I. Aspects of Society and Social Issues II. Technological changes
III. Politics in the City
• “The United States lies like a huge page in the history of society. Line by line as we read this continental page from West to East we find the record of social evolution. It begins with the Indian and the hunter, it goes on to tell of the disintegration of savagery by the entrance of the trader, the pathfinder of civilization; we read the annals of the pastoral stage in ranch life; the exploitation of the soil by the raising of unrotated crops of corn and wheat in sparsely settled farming communities; the intensive culture of the denser farm settlement; and finally the manufacturing organization with city and factory system.”
• Frederick Jackson Turner, The significance of the frontier in American History, 1893
William M. Tweed, AKA « Boss » TweedRan an efficient and corrupt political
