Assignment:

"Class consciousness" emerges in America around the turn of the century and becomes even more relevant during the Progressive Era. Class consciousness refers to the idea that Americans (the working class, in particular) become aware of the fact that they are a unique group and are distinctly different from other economic classes (in this case, the "owners" in the capitalist system).

How did the labor movement expand the meaning of American freedom? In other words, how did labor strife bring new meaning to the idea of freedom of expression? What does this period tell us about the emergence of class consciousness in America? Is this still a relevant issue today? Why or why not?
