 * //The Pope's Last Call

//The Pope called the Devil up on the telephone one day, The girl at central listened to all they had to say. . . . The Devil said "Hello!" to the Pope, and Pope said "how are you"? I'm running here a hell on earth, so tell me what to do." "What can I do"? the Devil said, "My dear old Popish Pal, If there's a thing I can do to help you, I surely will." The Pope said "Now listen and I will try to tell, The way that I am running here on earth a modern hell. I've planned for this for many years, and I've started out to kill All who refuse to bow, in submission to my will. My army went through Spain, shooting women and children down We tore up all their Bibles and killed all the Protestants we found. My dupes sneaked through their cities, killing both old and young, And those who escaped the sword, were taken out and hung. I started out for the U.S.A. with the aid of the poison cup, The Ku Klux darn them, stopped us, and wouldn't take a sup. My K.C.'s are devils. Why, you should see them fight; They go sneaking through the land, and kill hundreds in a night. I knew what you would tell, till a year or so ago, When the Ku Klux Klan warned me to go more slow. They say, Mr. Pope, we don't want to make you sore, So be sure to tell your K. of C.'s not to bother our schools any more. . . . Now that's why I called you, Satan, for I want advice from you, I know that you would tell me just what I ought to do." "My dear Old Father Pope, there's not much to tell, For the Ku Klux will make it hotter than I can for you in hell. I've been a mean old devil, but not half as mean as you. And the minute that you get here, I will give my job to you. I'll be ready for your coming, and I'll keep the fires all bright, And I'll have your room all ready when the Klan begins to fight. For the boys in white will get you, I have nothing more to tell; Hang up the phone and get your hat and meet me here in hell."//

We, the delegation from the local convention held by the Washington Division #185 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the City of Washington, D.C., on August 27th, 28th and 29th, 1923, desire to present to you the good wishes and the ambitions of the convention. . . The membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is convinced that our race and our posterity cannot be free in these United States as long as we suffer the loss of the ballot, as long as we are kept out of these positions where we would learn the practical laws of finance, as long as we are not allowed an opportunity to learn the requirements and laws of big business, as long as we suffer from aggregation, from racial discrimination and from social ostracism at public places of amusement and entertainment. . . . We are busy in the work of developing our own leaders. . . . We are busy in encouraging as best we can, a knowledge of government and finance, we are encouraging young Negros to get a practical knowledge of manufacturing and a practical knowledge of the various engineering professions so that they may become missionaries in establishing modern civilization on the continent of Africa. Our goal is a strong and capable government on the continent of Africa with a modern civilization by Negroes, for the benefit of Negroes under our tri-color. ..

AMENDMENT XVIII //Passed by Congress December 18, 1917. Ratified January 16, 1919. Repealed by amendment 21.// Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.

Jaimie's DBQ Resistance to modernism arose as strong as the modernism itself. The opposing voices confronted and marked the 1920s with greater social issues. Religious fundamentalists contested rising modernists. Nativism disputed against immigrants. Also prohibition acts caused many controversies. Opposing movements against modernism further complicated the period of American cultural transition throughout the 1920s.

Christian fundamentalists were actively opposing the new scientific approach of the modernism. Christian fundamentalists campaigned against the teaching evolution in the public school (Document D). The Scopes trial found guilty of a teacher who taught evolution in a public school. (Document A) It outlawed teaching evolution or anything that denies the Divine creation taught in the Bible in the state of Tennessee. The Scopes trial drew attention of the entire country about the issue of religious fundamentalism vs. modernism. There was increasing number of church members, as well as increasing number of people in modern science perspectives.

Nativists blamed immigrants for all bad. The Red Scare in 1919 was a phenomena which Americans rejected any German/Communism related concepts. (Document B) In mass media, Germans were portrayed as cold-blood monsters. Not only Germans were in the target, but also immigrants were the targets of Americans. The Ku Klux Klan was reestablished to demonstrate their hatred against aliens and Jews (Document E). The nativism even led to the Congress to adopt the National Origins Quota Act. The act limited immigration from Europe. Besides the congress also adopted literacy test to reduce number of immigrants. Also foreigners accused of any dangerous movement was executed. For-example Sacco and Vanzetti Tria, two laborers from Italy were accused as anarchists and were executed (Document C). Americans thought immigrants are taking away their jobs and causing social chaos. Therefore they rejected any foreign ideas and treated immigrants violently and harshly.

The prohibition laws caused a lot of disagreements. The eighteenth amendment was passed in December 1917 to prohibit the manufacture, transport, and sale of alcoholic beverages. (Document J) The Anti-Saloon League, some religious compact and urban progressive people promoted the prohibition laws to treat the social disease of drunkenness. Although it did result decrease of alcohol consumption, it increased bootlegging and raised urban resistance. The resistance associations argued that the eighteenth amendment would lead more people to violate thus cause people look down on national laws. (Document G) Due to the large prohibition resistance, the amendment was repealed in 1933.

During 1920s, there were a lot of changes along with many confrontations. Religious fundamentalists confronted evolution, nativism confronted aliens and urban resistance confronted prohibition law. Opposing movements against modernism further complicated the period of American cultural transition throughout the 1920s.

Thesis: Your stance is cogent and clear. The entire 1st paragraph seems to be a form of an extended thesis, which allows the initial organization to take form. 7
===Facts: Clear understanding of the respective time period is evident. Nativism and Prohibition is discussed with depth. However the Scope Trial (Christian Fundamentalism) seems weak as factual info integrated into this particular paragraph is weaker compared to the other paragraphs. 7===

Use of documents: Excellent number (6) documents used in forming the argument. 7

"Opposing movements against modernism further complicated the period of American cultural transition throughout the 1920s." Assess the validity of this statement.

The 1920s of the United States was marked by a greater integration of ideas and people. Migration reached a level like never before, and the American economy looked like it would ride a golden highway forever. Culture and entertainment was greatly improved, as musicians, artists, and young adults experimented new concepts. However, it did not mean that the changes were only pleasant for the people of America. The added integration tore the country as Nativists rejected new immigrants usually with a different religion and belief; women rejected the disturbance of order, the minorities struggles to find level with the white population, and the poor factory workers fought for better conditions under the American economy. As new immigrants stormed in the nation, many Americans became skeptical. They wor ried that such an influx of foreign thought would make American “un-American.” Politicians who mirrored this concern passed laws issuing quotas for certain groups of immigrants. One large concern was the religion. America, traditionally being the land of Reformation Christianity, feared Catholicism and other anti-religious ideas entering the nation. As many believed “order” to be maintained through the principles of Christianity, they protected it viciously. In __Document A__, the Scope Trial reflects this attitude. This passage, where Bryan is questioned if he is knowledged of the Bible, and of his belief of the “world,” we can see just how heavily America was Christian; seeing that even its courts were like this, that is. In __Document D__, Darrows speaks in court of how the government should not let “teaching evolution in school” be a crime. He argues that banning such knowledge would be foolish, stepping upon the right to express and right to believe whatever one wishes to believe. Watching the audience in the movie, it is clear that the general population does not agree to Darrows, as they through narrow-minded comments. Such a division due to religion and belief was clear in the population during the 1920s. One other impact of the influx of immigration was that it created hostility towards un-American cultures. In __document C__, there is a picture of Sacco and Vanzetti, two Italian immigrants charged and eventually executed on the bases that they were anarchists. Time would tell that these two men actually had nothing to do with anarchism, however at the time, this trial was processed speedily, with bias and injustice. The American population was simply to angry to consider the case rationally. Factory work for the average workman was not easy. Working conditions were terrible, and factory owners were merciless (as well depicted in Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle). Before, if workers just handled these hardships, towards the 1920s, they started to fight back. Encouraged the Socialist movement (again, something very “un-American” from the Nativists’ point of view), workers of every industry held prolonged strikes. __Document B__ is an example of a Socialist leaflet that encouraged workers to fight for their rights. With the heading that reads: “Russia did it!” it also suggests that it is a foreign idea. __Document F__ is a letter, in which the chaotic situation of workers’ strike is outlined. It mentioned “railroad strikes, street car strikes,” etc. It reflects upon the level of intensity this workers’ union movement became; causing tension in American society between the employers and employees. There were yet two more groups that had different motives. The women, concerned about the lack of order and structure in American society, and worried of the corruption and filth, fought for the Prohibition act, a law banning the sales, transport, or consumption or alcohol in the US __(Document G__ discusses reasons for Prohibition). The African Americans continued their fight for rights: “[the African American group] is convinced that our race and our posterity cannot be free in these United States as long as we suffer the loss of the ballot, as long as we are kept out of these positions where we would learn the practical laws of finance, as long as we are not allowed an opportunity to learn the requirements and laws of big business, as long as we suffer from aggregation, from racial discrimination and from social ostracism at public places of amusement and entertainment.

Overall, as America was filled with different groups and different ideas and different motives, conflicts arose in every aspect of American Society.

- Cathy, this is good, but i think you shouldn't have quoted the whole document like that. i think you could have used more document. Your thesis is not little bit unclear. "The added integration tore the country as Nativists rejected new immigrants usually with a different religion and belief; women rejected the disturbance of order, the minorities struggles to find level with the white population, and the poor factory workers fought for better conditions under the American economy" overall your analysis is good and facts were well organized.
