John Hobson, an English economist, saw imperialism as inevitable, for powers of production outpace consumption resulting in more profit for the mother country (doc 2). The United States was involved in imperialism due to the Monroe Doctrine of 1823, which made the western hemisphere an American protectorate and their victory in the Spanish-American War making them a Pacific power. Both Europe and America believed imperialism could bring them economic power and capacity. Imperialism was not strictly confined to economics; it also included the political aims of unique states. John Hobson deemed demand for foreign markets for manufacturers and investments was responsible for the adoption of Imperialism as a political policy (doc 2).
During the Great Depression, President Roosevelt used several revolutionary tactics to heal the suffering American economy. These tactics, the providing of public service jobs, the movement for social security and the implementation of a "blanket code" for workers rights, had great success and greatly revolutionized the role of the federal government.

In 1935 the Roosevelt administration created the WPA to help employ Americans for publicly funded projects such as "city beautification." As seen in Document J this jobs did help to greatly lower the percentage of unemployed between 1935 and 1938.

As you can see capitalism was alive in both the North and the South and “captains of industry” were constantly fighting against corruption. The capitalists of this period had created many job opportunities. Thousands if not millions of Americans found work thanks to Carnegie’s US Steel,
The New World Man The song ‘New World Man’ is about how America is changing and growing for the better. The experiences in America were put into metaphors and made into a song reflecting the growth and learning with new changes over time.

Segregation laws did not only humiliate blacks, they were also used to cut them off from employment opportunities and other essential social services. In most cases, blacks received inferior facilities and treatments. “From the 1880s into the 1960s, a majority of American states enforced segregation through "Jim Crow" laws… From Delaware to California, and from North Dakota to Texas, many states (and cities, too) could impose legal punishments on people for consorting with members of another race.
