Mrs. Lucy E. Parsons, arrested for rioting during an unemployment protest at Hull House in Chicago, Illinois, Jan. 18. , 1915

America became an urban, industrial nation with a strong presence in international affairs in the period between 1880 and 1920. This course examines the economic, political, and social and technological origins of this transformation, and focuses in particular on the variety of political movements that attempted to address the consequences of these wrenching changes in American life.
