Question

Each question below presents a hypothesis for developing a historical argument. Select ALL of the questions that a historian's answer to would be influenced by their SOCIAL ideology. There are three.1)How were colonial constitutions in America different from British colonial charters?2)How did the Harlem Renaissance affect American culture as a whole during the 1920s?3)How did desegregation affect the white and black populations of Alabama?4)What was the diplomatic relationship between the United States and the USSR after World War II ended?5)What weapons were most effective in World War I combat? 6)How did religious intolerance impact different groups of immigrants in early America?

Answer 1

These are the three that have to do with social matters, and thus historians' answers would be influenced by their social ideology:

• 2 )How did the Harlem Renaissance affect American culture as a whole during the 1920s?
• 3) How did desegregation affect the white and black populations of Alabama?
• 6) How did religious intolerance impact different groups of immigrants in early America?

As for the other answers:

• 1) has to do with politics/government or political science. (How were colonial constitutions in America different from British colonial charters?)
• 4) has to do with diplomatic history / international relations.  (What was the diplomatic relationship between the United States and the USSR after World War II ended?)
• 5) has to do with military history.  (What weapons were most effective in World War I combat?)

The three items I noted at first all concern social/cultural topics, and so would be influenced by a historian's own social ideology.
