IMMIGRANTS, ROBBER BARONS, AND URBAN BOSSES: ANDREW CARNEGIE AND GEORGE WASHINGTON PLUNKITT WAS DUE TODAY!
Each group presentation should be about eight minutes long based on the validity of the statement below.
In many ways, the moral and ethical standards of these urban bosses were equal to those of philanthropists such as Andrew Carnegie or many progressive reformers. Or to put it another way, Andrew Carnegie gave millions to build libraries, fund colleges, and promote world peace, yet he would not pay his workers a living wage or allow them to join unions. Tammany boss George Washington Plunkitt practiced and became wealthy through “honest graft,” yet he saw making the daily life of his constituents better as part of his job.
Don't forget to include an annotated bibliography to turn into Mr. Gottschalk!
We also have our chapter 17-20 test on Wednesday.
Don't forget to study!!
