Essay

1. It has been ironically stated that “the North won the Civil War, but the South won

Reconstruction.” Interpret this statement and assess its truth.

2. Some historians contend that “more than any other single factor, the railroad network

spurred the amazing industrialization of the post-Civil War years.”

Do you agree? Why or Why not?

3. The arrival of immigrants on American shores in the late nineteenth century involved

both “push” and “pull” factors. Describe the major motives that caused emigrants to

leave Europe and come to the United States during the late 1800s.

4. The presidents of the late nineteenth century have been referred to as merely “custodial”

–that is, nonassertive. Is this true? If so, why?
