By investigating the compelling question about whether or not Kentucky is a southern state, students will need to consider how the study of Kentucky provides a unique lens for thinking about the “what” and “where” of the south. In investigating the people and cultural characteristics of Kentucky and states more ‘solidly’ recognized as southern, students develop techniques to become more geo-literate, and begin to be able to evaluate the extent to which Kentucky is southern. Structure of the Inquiry In addressing the compelling question, “Is Kentucky a southern state?” students will work through a series of supporting questions, performance tasks, and sources in order to construct an argument with evidence and counter evidence from a variety of sources. Staging the Compelling Question The inquiry opens with students investigating the where and what of the south. Using a blank political map of the United States teachers will have students outline the states that they believe are southern. Students should then be prompted to think about what criteria they use in order to delineate whether a state should be considered southern. Next, the teacher would want to prompt a discussion on which states were most and least likely to be considered southern. After the discussion, the teacher may want to have students examine the article “Which States are in the South?” from FiveThirtyEight. This article examines how people who identified as “southern” view other states (only half viewed Kentucky as southern). From this the teacher could name the compelling question as well as have students name ‘solidly’ southern states with which to compare Kentucky. These states identified here should be used as the baseline for comparison during the whole inquiry. Supporting Question 1 The supporting question, “How do Kentucky demographics compare to southern states?” helps students establish a foundational understanding of Kentucky’s relationship to the south through the lens of population demographics. The formative performance task calls on students to create a Venn diagram that explains how THIS WORK IS LICENSED UNDER A CREATIVE COMMONS ATTRIBUTION- NONCOMMERCIAL- SHAREALIKE 4.0 INTERNATIONAL LICENSE. 3 KENTUCKY C3 TEACHERS HUB the population demographics of Kentucky compare to southern states. Next, using the Venn diagram students will create a two-sentence claim statement that answers the supporting question. Teachers will want students to keep track of the Venn diagram, as they will be adding to it throughout the inquiry. The demographic data comes from the United States Census Bureau and is accessible to students through the Quick Beta Facts site on Census.gov. Supporting Question 2 By answering the supporting question, “How does Kentucky’s economy compare to southern states?” students build on their understanding of Kentucky by moving into the study of economic characteristics of the state by analyzing the American Community Survey database. The data from this survey is conducted by the United States Census Bureau and examines economic demographics for states and communities. The formative task for this supporting question asks students to add to their Venn diagram from Supporting Question 1, this time comparing the economy of Kentucky to southern states. Students will then create a two- sentence claim statement that answers the supporting question. Supporting Question 3 By answering the supporting question, “How do Kentucky politics compare to southern states?” students will work to understand the dominant political ideology that has contributed to Kentucky’s identity. Building on their knowledge of population demographics as well as economic characteristics, this formative task calls on students to examine documents that describe the dominant political ideologies of Kentucky and southern states at state and national scales, and thus represents a rise in complexity as students are examining evidence that is more abstract then the nominal census data used in the first two supporting questions. Students will then add to their Venn diagram from the first two supporting questions, this time comparing the politics of Kentucky to southern states. From this information, student will create a two-sentence claim that answers the supporting question. Featured Source A is an article and video from National Public Radio titled “This November, Will Kentucky Stop Voting Like It’s 1865?” and examines what the dominant political ideology is in Kentucky, as well as how it has and continues to change. The second source is from Tufts Magazine and is titled “Up in Arms.” The article examines how dominant political ideologies of different regions were formed through history and geography. The last source is a set presidential election maps. With the source students will be able to compare voting patterns of Kentucky and Southern states at the national level. Supporting Question 4 Having examined the demographic, economic, and political characteristics of Kentucky and the south in previous tasks, students will be asked to answer the supporting question “How does Kentucky culture compare to southern states?” The formative task requires students to collect and use a multitude of sources THIS WORK IS LICENSED UNDER A CREATIVE COMMONS ATTRIBUTION- NONCOMMERCIAL- SHAREALIKE 4.0 INTERNATIONAL LICENSE. 4 KENTUCKY C3 TEACHERS HUB to describe if Kentucky’s culture is southern. Students will add the information to their Venn diagram as they have done in the previous supporting questions. Next, students will create a two-sentence claim that answers

  • From James A
    Revision, Fall 2004 (20 November 2004) Prepared for James A. Thurber, ed. Rivals for Power, 3rd ed., (Lanham, MD: Rowman and Littlefield, 2005). Partisan Polarization, Politics, and the Presidency: Structural Sources of Conflict James P. Pfiffner George Mason University In his campaign for the presidency in the 2000 election, George W. Bush promised that he would work closely with Congress and the Democrats and tone down the corrosive partisan rhetoric that had come to characterize Washington in the last years of the 20th century. After a very close election in which Bush narrowly won the presidency while trailing the Democratic candidate by half a million votes, many expected him to take a conciliatory approach to Democrats in Congress and seek out moderates of both parties to forge an agenda in the middle of the political spectrum. But that is not what happened. Arguing that political capital had to be spent rather than conserved, Bush put forward a conservative policy agenda and won some impressive victories.i Just when his momentum began to lag in late summer of 2001, terrorists struck New York and Washington. The atrocities of 9-11 transformed the political landscape and presented Bush with a country unified under his leadership and broad international support for the United States. Yet three years later as he ran for reelection, the nation was deeply divided over his presidency and the war in Iraq. Although much of the political division between the parties in Congress and among partisans in the electorate could be attributed to disagreement over President Bush’s policies, the roots of the divisive partisan politics of the Bush Presidency lay in political developments in the preceding four decades.

Available at: https://scholarship.shu.edu/pa/vol17/iss1/1 The Civil Rights Realignment: How Race Dominates Presidential Elections Timothy J. Hoffman The evolution of the black vote in presidential elections is one of the most significant changes to the American electorate over the last century. During this period, the black vote shifted to become one of the most solid pillars of the Democratic coalition, culminating with the historic election of Barack Obama as the first African American president in 2008. The race gap is arguably the most influential gap in explaining the political behavior of Americans and affects other behavioral gaps in American politics. This paper will take an historical perspective of presidential elections and political party dynamics since the Civil War and investigate how black voters defected from the Republican Party due to the actions of Democratic presidents who sought to enfranchise African Americans to build a stronger electoral coalition. We will analyze how the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1932 began the evolution of the black vote, as the New Deal promised new opportunities for minorities and signaled a shift towards a more involved government that served the needs of the people.
