In a well-considered long essay (4-5 full, robust paragraphs with a paragraph defined as at least 5 sentences), respond to ONE of the following prompts.  Provide as much detail as you remember from lectures, readings, and online materials in support of your answer.  Be sure to respond to the entire question, as each have multiple parts.  Please note which question you are responding to in your answer (simply putting #1, #2, etc. is fine)   1. Discuss World War II on the home front. What sacrifices do Americans have to make and how does the American government convince them this is a war worth supporting? What are the experiences of women and African Americans?   2. How did the Cold War shape American domestic life in the 1950s?  How did the fear of the atomic bomb become all-consuming for the general population and how did they combat it?  We discussed the “Great Fear” of the 1950s and 1960s, but fear of what?  Is it just of the atomic bomb or is there something else?   3. Describe the course of events that brought the U.S. into the Vietnam conflict and how John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon, specifically, deepened our involvement. What was the war’s objective for the United States and was that an attainable goal? In the end, why did we lose and what are the lessons we should remember about one of America’s longest wars?   4. Why were the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 necessary? What obstacles stood in African Americans’ way in the mid-1960s (both legal and illegal) that kept them from exercising basic rights like access to education, quality facilities, and the vote? How had they been denied these rights in the past? Describe the activism to get these laws on the table/passed and explain what each accomplished.   5. The 21st Century has brought with it a host of tensions over immigration, the economy, employment, trade policies, foreign policy (chiefly around the War on Terror), and issues related to social justice, among others. Going from the election of George W. Bush in 2000 through the 2020 election, analyze THREE of these major points of contention and explain the tensions between political parties (and their supporters) have come to a head.

In a well-considered long essay (4-5 full, robust paragraphs with a paragraph defined as at least 5 sentences), respond to ONE of the following prompts.  Provide as much detail as you remember from lectures, readings, and online materials in support of your answer.  Be sure to respond to the entire question, as each have multiple parts.  Please note which question you are responding to in your answer (simply putting #1, #2, etc. is fine)   1. Discuss the U.S. response to the developing crises in Europe from 1939 through 1941. Why do most Americans want to remain out of the war and what is their justification? What arguments do critics of America’s official isolationist/neutral policy make and are they convincing? What factors bring the U.S. closer and closer to war?   2. How did the U.S. government transition from World War II into the Cold War? This could be how soldiers are brought home as well as foundations for how the U.S. responded to the perceived threat of communism.   3. John F. Kennedy is a much-beloved president for many who helped advance Black civil rights and stood up to the communists. Discuss this legacy and whether he deserves that credit. Evaluate Kennedy’s perception of himself as a strong, masculine, “Cold warrior,” as well as devoted husband and father.   4. Describe the growing role that media played in the 1960s in terms of the fight for civil rights and the Vietnam War. How did media change and/or shape public opinion on these monumental events in American history and how might they have played out differently without the constant television coverage?   5. Briefly describe the many movements going on in the 1960s that made up that decade (feel free to bleed into the 1970s if you so choose). How did activism in the 1960s lead to polarization and the rise of the conservative revolution and the New Right? How do we see these differing positions on various issues culminate in the Reagan Coalition?
