After you watched the videos assigned in the Viewing - Comprehension section for this lesson, post a thoughtful short essay that answers the following questions:

The films depict the rise of both Chicago and New York, from rural settlements to giant urban centers of capitalism—grand monuments to the Market Revolution described in your textbook. In particular, the films highlight both the innovations and inventors that drove the Market Revolution in these cities, and the high cost of the Market Revolution, especially by poor immigrants and black residents. What were the key inventions and innovations that led to Chicago’s and New York’s rapid growth? What consequences did the turn to industrialization and capitalism have, especially for Chicago’s and New York’s poor black and immigrant populations? Does the film’s discussion of the prejudices immigrants (especially Irish immigrants) faced in both Chicago and New York provide lessons that apply to our own time? If so, what are those lessons?

Please note: Your Film Response must demonstrate knowledge of the material presented in the film. Don't just provide a list of facts from the films. Instead, take notes as you watch the films, and write a thoughtful response that addresses each of the questions asked.

  • Your Response post should be 200-250 words long.
  • You must include informal parenthetical citations for all material directly referenced from the sources. Use this citation format: (author, publication year)
