Topic: American labor in great depression

Order Description

“Prior to the 1930s, unions tended to become weak or disappear during economic downturns. By contrast, during the Great Depression, the American labor movement made enormous gains. Explain what caused those gains.”
I am looking for a well-organizing paper, with a clear thesis, supported by specific facts and evidence from the reading.

The sources should get from the book Who Built America: Working People and the Nation’s History, Volume Two: 1877 to the Present, Third Edition, Bedford/St. Martin’s (2008) (“WBA”) and Robert H. Zieger, Timothy J. Minchin, Gilbert J. Gall, American Workers, American Unions: The 20th and Early 21st Centuries, Fourth Edition, Johns Hopkins University Press (2014) (“AWAU”)

Your paper should have a thesis (argument), set for in an introductory paragraph. The paper should have additional paragraphs, each with a topic sentence, that provides reasons and evidence supporting your thesis. The evidence for your paper should be drawn exclusively from the readings for the course.

The evidence for your paper should be drawn exclusively from the readings for the course. Your paper should also address possible counterarguments to your thesis. If you quote, or take specific facts, from the readings, provide a citation at the end of the sentence. Citation format should be “WBA, p.___” or “AWAU p.___” or “SR #___.” Avoid contractions (e.g., “can’t” “didn’t”) and personal pronouns (e.g., “I” “my”). Make sure to carefully check your paper for spelling, grammar and typographical errors before submitting it.
