Hey, I have a DBQ tommorow and I cannot seem to organize my thoughts for it.
The teacher gave us the question (but not the documents) so here it is:
"Analyze the effects that technology, government policy, and economics had on agricultural America (1865-1900)."
Heres the brainstorming I have done:
Intro: While at times they seemed they would improve conditions for farmers, they only ended up making conditions worse. Enviromental conditions.
Gov Policy: Granger Laws, Wabash Case, Interstate Commerce Act.
Economics: Depressions, Abusive prices (Railroads had short/long haul, and other technological advancements were purposely more expensive than farmers could afford), This especially hurt tennant farmers.
Technology: Technology focused on industrialism (started to shrink agriculture), However, RR and other technological advancements helped widen the farmers market.
I feel like I need more, but can't really find anything. Also, I feel like it will start to become messy. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to help this essay?
actually, devs711...your brainstorm shows that you have this DBQ in the bag...don't overstress yourself. i remember the DBQs for APUSH. I tried to do the same as you, but there's really nothing else you can do without the documents.
and there is an organization process that you'll have to have with the documents being for or against your argument and work from there...
sorry, it doesn't sound like i was much help, but Good Luck, I know you'll do great. -_^
