Throughout the 1800's, there was an drastic increase in immigration to North America. This, along with technological changes, new energy sources, and factory systems, led to a divide in labor, social class, and welfare. In this class, we will explore the different groups of people who were migrating to North America, the new industries and cultures that were forming, and how this impacted American society. This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course. This class is presented in an asynchronous format. If you are taking this class through the Class Subscriptions, there will be no communication between learner and myself. If you are taking this class through the Self-Paced format, you will have 1 year to complete the lessons. If you choose to submit homework or communicate (questions on the classroom page), I will respond within 24 hours (excluding Sundays).
