Teacher Guide This DBQ should be implemented in the classroom as a culminating activity to the study of the Industrial Revolution. The DBQ, itself, can be taught over a period of several days while ensuring students know necessary skills to complete a DBQ such as but not limited to analyzing, inferencing, close reading, developing arguments based on evidence, and organizing. The students will be able to use their knowledge of Reconstruction and the various points of the Industrial Revolution within the 5th grade standards to demonstrate their understanding. The following is from the 2011 SC Support Documents, 3rd grade and 5th grade:

The economy of South Carolina following the war was slow to improve. The plantation system collapsed due to the loss of slave labor. However, fertile soil and a favorable climate allowed for cotton to remain the dominant crop. The agricultural economy of pre-war South Carolina was also able to survive because of the development of the system of sharecropping. Cash was not readily available to pay wages to farm workers so the sharecropping system was developed to make use of the available, newly freed African American labor force. The landowner provided acreage, seed, and equipment such as hoes and plows. The freedman provided the labor in exchange for a portion, or share, of the crop that was produced. This mutually beneficial arrangement allowed the freedman some control over his labor and provided manpower for the landowner. As time went on, however, the system mired the sharecropper, whether white or African American, in poverty and indebtedness. Although the infrastructure was not immediately repaired, commerce did continue. By the end of the century, entrepreneurs began to build textile mills in the state. The availability of natural resources, such as swift flowing rivers, impacted the state’s recovery. Textile mills used water power to run the machines that turned cotton into cloth.

In previous 5th grade lessons, students learned how the Industrial Revolution was furthered by inventions and technology. The purpose of this DBQ is to point out to students that the effects of the Industrial Revolution were not the same throughout the United States. As an assessment, Students will be asked to pretend they are a young southerner during this time period. They must decide whether or not to leave the South to pursue their futures. Students will create a piece of work that demonstrates their understanding of the Historical Question using evidence from the provided documents to communicate their reasoning. This communication should include both evidence from the provided sources and previous knowledge of the time period. 5th grade students require scaffolding and repetition. Source A will be used as a hook for the entire DBQ. It should be completed whole group and the teacher should model the needed Historical Thinking Skills as well as expectations for future sources. Examples of Lesson implementation:

● In small groups, provide photographs of the time period. These may include, but are not limited to factories, natural resources, wages, and working conditions on men, women, and children laborers. Ask students to chart or group what they think the photographs depict. Have groups share their insights with the class as all groups should provide different information,

● In pairs, ask students to examine documents and group based on similarities ● As a whole group, create a graphic organizer of the effects/examples of Industrialization

in different areas of the country at the beginning of the twentieth century. Accommodation/Modification possibilities:

● Arrange peer tutor/partnerships during/after the lesson ● Use Google Translate for ESL student ● Arrange multiple ways to accommodate assessments ● Extend time allowance ● For any other accommodations or modifications needed per student, review IEP, Gifted

Plans, 504 Plans, or ESL Plans as currently written Final Project Activity Examples: As an assessment, Students will pretend they are a young southerner of the time period. They must decide whether or not to leave the South to pursue their futures. Students will be asked to analyze the evidence regarding the Industrial Revolution and communicate the continuity and change of the South as opposed to other areas during this same period.

● Students could simulate a letter to their friends/family ● Students could put together a photo essay of pictures interpreting the effects of the

Industrial Revolution on the South. ● Students could create a play/skit based on the impacts of Industrialization in different

areas of the United States.

Introductory.

The wonderful growth of the manufacturing industries of this country, and the large increase in the export of manufactured products in competition with manufacturers of other parts of the world, must be credited to the great care given to the details of the processes of manufacturing, by which the cost of production is reduced to a minimum. We are able to compete with other countries in spite of the fact that we pay higher wages than any other manufacturers on the globe. Cotton manufacturing is keeping step with other industries in enlarging the export trade of our country in competition with England and other countries, and we should make every effort to minimize the cost of producing cotton goods by using the most advanced and economic methods in our cotton mills. Many of our cotton manufacturers have shown a desire to adopt every available and economical method tending to reduce the cost of production, and it has been the special work of this firm to do all possible toward the improvement of the modern cotton mill, and we present this book with the hope that it may, to some extent at least, induce manufacturers to pay increased attention to economics in the construction and operation of a cotton mill.

Of the 20,000,000 spindles now running in the United States, approximately 15,250,000 or 76 per cent., are in the North and West, an increase of 19 per cent, since 1890; 4,730,000 are in the South, or 24 per cent., an increase of 203 per cent. Since 1890. The English mills consume 36 pounds per spindle. The Northern mills consume 73 pounds per spindle, including Sea Island cotton used and the Southern mills 163 pounds per spindle. The value of the product of the United States in 1900 was $332,806,156, and the number of wage earners 297,292. New England mills are now turning their attention to the manufacture of the fine grades of cotton goods such as we have been and are still importing in large quantities. The Southern mills manufacture by far the greatest part of the heavy export goods and will continue to do so. Many mills, however, are turning out cotton cloth and yarn of the grade that was considered as fine goods in the North ten years ago. England gained her great supremacy in cotton manufacture by the genius of their machinery inventors; and now that the American inventor is producing cotton machinery as good, and in many cases far better than the English manufacturer turns out, who can assert that the United States will not in the next quarter of a century surprise the whole world, not only in the number of spindles in operation, but also in the fineness of the cotton goods she produces?

1. What ideas or facts provide the reader evidence of the success of the South’s manufacturing mills? Highlight these facts within the text.

2. Using evidence from the passage, create a statement that demonstrates the South’s success during the Industrial Revolution.

The New South Could the American South be remade as an industrial economy like the North? Overview

● Proponents of the New South envisioned a post-Reconstruction southern economy modeled on the North’s embrace of the Industrial Revolution.

● Henry W. Grady, a newspaper editor in Atlanta, Georgia, coined the phrase the "New South” in 1874. He urged the South to abandon its longstanding agrarian economy for a modern economy grounded in factories, mines, and mills.

● But Grady’s vision was not to be. By 1900, per-capita income in the South was forty percent less than the national average, and rural poverty persisted across much of the South well into the twentieth century.

Rural agrarian poverty

After the Civil War, sharecropping and tenant farming took the place of slavery and the plantation system in the South.

Sharecropping and tenant farming were systems in which white landlords (often former plantation slave owners) entered into contracts with impoverished farm laborers to work their lands. Those who worked the fields shared a portion of the crop yield with the landlord as payment for renting the land. Under the sharecropping system, the landlord typically supplied the capital to buy the seed and equipment needed to sow, cultivate, and harvest a crop, while the sharecropper supplied the labor. In other tenancy farming arrangements the laborer, not the landowner, took responsibility for purchase of seed and equipment.

Yet, because prices on cotton and other crops remained low, sharecroppers and tenant farmers often fell into a cycle of indebtedness called debt peonage: farmers found that the money they made selling their crops at the end of the growing season was not enough to pay back the loans they had taken out for seed, tools, farm equipment, and living expenses, leaving them owing more after a year of labor than they had when they started.

[How is that possible?]

This system left both black and white tenant farmers living in dire poverty. In addition, since no one had any money to spend, the southern economy stagnated.

An economic vision for a new South

Enter Henry W. Grady, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, a newspaper in Georgia’s capital city. In a series of impassioned public speeches and articles, Grady envisioned a southern economy enriched with broadly expanded manufacturing facilities and commerce. Grady and like-minded southerners referred to this regional economic remake as the “New South.”

Following the Civil War, the North experienced a period of rapid industrialization and technological advancement known as the Second Industrial Revolution. But the dynamic and expansive economic growth that came to the North in consequence of the Second Industrial Revolution largely bypassed the South. Proponents of the New South wanted the nation’s southern states to remake themselves along similar lines.

Successes and failures of the New South

There were some New South successes. Birmingham, Alabama prospered from iron and steel manufacturing, and mining and furniture production benefited other parts of the South. Likewise, James Duke made use of newly-invented cigarette rolling machines to feed the growing market for tobacco and founded the American Tobacco Company in North Carolina in 1890.

The most notable New South initiative was the introduction of textile mills in the South. Beginning in the early 1880s, northern capitalists invested in building textile mills in the southern Appalachian foothills of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, drawn to the region by the fact that they could pay southern mill workers at half the rate of workers in northern mills. In consequence of the low wages the mills gave only a modest boost to the southern economies in which they were built.

Although new industries did emerge in this era, the benefits of the New South did not accrue to African Americans or poor whites. Although Grady dreamed of a new South of increasing economic prosperity, his vision did not extend to civil rights for African Americans. "I declare,” said Grady in an 1888 address, “that . . . the white race must dominate forever in the South.” In

Page 20: society, impact the South as opposed to other areas in the

How did the United States Industrial Revolution, changing from an agricultural to an industrial based society, impact the South as opposed to other areas in the nation? Developed July 2017

the New South, landlords and factory owners prospered, but sharecropping and low-wage factory work kept many across the region from escaping dire poverty.

What do you think?

What kept the southern economy from prospering in the post-Civil War era?

What do you think your life would have been like if you had been a sharecropper or a textile mill worker in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century South?

Why do you think Henry W. Grady’s vision of the New South did not include equality for African Americans?

Scaffolding the Historical Thinking Skill

Page 21: society, impact the South as opposed to other areas in the

Teaching History effectively requires more than dates, events, and facts. Deep thinking and analyzing events/periods in history from different perspectives must be incorporated to provide students with a balanced knowledge. Historical Thinking Skills enable students to be able to observe the sources, record their findings(evidence), and then deduce a conclusion. Demonstrating to students how this event/period of time influences other things within the course of history (Causation) and grasping that events in history coincide in different locations at the same time and also over time (Continuity and Change over time) are important thinking skills used by historians. The Historical Thinking Skill of this DBQ is Continuity and Change over time and how it pertains to the understanding of the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the South. Students must understand how the positives of inventions and technology shaped the Industrial Revolution throughout the United States and how the negatives of low wages, poor working conditions, and basic human rights also came into play. Demonstrating the thinking skills, teachers should model analyzing these documents throughout the DBQ using gradual release of how to answer the guiding questions which will be recorded and could be used to support their evidence in a final product.

An exciting way to introduce history to students is create mystery or more than one point of view and allowing them to share their thoughts. Motivating students allows them to develop vested interest in their own learning. An important step in teaching elementary students to think like a historian is to be sure they are able to delineate between fiction and evidence-based historical narratives. One way to do this is by taking the evidence and categorizing it with the 5 W’s. Then they may ask the question, “How are these things related?” This teaches them how to synthesize the information. Teaching the Historical Thinking Skills takes much modeling and practice to ensure students have command of the skill. In this particular DBQ, the teacher might use Sources A-E as a model for how the class will work through any DBQ assignment. When analyzing a document, article, advertisement, political cartoon, graph/charts, or maps (should have a variety of text, audio and visual sources if applicable), gradual release should be used to demonstrate how to analyze the documents correctly. Source F could possibly be used as further instruction, but also a practice for students on their own or with less guidance depending on ability and required modifications/accommodations. Teaching History should include using primary and secondary sources, and taking the time to examine the plethora of historical resources that are available as to ensure unbiased and differing points of view.
