“The New Colossus” by Emma Lazurus

This poem articulates what the American Dream of opportunity and a better life is about. It is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty awaiting immigrants at Ellis Island in the “New” era of immigration.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she

With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Plessy vs Ferguson in 3 Minutes for APUSH/SUNY Students

The West by Ken Burns

DBQ essay DUE on January 2nd, Wednesday

Look on PAGE 315 of your AMSCO book.  There will you find a DBQ on the steps to the Civil War.  There are 7 documents and you are expected to use and label each of them in their usage like (Doc 1) this.  The essay should have a clear thesis statement in the introduction paragraph and should read like this:

Perhaps this type of thesis statement works the best: “Civil War was inevitable because of extremism on both sides, inept government from compromises that didn’t solve the issue to useless Presidents of the 1850’s, and mistakes made in the 1780’s in the Constitution.

REMEMBER- YOU MUST HAVE OUTSIDE INFORMATION!!! USE THE INFORMATION YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR JOURNAL ENTRIES!!!

I will be available to help with this Eagle Mod December 17th and 18th!
