HIUS 222 Survey of American History II Discussion Post- Liberty University Online Academy (LUOA)
Examine the primary sources in the McGraw-Hill textbook for Module 4. In the Primary Source Discussion Board Forum, your thread must address one of the following questions:
i. Using specific examples, explain which primary source is most interesting to you and why.
ii. Using specific examples, identify the purpose of the 1924 Immigration Act and explain why it was significant to American society.
iii. Using specific examples, identify at least two provisions from The Klansman's Manual and explain why they would have been appealing to many Americans in the 1920s.
As your participate in the Primary Source Discussion Board Forum, keep in mind Luke 1:1-4-"Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word have handed them down to us, it seems fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order...so that you might know the exact truth about the things you have been taught." In these verses, we can find guidance in how to approach the study of history. Note Luke's emphasis on sources ("eyewitnesses"), meticulous study ("having investigated everything carefully"), and pursuit of the truth ("so that you might know the exact truth"). As Christian scholars, we need to approach our subjects with integrity and base our conclusions on careful research and solid evidence.
The response must include a reference list. One-inch margins, double-space, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
