American Yawp / Feedback

Correct to “and a new, more-commercial”

Paragraph 1 seems to have an editing error, as the second sentence does not make sense.

It should possibly read as follows:

“That year, mired in the stagnant economy that followed the bursting of the railroads’ financial bubble in 1873, rail lines slashed workers wages even as they reaped enormous government subsidies and paid shareholders lucrative stock dividends.”

Honestly the sentence should possibly be broken down into multiple sentences, as it seems like a run-on sentence.

I strongly disagree. The title is cynical is can be used as a talking point in class what “Conquering the West” really meant, themes that the chapter certainly doesn’t valorize.

For example, I title one of my lectures “The Wild West” not because I wax poetic on duels at high noon, but because it provides a jumping off point to describe the mythology of the Wild West and why Americans engaged in myth-making.

MY TOES ARE FULL

is that a typo for level

last line: an America (not American) riven

The last sentence repeats the House of Burgese’s Slave codes and I find the last sentence redundant.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

“be” should be inserted between “a” and “fatal” in the following sentence: “Although much of the equipment still needed to make the transatlantic passage, the physical presence of the army proved to a fatal blow to German war plans.”

“White supremacist” – presentism

“white supremacist” wasn’t a title/term used during that time period, should be changed to “white superficial beliefs/assumptions” or something of the sort
