Some Primary Sources if you are doing the carnegie/gates essay
Hey,
I found a few helpful links to the department of justice site and some new york times archives. They can help give you the actual ruling in the US v Microsoft anti-trust case and some eye witness accounts of who shot whom first at the Homestead Strike respectively. The course blog says its okay to post discussions on primary sources so what the hey.
http://www.justice.gov/atr/cases/f200400/200457.pdf
for the final judgement on Microsoft
http://www.justice.gov/atr/cases/ms_index.htm
for everything on the antitrust trial in 98
http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9404EED61538E233A25754C0A9619C94639ED7CF
for an account of a boat captain bringing the Pinkertons to the Homestead Mills
http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9504EED61538E233A25754C0A9619C94639ED7CF
for the accounts of the wounded men and their admittance to respective hospitals
I hope I saved someone hours of pouring through wikipedia trying to find these. If there are better ones out there, I'd be interested in seeing them

Introduction to U.S. History
R.S. Deese
email: R.Deese@neu.edu or rsdeese@gmail.com
Office Hours: Tuesday & Friday: 8-9:30, 213 Meserve
This course will survey the broad sweep of American history from the colonial era to the twenty-first century. Although we will cover a sprawling and diverse array of subjects over the course of four centuries of American history, certain themes will recur in our lectures discussions, such as the changing role of technology and the environment in American history, and the enduring tension between state and federal power in American political life.
In addition to the midterm and final exams, you will be required to write a paper analyzing two primary sources for this class. The Final Paper (1200 words) will cover one of four subjects: Comparing the Inaugural Addresses of Two Different Presidents from Two Different Parties; US Role in Global Politics before and after WWII; Ecology and Politics since 1945, the Role of Race, Class, or Gender in American Politics since 1945, and the Constitution and the Rise of the Imperial Presidency Since 1945.
