Three Stages of Assimilation Among Irish Immigrants to America
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper discussing just how 'American' the Irish are. Throngs-literally millions-of Irish immigrants poured into America in the mid-1800s and again toward the end of that century in response both to rumors of America as the land of opportunity at a time when their own country not only was in economic ruin but also could not support all of its people. There are those who maintain that the Irish were never fully assimilated into the American culture, but those making such claims often fail to take into account all applicable factors.

[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page critical literature review of "Out of Harmony" written by Lucy Hoyce Kamau. Discusses the author's effective illustration that the "official" history of Posey County Indiana presented by the New Harmony Museum provides only a distorted view of the communal Harmonists and Owenists who occupied the area for a brief period of time in the early 1800s. Stresses that the role of the common farmer and other occupants of the area is more adequately presented in the folk history of the area. No other sources listed.

US "Dirty Laundry" 1865-1900
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) "Dirty laundry" is a collection of those less than reputable things, which mother always told us not to air in public. Government "dirty laundry" is often much more difficult to hide, and usually seems to "smell" much more when it does appear. As a country, we must have needed to do a lot of "washing" at the end of the nineteenth century, as it certainly seems that we had more than our share of corruption and abuses of power from 1865 - 1900. We will look at some of that political distortion in this discussion. Some historic dates will be listed, just as orientation tools. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
