HIS 200 Project 1 Guidelines and Rubric Overview History is for human self-knowledge . . . the only clue to what man can do is what man has done. The value of history, then, is that it teaches us what man has done and thus what man is. —R. G. Collingwood Historical awareness informs various aspects of our lives. We live in a time of rapid change, and we often think more about the future than the past. However, studying history can help us better understand our own lives in the context of the places we live and society in general. In America, specifically, the government is informed by its citizens. If the ideals of society shift, that shift will eventually move throughout the different levels of government, effecting widespread change. For the projects in this course, you will select a historical event that has impacted American society in some way. You may select an event that was discussed in the course, or you may select your own event, with instructor approval. You may consider using the event you chose to work on in your Perspectives in History class, if that event is something you wish to investigate further through this assessment. In Project 1, you will develop a plan for an essay on this historical event. The plan will include a brief description of the selected historical event and the resources you will use in your research. In addition, you will identify an audience for your essay and decide how to communicate your information to this audience. In Project 2, you will write an essay analyzing the historical event you selected, examining its impact on society as well as its impact on you personally. Project 1 addresses the following course outcomes:    Select appropriate and relevant primary and secondary sources in investigating foundational historic events Communicate effectively to specific audiences in examining fundamental aspects of human history Apply key approaches to studying history in addressing critical questions related to historical narratives and perspectives Prompt Your writing plan should answer the following prompt: Select a historical event that has impacted American society.

Americans despised the Irish during the 19th century’s refugee crisis but those Irish exiles endured such bigotry and stereotypes to become part of America. In examining how Americans treated the Irish immigrants, I will recreate the push and pull factors of the Irish immigration and the immigrants’ expectations versus the realities of their life in the refuge land. Specifically, I will try to answer the following research question: How did the Americans despise the Irish during the 19th century’s refuge crisis?, and how did those Irish exiles endure these bigotry and stereotypes to become part of America? How and when did the Irish immigrants come to America? What was the process of getting admitted into the United States? What were the living conditions in the urban areas where the Irish immigrants settled? What was life like for these Irish immigrants in America? Which kind of jobs available for Irish immigrants? How were the immigrants from Ireland discriminated by Native Americans and what were its effects on them? How did the Irish immigrants fit in into the new land? The search terms that I have so far used in my research include: Irish immigration; Irish immigrants; Irish Immigrant experiences; Irish in America; Irish Americans; the 19th Century’s Refugee Crisis. My analysis needs to take into account how the living conditions and experiences of the Irish have influenced their acceptance in the US and the patterns they established that the newcomers to the US continue to follow today. One valuable secondary source is “Blumenthal, Shirley and Ozer, Jerome S. Coming to America—Immigrants from the British Isles. New York: Delacourte Press, 1980.” This book describes the reasons the Irish immigrants left their homeland Ireland and came to America. The book contains photographs as well as drawings of the Irish people in America. It also includes information about the anti-Irish feelings as well as discrimination in housing and employment. Another very valuable secondary source is “Miller, Kerby A. Emigrants and Exiles. New York: Oxford University Press, 1985.” This book explains about the reasons for the Irish immigration. It also illustrates the impacts that immigration had upon the United States and Ireland. The book has many letters, diaries and journals written by immigrants. Sources One of the primary sources that I will use for my Irish immigrant experience is the Curtis Family letters: in Irish immigrant letters home; 1845-1851 compiled by Historical society of Pennsylvania (http://hsp.org/education/unit-plans/irish-immigration/irish-immigrant-lettershome). This letters provide reasons for leaving Ireland, the impact of the immigration on families, the hardships in Ireland plus the challenges they faced in America. Another primary source is the documentary of The Irish-American Experience PART I to V by PBS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpbz1XIa7kk). This documentary video is available in YouTube from part 1 to 5. The documentary explains why the Irish eventually came to the US and how hard, unforgiving, merciless and untrusting America proved to be. One of the secondary sources I will use is Kerby Miller’s (1988), “Emigrants and Exiles: Ireland and the Irish Exodus to North America” published by Oxford University Press. This book provides a full account of the diverse waves of the Irish immigration to North America. It draws from vast original behaviors and thoughts of the immigrants as revealed in their personal diaries, letters, memoirs, journals, songs, folklore and poems. Another secondary source is Irish “Immigrants in the Land of Canaan: Letters and Memoirs from Colonial and Revolutionary America, 1675-1815” by Kerby Miller (2003), published by Oxford University Press. This book provides a sensitive analysis of the memoirs, letters plus other writing of the Irish immigrants to describe the vitality and variety of those immigrants. Thesis Statement My research will try to support the following thesis: Even though the poor Irish had been starved in their motherland and hoped to have better lives by escaping to the US, America proved to be hard, merciless, unforgiving and untrusting for them. This statement could change depending on subsequent research.

Topic and Research Question
I have chosen to work with the experiences of the Irish immigrants who sought refuge in
America from Irish’s great hunger of the 1840’s, were ostracized for being Catholics,
newcomers, unskilled, and labeled angry, alcoholics and stupid servant race for my historical
event analysis. Americans despised the Irish during the 19th century’s refugee crisis but those

factors of the Irish immigration and the immigrants’ expectations versus the realities of their life
in the refuge land.
How and when did the Irish immigrants come to America? What was the process of getting
admitted into the United States? What were the living conditions in the urban areas where the
Irish immigrants settled? What was life like for these Irish immigrants in America? Which kind
of jobs available for Irish immigrants? How were the immigrants from Ireland discriminated by
Native Americans and w...
