Jane Doe HIS 200: Applied History Southern New Hampshire University April 8, 2016 Topic and Research Question Topic: For my historical event analysis, I have chosen to focus on Congressman John F. Fitzgerald of Boston, the son of Irish immigrants, and his opposition to an 1897 immigration bill which would have barred illiterate foreigners from entering the United States. Research Question: How did John Fitzgerald's political ambitions, and the interests of the Democratic Party in Massachusetts, affect his position on the 1897 immigration reform bill? Search Terms and Sources Search terms that I have used in my research so far include: FITZGERALD, John F.; LODGE, Henry Cabot; Emigration and immigration law; Massachusetts politics; 1897 immigration bill; and LODGE, Henry Cabot and CLEVELAND, Grover AND Immigration. One secondary source is "Honey Fitz": Three Steps to the White House: The Colorful Life & Times of John F. ("Honey Fitz") Fitzgerald, by John Henry Cutler. Indianapolis, IN: BobbsMerrill, 1962. I found a review of this book in Shapiro Library, and located a copy online at http://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/honey-fitz/used/. Another secondary source is The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys: An American Saga, by Doris Kearns Goodwin. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1987. This book is in Shapiro Library. Jane Doe HIS 200: Applied History Southern New Hampshire University April 10, 2016 Preliminary Writing Plan For my historical event analysis, I have chosen to focus on Congressman John F. Fitzgerald of Boston, the son of Irish immigrants, and his opposition to an 1897 immigration bill which would have barred illiterate foreigners from entering the United States. According to contemporary observers, Fitzgerald's opposition helped convince President Cleveland to veto the bill in one of his final official acts as President. In examining Fitzgerald's opposition to the immigration reform bill, I will try to recreate the political calculations that drove Fitzgerald to champion the idea of open immigration. Specifically, I will try to answer the following research question: How did John Fitzgerald's political ambitions, and the interests of the Democratic Party in Massachusetts, affect his position on the 1897 immigration reform bill? Why was this issue so important to Fitzgerald, who would go on to become mayor of Boston and a major figure in Massachusetts politics? Was he simply trying to make a political name for himself? How much of a factor was Fitzgerald's personal distaste for Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Sr., the Republican sponsor of the immigration bill? Search terms that I have used in my research so far include: FITZGERALD, John F.; LODGE, Henry Cabot; Emigration and immigration law; Massachusetts politics; 1897 immigration bill; and LODGE, Henry Cabot and CLEVELAND, Grover AND Immigration. My analysis needs to take into account how this issue played out, both for Fitzgerald and for the nation, in the ensuing years. One valuable secondary source, then, is "Honey Fitz" Three Steps to the White House: the Colorful Life & Times of John F. ("Honey Fitz") Fitzgerald, by John Henry Cutler (Indianapolis, IN: Bobbs Merrill, 1962). This book, the only full-length biography of Fitzgerald, traces Fitzgerald's political career and contains several revealing anecdotes about Fitzgerald's contentious relationship with Senator Lodge. Another extremely valuable secondary source is The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys: An American Saga, by Doris Kearns Goodwin (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1987). This book, the definitive history of the Fitzgerald family, places Fitzgerald's career in broad historical context and relates his efforts to the development of the Irish-controlled Massachusetts Democratic Party. HIS 200 Writing Plan Progress Check 2 Guidelines and Rubric Overview: Throughout Modules One and Two, you have been guided through beginning your Project 1: Writing Plan assignment, which you will continue to work on in Modules Three and Four and formally submit for completion at the end of Module Four of the course. This progress check assignment provides you with an important opportunity to get valuable instructor feedback on the progress you are making and to ensure you are on the right track for your later submission. Prompt: Module Two: Approaches to History, continued, has explored how historians select search terms to locate secondary sources that help them find answers to their research question. Return to your submission for Progress Check 1 and expand upon your event’s historical significance, describe two secondary sources you could use to research your event (along with search terms you used to locate those sources), and support your research question with secondary and primary sources. Specifically, in this assignment, you will submit the following elements of your Project 1: Writing Plan for review by your instructor: In Module Two: Approaches to History, continued, learning block 2-3 (page 3), you completed the following element: I. Describe the historical event that you selected. Why is this event significant? II. Describe at least two secondary sources that you could use to research your historical event. Your sources must be relevant to your event and must be of an appropriate academic nature. In your description, consider questions such as: What are the similarities and differences in the content of your sources? What makes them appropriate and relevant for investigating your event? What was your thought process when you were searching for sources? How did you make choices? III. Based on your review of primary and secondary sources, develop a research question related to the historical event you selected. In other words, what would you like to know more about? Please note that the numbering included above directly aligns with the numbering of these elements as they are presented in the Project 1 Guidelines and Rubric. You will ultimately also need to describe primary sources that you could use to research your event as well as the audience and message for your historical analysis essay, but you do not need to do so in this submission.
