the teacher will give the leader of each group the packets to distribute to the group members. The teacher will randomly collect a paper from one student in each group to assure that each person remains on task and completes the report.

17. After students receive their packets, they will report to their expert groups. The groups will be given time in the computer lab and classroom to analyze primary sources and to collect information.

18. On the third day of the lesson, students will finish the papers with their expert groups.

http://tps.waynesburg.edu/swpa/SocialHistoryoftheUS.pdf 108

Page 29: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

19. On day four, students will stay in their home groups for the entire class period to study the information collected by each expert group.

20. The packets will be collected for grading. 21. On the fifth day, the class will be given the entire class period to complete a quiz

on the material. Enrichment Technique: Use primary sources from the Library of Congress to conduct research on the life of Jim Thorpe. Presentations should include both pictures and articles and will demonstrate how assimilation affected Jim Thorpe and his life. Assessment: Informal assessment will consist of observations made during the cooperative learning. Formal assessment will include the completion of the packets and the quiz.

Unit Plan: Progress and Reform Lesson Plan Title: Settlement Houses Grade Level: Eight PA Academic Standards Addressed: History: 8.1.9.B: Analyze and interpret historical sources.

8.3.9.A: Identify and analyze the political and cultural contributions of individuals and groups to United States history form 1787 to 1914.

8.3.9.C: Analyze how continuity and change has influenced United States history from 1787 to 1914.

General Goal: Research the purpose for establishing settlement houses in the early 1900’s in America. Objectives: Students will:

1. Explore the need for settlement houses due to increasing numbers of immigrants. 2. Examine the social and educational opportunities offered by settlement houses. 3. Create charts and graphs on membership at the Kingsley Settlement House in

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 4. Create charts and graphs showing areas of industry in Pittsburgh, with the numbers

of immigrant workers in those areas. 5. Evaluate the importance of settlement houses in solving social and economic

problems among immigrant families. Required Materials: Class Textbook Internet Sources:

Various other sources pertaining to settlement houses Library of Congress: (primary sources) Photos, articles on Jane Addams and Hull House, map of Pittsburgh in 1902 Lesson: Settlement Houses Time Frame: Five class periods Anticipatory Set: Show students a map of Pittsburgh, 1902. Step By Step Procedures:

1. Day one of this unit lesson will be spent lecturing on the establishment of settlement houses in America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

2. The lecture will start with Jane Addams and the establishment of Hull House in Chicago as the first model. The teacher will explain the scientific approach taken

http://tps.waynesburg.edu/swpa/SocialHistoryoftheUS.pdf 123

Page 44: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

by settlement house founders and why the founders looked at the demographics and took surveys of neighborhoods. Ask the class why they would do this?

3. The lecture should also include the lobbying by settlement house founders for state and federal legislation on social and economic problems. Explain programs offered by settlement houses.

4. Distribute a copy of “How to Found a Settlement House” to the students. Read the step-by-step guide. Discuss the information provided by this article.

5. The second day of the lesson is spent discussing the Kingsley Settlement House in Pittsburgh, PA. Provide the students with handouts on Kingsley.

6. Discuss the article on the Kingsley Settlement House and the programs that were provided.

7. The third day of the lesson will be spent in the computer lab working on charts/graphs. Explain to the students that they will create the charts and graphs representing the different ethnic groups surrounding the Kingsley Settlement House.

8. Day four of the lesson will also involve the creation of charts/graphs. Students will return to the lab and work on the charts and graphs representing areas of industry in Pittsburgh that would attract numbers of immigrant workers. Ask the students what they thought Pittsburgh had to offer.

9. The fifth (and last) day of the lesson will be spent discussing the findings of the charts /graphs. What do the charts and graphs tell us about Pittsburgh during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? Collect the charts and graphs.

10. In closing, ask the class the following question. If Jane Addams was starting a Hull House in the twenty-first century, where would the immigrants come from and why?

Inclusion Techniques for Students with Special Needs: Modifications/Accommodations: For the students with learning disabilities, (as well as the rest of the class), the handout on “How to Found a Settlement House” is a good step-by-step guide to understand the process. The charts and graphs are great visual aids. Enrichment: Students will use the information they have researched to create a brochure describing the Kingsley Settlement. The brochure’s target audience is to be immigrants in the area and the goal is to attract immigrants to Kingsley. Post-Instruction: Informal assessment will consist of observation of student’s participation during lecture questions. Formal assessment will include completion of the charts and graphs.

Starr and Addams's Hull House initially provided welfare assistance to needy families and recreation facilities for slum children. The center eventually expanded to offer a wide array of services including boarding rooms for female workers, a nursery, a community kitchen, academic courses, social clubs, and meeting space for union activities. Today, Hull House continues to build on the enduring vision of Jane Addams through a rich array of services serving several hundred thousand people in Chicago.

Anticipatory Set: Show the class a picture of a famous wood engraving from Harper’s Weekly, known as “Making Steel at Pittsburgh: The Bessemers at Work.” Ask them if they know where the picture was taken. Step By Step Procedures:

1. Start the lesson by explaining the picture that was passed around to the class. 2. Explain to the students that by the 1880’s, numerous iron works had been

established in the city of Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. 3. Give information on the hiring of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. 4. Explain the opinions of steel executives in connection with craft unions in the

industry. 5. The teacher will then explain to the class that they will learn about a dispute

between labor and management in 1892 at the Homestead Works. 6. In order to accomplish this goal, the class will be divided into cooperative learning

groups. 7. Each student in this class (of 20 students) will be given an index card with a

number on it. The teacher has already arranged students by groups. 8. Before the students report to their groups, the teacher will remind them of

classroom procedures while working in their groups. 9. The teacher will then have the students report to their respective groups. They will

explain to the class the importance of working together as a “team” in order to finish the assignment. Grades will depend on all members working together.

10. The teacher will appoint one student from each group to be the “group leader.” This person should be a mature student that the teacher feels is able to lead the group discussion.

11. Each group leader will be given a packet that contains a copy of a song about the Homestead Strike. Each group will receive a different song.

12. The teacher will explain to the class that they will read the lyrics of the song and try to figure out what is happening. They are to write down names, places, or anything to help decipher the song. The formal lesson will start the next day.

13. Before the bell rings, the students will replace papers in the packet and write the group leader’s name on the packet. The teacher will collect the packets and ask if there are any questions.

14. On day two, the students will report to their groups. The leader of each group will be given the packets and the teacher will review the directions again for this assignment.

15. At the end of the class period, the teacher will collect the packets with all the information completed for the day.

16. On day three, the students will report to their groups. The teacher will give the leaders of the groups the packets. The packets will contain additional information. Besides the copies of the songs, there will be primary sources and copies of the newspaper notes.

17. Each student in the group is given a copy of newspaper notes to complete. Each student in his or her respective group is assigned part of the chart to complete.

http://tps.waynesburg.edu/swpa/SocialHistoryoftheUS.pdf 130

Page 51: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

18. The students will use primary sources and the class textbook to complete the chart and newspaper notes.

19. Before the end of class, the teacher will remind the students that the charts must be completed the next day.

20. On the fourth day, the students will complete this assignment. The teacher will collect the packets and explain to the class that the following class period will be spent discussing the assignment.

21. On day five, the teacher will have each student from their group give the information that they were assigned to complete on the chart. The class will then analyze the songs that explained the strike.

Inclusion Techniques for Students with Special Needs: Modifications/Accommodations: When assigning groups, the position of leader may be given to a gifted student. All students (including those with learning difficulties) will benefit from the chart. They will learn to discriminate, sequence, and organize information. Enrichment: Students will use primary sources to create a display board to explain another example of late nineteenth century labor unrest. Information should include the following: event, participants, force used against the workers, and the outcome and/or results of the event. Post-Instruction: Informal assessment will consist of observations made during the cooperative learning and class discussion. Formal assessment will include the completion of charts.

Unit Plan: Progress and Reform Lesson Plan Title: Ida Tarbell Grade Level: Eight PA Academic Standards Addressed: History: 8.1.9.D: Analyze and interpret historical research. 8.2.9.A: Analyze the political and cultural contributions of individuals and groups to

Pennsylvania history from 1787 to 1914. 8.3.9.A: Identify and analyze the political and cultural contributions of individuals and

groups to United States history from 1787 to 1914. General Goal: Students will research investigative journalism during the Progressive Era. Focus will be on Ida Tarbell and her contribution to Progressive reform. Objectives: Students will:

1. Define the following vocabulary words: Progressivism, muckrakers, Ida Tarbell, and John D. Rockefeller.

2. Explain the rise of the progressive movement at the beginning of the 1900’s. 3. Examine primary sources to discover the significance of these articles in exposing

corruption in business. 4. Analyze the reasons for investigative journalism. 5. Evaluate the importance of investigative journalism to U.S. History.

Required Materials: Class Textbook Various Internet sources on Ida Tarbell:

i.e.http://www.explorepahistory.com http://members.tripod.com Content area sources and graphic organizers

Library of Congress: (www.loc.gov) documents and political cartoons Time Frame: Five class periods Anticipatory Set: The teacher will ask the students the following question: What does it mean to muck out the stalls of a barn? Then explain the term muckraker to the students and the person who gave them that name. Step By Step Procedures:

1. The first class period will be a lecture on the Progressive movement of the early 1900’s. Give the students a graphic organizer to follow along with the lecture. Give the students time before the bell rings to work on vocabulary words.

http://tps.waynesburg.edu/swpa/SocialHistoryoftheUS.pdf 135

Page 56: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

2. Review the important parts of the lecture from yesterday and then spend the remainder of the class period analyzing cartoons pertaining to Progressive Reform. Give the students a couple of questions to complete on the cartoons.

3. On day three of the unit, the students will receive copies of the articles written by Ida Tarbell for McClure magazine on John D. Rockefeller and Standard Oil. Discuss the significance of these articles in exposing corruption in business. Give the students “concept webs” to fill out. The concept web consists of who, what, why, when, where, and how questions.

4. The fourth day of the lesson will be spent in the computer lab. Before the students go to the lab, review the lesson from yesterday on Ida Tarbell.

5. Explain to the students that when they go to the lab, they will be researching articles from the modern era dealing with investigative journalism in business.

6. The students will print out their articles and return to the classroom ten minutes before the bell rings.

7. Explain to the students that for homework, they will need to read their articles and highlight sections that answer who, what, where, when, and how questions and complete a concept web on their article.

8. The articles will need to be returned the next class period for the students to work on Venn Diagrams.

9. Day five (the last day of the lesson) will be spent working on Venn Diagrams. The students will need the articles on Standard Oil returned. They will then need to get out their research articles and have them ready to work on.

10. The teacher will explain to the students how the Venn Diagrams are to be completed. The diagrams will show the difference in investigative journalism from the early 1900’s to the modern era. The students will also discover the similarities between the two eras and the importance of investigative journalism to U.S. history. The class period will be spent working on the Venn Diagrams.

Inclusion Techniques for Students with Special Needs: Modifications/Accommodations: All students (including those with learning disabilities) will benefit from the graphic organizer and Venn Diagram. Post Instruction: Informal assessment will include observations made during question and answering sessions. Formal assessment will include completion of the Venn Diagrams. Enrichment: Students may research and chart the best works of journalism in the twentieth century. The chart should include the following: who, what, when, where, why, and how. Students should focus on developing the connection between the achievements of Ida Tarbell and these later journalistic endeavors.

The Roaring Twenties 1914 – 1929

Emily Pozzi

Lesson 1 Rationale: From the late nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century, a strong reformist impulse began to spread through the faithful as they sought to remake society in God’s image. Gaining ground, the Temperance Movement appealed to many women’s groups, rural Protestants, and Progressives who felt that alcohol was at the root of all evil. This lesson will specifically address the steps which led to the Eighteenth Amendment having even worse effects than it was initially intended to solve and the reasons for why many Americans did not go along with it. Students will gain an understanding of Prohibition in the 1920’s and how the attempt to legally ban alcohol sales and consumption spawned what many believe to be worse effects than the initial problem it had sought to eliminate in the first place. Students will also gain an understanding of the attitudes of many Americans during this period and how these guided many of them to resist the 18th Amendment by going to great lengths to procure illegal alcohol in whatever way they could. Lesson 2 Rationale: The 1920’s brought a continued debate over whether or not it was acceptable to teach evolution in the public schools. The Butler Act, in 1925, and later the Scope’s Trial, attempted to address the continuing unrest surrounding this issue. This lesson will specifically address the Scopes Trial and its widespread controversy of creation versus evolution. Students will also understand that the issue of creation versus evolution is still readily debated and continues to be the source of controversy even today. Lesson 3 Rationale: The late nineteen and early twentieth centuries were turbulent times for women in the U.S. as they fought to gain their right to vote. In 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified, giving women the right to vote and with it an evolution of continuing change was ignited. The 1920’s had opened up a whole new world, a world with infinite possibilities…a world where for the first time women would demand the same freedoms as men. Young women were beginning to assert themselves. The 1920’s was undoubtedly a time of change for women, one which many times left them in a nasty tug-of-war match between the standards of old and new. This lesson will specifically address the obstacles, attitudes, and changing standards which were born during the early 1920’s. Students will gain an understanding for how the changing roles for women in the workplace and in their family life during the 1920’s ignited a revolution of change which has quite literally spanned the decades to present. Lesson 4 Rationale: During the twentieth century African-Americans sought to change their circumstances in mass numbers. The south seemed unwilling to change their ways and the north beckoned

http://tps.waynesburg.edu/swpa/SocialHistoryoftheUS.pdf 148

Page 69: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

with promises of change and the potential to thrive. African-Americans flooded the large cities of Chicago, New York, and St. Louis—in what was called the Great Migration. This lesson will specifically address the Great Migration and the many circumstances which fueled the migration of 5.2 million African-Americans from the south to the north. Students will gain an understanding of the situations which were still present in the south during the 1920’s which sparked the Great Migration of African-Americans to many northern cities. Students will also gain an understanding of the key figures which emerged during this time to lead and inspire the African-American community to take pride in themselves and their culture. Lesson 5 Rationale: During the twentieth century the Harlem neighborhood of New York City began to impact many urban centers throughout the United States. African-American artists, intellectuals, singers, musicians, and poets began to celebrate their black identity with dignity and creativity. They celebrated their freedom and expressed themselves on their own terms, exploring their identities as black Americans, and celebrating their black culture which had emerged out of the slavery of their ancestors and their cultural ties to their homeland of Africa. This lesson will specifically address many of the key African-American figures who are associated with the Harlem Renaissance and are known for their contributions in celebrating their black culture. Students will gain an understanding of the problems suffered in Harlem during the 1920’s which sparked a creative movement that expressed pride in the African-American experience. Students will also gain an understanding of the key figures which emerged during this time: poets, musicians, singers, and writers; all leaving their mark on the Harlem Renaissance by expressing their triumphs and struggles through this literary and artistic movement.

Lesson Overview: (Lecture from the Book) One vigorous clash between small-town and big-city Americans began in earnest in January 1920, when the 18th amendment went into effect. This amendment launched the era known as prohibition (When the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages were legally prohibited.) Reformers had long considered liquor a prime cause of corruption. At first, saloons closed their doors and arrests for drunkenness declined. In the aftermath of WWI, many Americans were tired of making sacrifices; they wanted to enjoy life. Most immigrant groups did not consider drinking a sin, but a natural part of socializing, and they resented the government. To obtain liquor illegally, drinkers went underground to hidden saloons and night-clubs known as speakeasies (because when inside, one spoke quietly or “easily” to avoid detection). Before long, people grew bolder in getting around the law. They learned to distill alcohol and built their own stills. Since alcohol was allowed for medicinal and religious purposes, prescriptions for alcohol skyrocketed. People also bought alcohol from bootleggers (smugglers practice of carrying liquor in the legs of boots) who smuggled it from Canada, Cuba and the West Indies. Prohibition not only generated disrespect for the law, but also contributed to organized crime, in nearly every major city. During the 1920’s, headlines reported 522 bloody gang killings and made the image of flashy Al Capone part of the folklore of the period. By the mid 1920’s, only 19 percent of Americans supported Prohibition. The rest, who wanted the amendment changed or repealed, believed that Prohibition caused worse effects than the initial problem. Finally, it was repealed in 1933. Rationale:

From the late nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century, a strong reformist impulse began to spread through the faithful as they sought to remake society in God’s image. Gaining ground, the Temperance Movement appealed to

http://tps.waynesburg.edu/swpa/SocialHistoryoftheUS.pdf 150

Page 71: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

many women’s groups, rural Protestants, and Progressives who felt that alcohol was at the root of all evil. Finally in 1919, the Eighteenth Amendment was ratified and the United States was Voted Dry. America was changing, though, and the 18th Amendment was met with much resistance. Many people were tired of making sacrifices, especially following World War I. People just wanted to be able to enjoy life and this was just another way in which they could not. By the mid 1920’s Prohibition had very few supporters and had in fact contributed to many effects which it had been put in place to prevent. This Lesson will specifically address the steps which led to the Eighteenth Amendment having even worse effects than it was initially intended to solve and the reasons for why many Americans did not go along with it.

General Goal:

Students will gain an understanding of Prohibition in the 1920’s and how the attempt to legally ban alcohol sales and consumption spawned what many believe to be worse effects than the initial problem it had sought to eliminate. Students will also gain an understanding of the attitudes of many Americans during this period and how these guided many of them to resist the 18th Amendment by going to great lengths to procure illegal alcohol in whatever way they could.

Objectives:

Students will be able to: 1. scrutinize how Prohibition in the 1920’s was an effort to help keep people on the

‘right path’ and in many cases yielded the exact opposite due to its widespread controversy.

2. examine Prohibition in the 1920’s and discuss whether this movement has had a direct impact on various parts of today’s society. If so, students will identify what remnants of today’s society are a reflection of Prohibition in the 1920’s.

3. assess why they believe that World War I played an important role in why the 18th Amendment was not widely accepted. Students will be able to assess what the overall attitude was of many Americans following World War I.

4. weigh in on what side they believe they would have taken in regards to Prohibition by writing about their various opinions and stances in regards to this heated topic.

Required Materials:

Textbook Notebook Pencil or Pen Primary Source Pictures (see Bibliographic Organizer) Smart Board or Large primary source Picture (duplicate of sources given to each

student) Handout: Simple Cause and Effect Study Guide, Prohibition, Speakeasies,

Bootleggers, and Organized Crime (Inclusion Strategy) Homework: Handout: Whose Side Would You Have Been On?

http://tps.waynesburg.edu/swpa/SocialHistoryoftheUS.pdf 151

Page 72: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

Step-By-Step Procedures: In this lesson students will become familiar with the varying points of view which were ignited during the 1920’s following the ratification of the 18th amendment. 1. Teacher will hand out a primary source picture to every student in the

classroom. Depending on how many students are in the classroom will determine how many pictures you need or whether several of your students will have the same primary source picture.

2. The primary source pictures which are handed out to each of the students should not have any information which would give the student a description of what is going on in the picture.

3. Teacher will explain that the students have ten minutes to look at the picture and write at least five things or more which they have determined by looking at the picture. The student should seek to analyze what period they believe the picture was taken, what is going on in the picture, who and what are doing it, etc.

4. Teacher will set timer in classroom for ten minutes. 5. Teacher will walk around the classroom as the students are viewing their

primary source pictures and assist any students who might need help. 6. When the timer goes off, students should have at least five things written

down in their notebooks about the primary source picture, with which they were presented at the beginning of class.

7. Teacher will go around the classroom and ask each student to share five things which they analyzed while looking at their primary source picture.

8. When the student has finished, either the teacher will bring up their primary source picture on the Smartboard or they will have a large duplicate of each student’s primary source picture. Discussion will ensue on what the picture is actually showing.

9. Teacher will pass out the handout: Simple Cause and Effect Study Guide, Prohibition, Speakeasies, Bootleggers, and Organized Crime.

10. Teacher and students will read and discuss section in the textbook, which covers Prohibition, Speakeasies, Bootleggers, and Organized Crime. (Refer to a sample of lecture notes above, Lesson Overview: (Lecture from the Book)).

11. Students will take notes on section covered in the Textbook utilizing the Simple Cause and Effect Study Guide to identify key events which occurred as a result of the 18th Amendment which went into effect in January of 1920.

12. Teacher will pass out the homework assignment for the following day, Whose Side Would You Have Been On, an opinion and stance paper.

13. Teacher and students will go over the assignment due the following day to ensure that if there are any questions, they are answered.

14. Students will be told that it does not matter what stance or opinion they take (Examples: For Prohibition or Against Prohibition, Police, Gangster, Average Everyday Joe (soldier during WWI), Women, etc.) Papers are to be a minimum of two pages typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman 12 point or they may also may written in cursive handwriting which is legible.

Page 73: Lesson 2: African-American Slave Music Internet Assignment ...

Inclusion Techniques For Students With Special Needs: (Inclusion Strategies were taken from Successful Inclusion Strategies for Secondary and Middle School Teachers: Keys to Help Struggling Learners Access the Curriculum, M.C.Gore, Corwin Press, 2004)

Simple Cause and Effect Study Guide will be provided for all students, but has specifically been added to the lesson plan to assist students with IEPs. This inclusion strategy allows students to do several things:

1. Sequencing is clarified for the students because the very nature of a flowchart is to sequence.

2. Memory is enhanced for students because of the level of processing. 3. Organization for students is developed by the practice they will get by

sequencing the events which are discussed. 4. Reasoning is developed in students because they are learning to look for

causes and effects.

Assessment: Students will be assessed on their participation during class while discussing the

primary source picture they analyzed during the first ten minutes of class. Students will also be assessed based on their opinion and stance paper they turn in the following day. (The assessment for this paper will be the Rubric which was provided to each student the previous day prior to the assignment being completed.)

Whose Side Would You Have Been On?

Homework Assignment:

Sit down and review the various Simple Cause and Effect Study Guides that we filled in today in class. Which side do you believe that you would have been on: the religious people who were for prohibition, the bootleggers who did not agree with the law and began to break it, the organized crime groups (gangs) which saw the law prohibiting alcohol as a new source of income, or an average everyday Joe or Sue who just didn’t want to have to sacrifice anything more especially after World War I?

• Whose Side Would You Have Been On? Students are to write an Opinion and Stance Paper on what side they believe they would have been a part of during the 1920’s when the 18th Amendment went into effect, launching the era known as Prohibition (when the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages were legally prohibited).

• Students should consult their Simple Cause and Effect Study Guides which the

class filled in during class. These study guides provide several varying view points on Prohibition which could assist the student in determining what opinion or stance they would like to take on the matter.

• Students should be aware that it does not matter what stance or opinion they

take in regards to Prohibition (i.e. For Prohibition or Against Prohibition, Police, Gangster, Average Everyday Joe (soldier during WWI), Women, etc.).

• Student’s paper should be at a minimum of two pages typed or they may also be

written in cursive handwriting which is legible. Student’s paper should include at least three reasons why they believe that they would side with the particular group which they did.

As you saw today in the classroom, the debate of creation versus evolution is still ‘very real’ and quite the ‘hot’ topic. There are many differing views on how creation and evolution should be taught in the school systems. Some people believe that the creation theory should be taught as a theory of the origin of life in conjunction with evolution. Others suggest that science and religion are not compatible at all and beliefs range from not teaching evolution on one side to not teaching creation on the other. Some have suggested that science and religion are not necessarily incompatible. They believe that the theory of the origin of life can accommodate both the scientific theory of evolution and religious beliefs as well. As recently as 1999, the Kansas State School Board voted to eliminate the teaching of evolution from their curriculum. Creation versus evolution and the decision on what should be taught on each continues to be a topic of great debate, one which shows no signs of stepping out of the ‘Boxing Ring’ any time soon.
