| Ok tell me if this would be a good outline for an essay about progressive/populist.
I. Talk about Bacon's Rebellion and how it was a long before precursor to Populist ideas
II. Talk about the silver movement and how many people supported it because it helped poorer folk. Name the issues they supported (women's suffrage, getting rid of monopolies, direct election of senators, and income taxes, and of course free silver).
III. Campaigner was Williman Jenning's Bryan who campaigned on "free silver" that would help farmers in debt and would also lower the power the banks had on the national government.
IV. Talk about how Progressive borrowed ideas from the Populist movement and were encouraged by their achievements. After this talk about what they believed. Their prominent leaders (TR, Taft).
V. Talk about the reason they dissolved which is because they had accomplished all there goals. So in turn there goals actually kind of got rid of them.
Would these 5 topics be good enough for a populist/progressive essay if that is what the topic would be about? |
