Industrialization After the Civil War Thesis and Outline
Assignment 1.1: Industrialization After the Civil War Thesis
and Outline
Due Week 3 and worth 70 points
After the Civil War, the United States became a much more
industrialized society. Between 1865 and 1920, industrialization improved
American life in many ways. However, industrialization also created problems
for American society. Consider events that took place after the Civil War
and discuss ways that industrialization affected the U.S.
between 1865 and 1920.
Part 1:
Write a thesis statement that is one to two (1-2) sentences
long in which you:
State your thesis on how industrialization after the Civil War
influenced U.S. society, economy, and politics. Justify your response.
For the first part of this assignment you will create a
thesis statement. A thesis statement is usually a single sentence somewhere in
your first paragraph that presents your main idea to the reader. The body of
the essay organizes the material you gather and present in support of your main
idea. Keep in mind that a thesis is an interpretation of a
question or subject, not the subject itself. (Note: Please consult the Purdue
OWL Website with tips on how to construct a proper thesis; the website can be
found at: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/01/
Part 2:
For the next part of this assignment you will create an
outline of the main points you want to address in this paper. This outline will
serve as the basis for your Assignment 1.2 Final Draft. (Note: Please use the
Purdue Owl Website to assist you with this assignment; this website can be

Write a one to two (1-2) page outline in which you:
List three (3) major aspects of industrialization between
1865 and 1920. In your response,
consider society, the economy, and politics.
List five (5) specific groups that were affected by
industrialization. Provide two (2) examples for each group describing how the
group was affected. (Consider issues such as race, ethnicity, gender, child
labor, etc.)
List five (5) ways that industrialization affected the life
of the average working American during this period.
Use at least three (3) academic references besides or in
addition to the textbook. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as
academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow
APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
instructions.
