  3. The Haymarket Bombing was a turning point in the progress of the Knights of Labor because the organization was associated with violence.

    • jdelgaudio says:

      You have an accurate content, but you seem confused about what your topic is. It isn’t the Haymarket episode and it isn’t a multiculturalism theme. It is about “The status of labor in the late 19th century, a private enterprise theme.

  4. jdelgaudio says:

    This topic (Topic # 12: Patriarchy and Gender Roles in Late 19th century America) relates to your content about Charlotte Perkins Gilman. So the sentence should read, “Patriarchy and Gender Roles in Late 19th century America received a powerful challenge from Charlotte Perkins Gilman and other critics who were no longer content to remain dependent upon men.”

    Vocabulary word for Chapter 19 topic sentence “Election of 1912”.

    The Election of 1920 showed all three governmental parties supporting reform.

    • jdelgaudio says:

      As written, your sentence is inaccurate because of the confusion about the date of the election. The election of 1912 was a “reform” election, but the election of 1920 was not. Clarify the proper date of the sentence. There is another problem, however, with the topic itself. The election of 1912 is not a topic anywhere on the topic list. So the question is, why did you begin a sentence with a vocabulary term that is not on the topic list?

    Political parties who shaped the government included conservatives, radicals and progressives also known as the liberals.

    I am not sure where I was to post my topic sentence for chapter 19.

  8. jdelgaudio says:

    Part of the assignment calls for you to figure out which topic you want to write about. Your posting suggests you have some confusion about what your theme is for this content material. Since this content is about political parties shaping progressive reform, this sentence should have been posted to the role of government blog.

    Topic 49

    As the growing attitude of the decline of influence by the white man began to increase, the persistence of racial conflict continued as white men felt threatened by minorities in the workforce.

    • jdelgaudio says:

      Your content isn’t well aligned with your topic because the significant racial tensions did not just revolve around the workplace, although some did. Broaden the sources of racial tension to include the other venues.

      If only it were so. Good try, but your sentence isn’t accurate as written. The WCTU challenged, but did not transform gender roles or patriarchy.

      This is a very good effort, but the content could be extended to consider the success or failure of the organization in constructing a diverse but organized labor organization.
