    The Birth of Modern America 1865–1900 hy It Matters Following the turmoil of the Civil War and W Reconstruction, the United States began its transformation from a rural nation to an indus- trial, urban nation. This change spurred the growth of cities, the development of big busi- ness, and the rise of new technologies such as the railroads. New social pressures, including increased immigration, unionization move- ments, and the Populist movement in politics, characterized the period as well. Understanding this turbulent time will help you understand similar pressures that exist in your life today. The following resources offer more information about this period in American history.

The lives of Western miners, farmers, and ranchers were often filled with great hardships, but the wave of American settlers continued. Railroads hastened this migration.

  • American Heritage Day
    American Heritage Day DEAR PARENTS, Each year the elementary school students at Valley Christian Academy prepare a speech depicting the life of a great American man or woman. The speech is written in the first person and should include the character’s birth, death, and major accomplishments. Parents should feel free to help their children write these speeches. A good way to write the speech is to find a child’s biography and follow the story line as you construct the speech. This will make for a more interesting speech rather than a mere recitation of facts from the encyclopedia. Students will be awarded extra points for including spiritual application in their speeches. Please adhere to the following time limits. K-1 Speeches must be 1-3 minutes in length with a minimum of 175 words. 2-3 Speeches must be 2-5 minutes in length with a minimum of 350 words. 4-6 Speeches must be 3-10 minutes in length with a minimum of 525 words. Students will give their speeches in class. They should be sure to have their speeches memorized well enough so they do not need any prompts. Please be aware that students who need frequent prompting will receive a low grade. Also, any student with a speech that doesn’t meet the minimum requirement will receive a “D” or “F.” Students must portray a different character each year. One of the goals of this assignment is to help our children learn about different men and women who have made America great. Help your child choose characters from whom they can learn much.

  • Handout - Excerpt from Life and Adventures of Nat Love Nat Love Was Born Into Slavery in 1854 in Davidson, Tennessee
    Handout - Excerpt from Life and Adventures of Nat Love Nat Love was born into slavery in 1854 in Davidson, Tennessee. After the Civil War, he was released from slavery and worked on a family farm before moving to Dodge City, Kansas, to become a cowboy. Love’s time driving cattle made him into a folk legend, and he became known as “Deadwood Dick.” The following excerpt comes from Chapter 6 of Love’s memoir, entitled Life and Adventures of Nat Love. We were compelled to finish our journey home almost on foot, as there were only six horses left to fourteen of us. Our friend and companion who was shot in the fight, we buried on the plains, wrapped in his blanket with stones piled over his grave. After this engagement with the Indians I seemed to lose all sense as to what fear was and thereafter during my whole life on the range I never experienced the least feeling of fear, no matter how trying the ordeal or how desperate my position. The home ranch was located on the Palo Duro river in the western part of the Pan Handle, Texas, which we reached in the latter part of May, it taking us considerably over a month Nat Love to make the return journey home from Dodge City. I remained in the employ of the Duval outfit for three years, making regular trips to Dodge City every season and to many other places in the surrounding states with herds of horses and cattle for market and to be delivered to other ranch owners all over Texas, Wyoming and the Dakotas.

  • Masculinity, Aging, Illness, and Death in Tombstone and Logan
    ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER 791-51 DOI:10.5937/ ZRFFP48-18623 DANIJELA L J. P ETKOVIĆ1 UNIVERSITY OF N IŠ FACULTY OF P HILOSOPHY ENGLISH D EPARTMENT (IM)POSSIBLE MARTYRDOM: MASCULINITY, AGING, ILLNESS, AND DEATH IN TOMBSTONE AND LOGAN ABSTRACT. The title of this paper alludes to Hannah Arendt’s famous claim that in Nazi concentration camps martyrdom was made impossible, for the first time in Western history, by the utter anonymity and meaninglessness of inmates’ deaths (Arendt, 2000, p. 133): the paper, in contrast, examines two contem- porary films which, while intersecting normative/heroic masculinity with debilitating illness and death, allow for the possibility of martyrdom. Tomb- stone and Logan , directed by George P. Cosmatos and James Mangold respectively, depict the last days of such pop culture icons of masculinity as John Henry “Doc” Holliday and James Howlett, aka Logan/Wolverine. The films’ thematic focus on the (protracted) ending of life, which is evident not only in the storylines and dialogues but also in the numerous close-ups of emaciated, bleeding, scarred and prostrate male bodies, afflicted with tuberculosis and cancer-like adamantium poisoning, invites, first, a discus- sion of the relationship between the cinematic representations of normative and disabled masculinities. Specifically, since normative masculinity, as opposed to femininity, is synonymous with physical and mental strength, power and domination – including the control of one’s own body – the focus of this discussion is if, and how, the films depict Doc Holliday and Wolverine as feminized by their failing/disobedient bodies, thus contribut- ing to the cultural construction of gender. Secondly, the paper discusses the halo of martyrdom with which the films’ dying men are rewarded as emo- tionally deeply satisfying to the viewer: in Logan and Tombstone , death is not averted but hastened for the sake of friendship, family, and the protec- tion of the vulnerable and the marginalized.

  • Nat Love 1854 – 1921 Story: R. Alan Brooks Art: Cody Kuehl Discussion Questions: 3-5Th Grade
    Nat Love 1854 – 1921 Story: R. Alan Brooks Art: Cody Kuehl Discussion Questions: 3-5th Grade • When you think of a cowboy, what do you see in your mind? What do they wear? What do they do with their day? • What do you want to be when you grow up? What would you do if someone told you that you are not allowed to do that? • Why did the members of the Pima Tribe let Nat go when they caught him? What does it mean to have respect for another person? • How does the comic make Nat’s experiences come to life? Which pictures show him engaging in an exciting activity? MS • Nat Love was born a slave and, as such, was not allowed to learn to read. Why do you suppose that law existed? • In the second panel of the first page, Nat says “a lot of folks dispute the facts of my life, saying it’s all too incredible to be true.” Are there any parts of this story that you find hard to believe? • Nat Love took the name “Deadwood Dick.” What would your cowboy name be if you could choose it for yourself? • In both the fifth panel of the first page and the second panel of the second page, Nat is shown firing his gun from horseback. How does including two images that are so similar to one another enhance your understanding of the character? HS • The artwork of this comic contains a lot of thick lines and an abundance of deep shading. How does this style inform the tone of the story being told here? • Why do you suppose that people today do not believe, as Nat points out in the comic, that there were any African American cowboys? • Not only was Nat literate, he wrote a book about his life.
