Assignment:

Project 1

For this part of the Personalizing History Project, we will look at your hometowns, as an opportunity to see how the growth and expansion of the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was reflected in the expansion and development of the town or neighborhood where you came from or currently reside. Please use the SUNY Empire Online Library to gather information about your community. You also might want to gather materials via any local historical society or by visiting your public library.

Please create a post about Kearny New Jersey and then follow the next questions:

• Lists the year in which your community was founded, and any names of key founders.
• Describes key industries, notable figures, or aspects of the community that you find interesting.
• Discusses 1-3 key events that might have occurred in your community in the years 1880-1915 and their relationship with the broader outline of American history during this period.

Project 1.1

Make a final publication that analyzes the broader pattern of American history during this period in relation to the establishment and growth of smaller, more localized communities.

Rethinking the chronology of American history

Finally, after completing this task, answer the following questions:

-Pick a historical detail of the material you have gathered about your hometown that interests you most.

-Put that detail on the timeline to rethink the history of the US that we're building collectively.

-Be sure to place the source where you collected this information in a parenthesis at the end of your entry.

Make sure to put the references citation on Chicago Style
