Question

Question One:

What conclusions can be drawn about the early New Deal from the attached political cartoons?
List and explain at least four conclusions.

Question 2:
Use Theodore Roosevelt's "New Nationalism" speech and Woodrow Wilson's "What is progress" speech to compare and contrast their respective understanding of Progressivism.
In what ways were their views similar and in what ways were they different? Find and explain two examples for each.

Each answer must be no more than 200 words in length and the total length of what you submit must not exceed 400 words

. A good format is to answer in about 2-3 sentences where the first sentence answers the question, making a claim/argument. The second sentence brings in a specific example from the source material (i.e.a short quote or paraphrase). Then the third sentence explains /analyzes how that example validates your claim and expounds its significance historically.

Any quotations should be brief, and should only come from the document used in the assignment. You need to cite your source with a parenthetical citation by putting the title of the source and pdf page number at the end of the sentence in parentheses ("Bicycle Built for Two," 2). Do not quote the textbook or summarize lecture! That is not the point of the assignment. All work must be your own. Plagiarism will be dealt with sternly. Completion of this assignment requires no additional sources. You must not use Wikipedia or any other Internet source.
