Unit 2: Progressives and Moderns (and some Traditionalists)

 2. THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY

FOR THE QUIZ:  Read  Outline; Johnson, part 5 (pp. 614-622) and part 6;  Zinn, chapters 13 and 14.  Read  Outline first, then Zinn 13 as he deals with Progressive era.  Johnson concentrates more on Wilson and looks at the enhanced role of the government. You will find interesting discussions of the Federal Reserve System and Yale’s Skull and Bones Club, but the quiz will not focus on those sections.
