Pick ONE of the following three questions and give a short answer in the form of a 4 or 5 paragraph essay:

Q1. In what ways was the Progressive era a period that saw the expansion and restriction of political and economic freedoms?

Q2. Explain the positions of the black intellectuals at the end of the 19th century, specifically Booker T. Washington and W.E.B Dubois. Explain in what way were their approaches to race relations different and why.

Q3. Was Reconstruction a success or a failure? Or was it something in between? In your response, consider land policy, key legislation during Presidential and Radical Reconstruction, southern politics, racial and political violence, and northern “fatigue” with Reconstruction. Be sure to make clear what you mean by success and failure.
