Homework:

To help you prepare for the test and especially to do well on #4, the mini-essay. I have a new blog assignment for you.

Respond to the prompt:

"Explain why unions had little success during the period 1871-1900 in improving the economic and social position of U.S. workers."

• While your blog post does not have to be a formal essay, what I should see is identifying the main points and providing historical evidence to back them up.

THIS ASSIGNMENT MUST BE POSTED TO YOUR BLOG BY TOMORROW A.M.!!
