ISBN: 0787665894 ISBN-13: 9780787665890 Publisher: Gale Cengage OUR PRICE: $280.96 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: December 2003 Annotation: The United States in the 1910s grappled with war "over there," women's suffrage, and the Great Migration of African Americans. The first world war, called "the war to end all wars," ushered the United States onto the international stage and made the country a reluctant leader. Domestically, African Americans left the strongly segregated and racially divided South in search of more opportunities in the North, though not necessarily more acceptance. While industry was booming in the North, working conditions were unregulated and unsafe, a point brought home by the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York. By the decade's end, the Girl Scouts of America were formed, women had achieved the right to vote, and the temperance movement had succeeded in putting a proposal to prohibit the sale and consumption of alcohol before Congress.
